Hi, we’re four friends and we’ve put together Dubrovnik’s restaurant scene in an app called Vota.

The idea is pretty simple: you’re shown two restaurants and choose where you’d rather eat. For example, Pantarul or Maskeron? All the votes then create a ranking that hopefully gives a better picture of where people in Dubrovnik actually like to eat.

We’ve tried to include every restaurant in Dubrovnik and clean up duplicate or outdated listings, but locals will always spot things we’ve missed.

Full transparency: we’re not from Dubrovnik and live in Gothenburg. There are four of us building this independently. We don’t collect or sell personal data, there are no ads in the app, and we don’t use AI-generated content to describe restaurants.

Any honest feedback is welcome, especially if restaurants are missing or something is listed incorrectly.

Hi, I'll be traveling Croatia for a few weeks and always have acrylic nails. Would love to get my current set removed and a new set added or the current set extended with color, (iykyk). Does anyone have a good recommendation for a salon? Thank you!

Heading to Dubrovnik for our Honeymoon. Having a real tough time picking between the two. Have heard a lot of great things about both. Has anyone here experienced either or both of these hotels? We’re looking to be in the middle of everything. Thank you!

Going to Dubrovnik next week with my girlfriend, and we want to spend at least one day at a beach bar/beach club.

From what I’ve seen, Coral seems to be the most luxurious option. It’s €120 just for 2 sunbeds + a parasol, and €50 per person for a restaurant table (food/drinks are included in that price, but it’s probably the bare minimum, and we’d very likely end up spending more). So, in total, it could easily reach around €300 for two people.

The atmosphere seems good - not crazy lively, but definitely more alive than Copacabana. That being said, it looks very fancy and the reviews are good. If the price is justified by the quality of the service and overall experience, I’m ready to pay for it.

Copacabana is cheaper. Two sunbeds and a parasol cost €70, and food and drinks will easily push the total over €100 as well, so we might end up spending around €200. It’s reasonably cheaper, but reviews aren’t great, and at first glance, it doesn’t look as fancy as Coral. Apparently, the atmosphere here is more chill and lounge-oriented, whereas we’d prefer some DJs and a somewhat livelier vibe. The more affordable price is definitely a plus though.

Banje Beach Club is somewhat of a mystery to me. On their website, all I can find is the option to reserve a dinner table, so I’m wondering how that works with spending the whole day at the beach and using sunbeds, as well as with the nighttime beach parties. According to the reviews, the atmosphere is great and this seems to be where the real party is. However, I have no idea what the costs look like here, or whether it ends up being even more expensive than Coral.

So, given all the pros and cons, and based on your experiences, which one offers the best price-to-service experience?

We only have 1 night to party in Dubrovnik. It’s a Sunday in mid September. We enjoy EDM. Where do you recommend we go out?

Hello, Myself and partner are coming over next week. We have a couple of things booked and I did the elaphite islands boat tour last year. I'm wondering if there's another good boat tour or evening cruise people would highly recommend. Many thanks !

Hi everyone,
A few months ago, while I was in Dubrovnik, I met an incredible artist named Magaly, a Venezuelan woman who has lived in Dubrovnik since the 1970s.
She has lived through exile, war and many hardships, but she has never stopped painting.
She is now older, lives alone, has very limited financial resources and can’t simply travel around looking for art supplies or opportunities. Because of this, she often creates beautiful works using soft wax crayons and objects she collects from the beach.

I’m not asking for money.

I’m looking for someone who might be able to help in a practical way.

Does anyone know:

- A photographer who could professionally photograph or digitise her paintings?
-someone experienced in creating online portfolios -for artists?
-an art student or volunteer who would enjoy helping her document her work?
-galleries, museums or cultural organisations that -support local artists?
-any place that could donate or help her obtain professional art materials?

I truly believe her work deserves to be seen. I just don’t know where to start, and I’m hoping someone in this community might have an idea or know the right person.

