Croatian is the official language in Dubrovnik. However, English is widely spoken in tourist areas, restaurants, and hotels, making it easy for international visitors to communicate.

The best time to visit Dubrovnik is from late spring to early fall (May to September) when the weather is warm and sunny. July and August are peak season with the highest temperatures and crowds.

A popular day trip from Dubrovnik includes visiting Kotor in Montenegro. Daytrip makes it easy to create custom sightseeing trips around the region.

Dubrovnik is considered very safe for visitors. It's one of Croatia's safest cities with low crime rates. Standard travel precautions like watching personal belongings and avoiding poorly lit areas at night are sufficient.

Pack comfortable walking shoes for the cobblestone streets, lightweight clothing for summer, a light jacket for evenings, sunscreen, and a hat. Don't forget swimwear if you plan to visit beaches.
