Dubrovnik Airport (DBV)
History, Facts and Overview

(Dubrovnik, Croatia)

Dubrovnik Airport was originally constructed on its current site in 1960, although it was previously based at nearby Gruda, in the south-easterly area of Konavle, for more than 30 years. From the 1990s onwards, the airport has been thoroughly modernised, extended and renovated, with improved facilities, an updated passenger terminal, a new parking area for buses, and additional duty-free shopping.

Nearby Cavtat can be reached in just a few minutes, while the city of Dubrovnik is approximately a 20-minute drive from the airport.


Regional shuttle buses transport passengers from the terminal to the gate of Dubrovnik's old town, where connections can be made to Zagreb, Spilt and a number of smaller Croatian villages.

Taxis depart from a rank outside of the airport terminal and travel to multiple local destinations in Cavtat and Dubrovnik.
