Arrival by automobile
Dubrovnik can be reached from Central and Western Europe in several ways; please select from the following:
From Western Europe:
- Via Rijeka – motorway and continental road (Rijeka - Senj - Žuta Lokva - Gospić - Dugopolje - Vrgorac - Ploče (motorway) - Dubrovnik)
- Combination of Adriatic Highway (coastal road) and motorway (Rijeka - Senj - Karlobag - Maslenica - Split - Makarska – Ploče (motorway) - Dubrovnik)
There are many different combinations using coastal roads and sections of the motorway. If taking the Adriatic Highway, one can enjoy the seaside scenery. The other option is taking the motorway, which passes through the continental part of the country, where the landscape is different, but no less picturesque.
From Central Europe:
- Via Zagreb (Zagreb - Karlovac - Žuta Lokva - Gospić - Dugopolje - Vrgorac - Ploče (motorway) - Dubrovnik). It is possible to combine this route with the Adriatic Highway.
- Via Osijek (across Bosnia and Herzegovina) (Osijek - Slavonski Brod (or Brčko) - Sarajevo - Mostar - Metković - Dubrovnik / Sarajevo - Foča - Trebinje - Dubrovnik)