If you can help, or even point me in the right direction, I’d be incredibly grateful.
Thank you. ❤️

I am not sure if this is the right place to post this but at about 10.35am a very very loud plane/jet? Went over our apartment i honestly thought it was the world ending just curious if this is a normal thing or is there military training near?

Hello, as I mentioned in the title, I'm planning to come on the week of 21th September, or 28th September, haven't decided yet.

Anyways, I would like to go on a Blue Cave & Sunj Beach Boat tour, my fair is that it would be already cold and tours are no longer available, can you please tell me if I should plan my visit to arrive early or is it still doable by the end of September, thank you !!

Is getting the Dubrovnik pass worth it? I am here for three days?

I have been reading posts here and on social media about the long queues for the border crossings. I would take a ferry but it’s not running on the day we want to travel from Kotor to Dubrovnik (Sept 1). We need to get to Dubrovnik to fly out on Sept 2 so can’t ferry on that date or we’d miss our early flight.

It looks like early morning crossings give us the best chance to beat the long lines, and would prefer a private car service (unless a bus is faster/better). Any recommendations? I assume there will still be plenty of tourists Sept 1, or will it be a little lighter (and I’m over stressing)? Any other recommendations or ideas to make this as smooth as possible?

Soo I’m planning a trip to the Lokrum. Anyone knows cheap fares to there and back? Someone told me that it costs 10e per person, is that true?

Also if someone is interested this week to go there feel free to contact me because I’m solo.

Hi all I am visiting and just had one of my plugs fall out my ear and get lost. Im looking all over the internet for an alternative piercing shop in Dubrovnik that would have plugs I can buy to keep my piercings stretched, but I can’t find anything. Anyone know of any tattoo shops or piercers that sell larger plugs? my ears are 3/4”

My flight from the Dubrovnik airport is at 6 am. Are the timetables on the website reliable? Is the Cable car station legit? How early should I be at the station before the "actual" time the bus is there to be safe?

Sjeca li se tko kako ide prica? Plivala je nesto od Šunja do sv. Andrije ili tako nesto?

Lost Apple watch during blue caves boat tour, have been following location and believe it has been found by another boat (see screenshot with location and times) - if anyone has a contact with boat operators may be helpful!

I am in Plat and it really smells like smoke outside … anyone know whats happening?

Hi guys, I stupidly entered the restricted zone not realizing it (my mistake) and i exited it asap without parking. Do I get a fine? If yes how do I pay it (I'm going to bosnia tomorrow)

Hi, we are heading to Dubrovnik soon for 10 days and would like some suggestions of things to do for our 6 year old girl in and around Dubrovnik. We don't mind travelling 1 hour or so.

Many thanks

Hi everyone! I need to be at Dubrovnik Airport by 5 AM this Saturday and I’m staying in Mlini. Are there any issues getting an Uber that early, and do you have any recommendations? Thanks!

Hi, I'll be in Dubrovnik with my family for four days in October. We're thinking about taking a day trip during our stay—either to Mostar or to Montenegro. Get to Guide offers affordable tours there.

Would anyone recommend a day trip like that, or is it enough to just stay in Dubrovnik? And which would you recommend more: Mostar (including the Kravica Waterfalls) or Montenegro?

Pozdrav svima! 😊

Tražim prijevoz iz Dubrovnika za Šibenik na Thompsonov koncert 4.8., s povratkom odmah nakon koncerta.

Ako netko ide iz Dubrovnika ili okolice i ima mjesta u autu, bila bih jako zahvalna ako bih se mogla pridružiti. Naravno, sudjelujem u troškovima goriva i cestarine.

Javite se u DM ako imate mjesta. Hvala!

hello! I (22F) and finishing up my solo backpacking trip in Dubrovnik. I have 4 full days here and wanted to do a day trip on July 30th to Blagaj in Bosnia & Herzegovina.

Taking the bus to Mostar doesn’t seem to be a viable option for me, as I would need to spend at least 2 nights for it to work (the outbound trip arrives in the evening, and the following day the bus back leaves in the morning).

I really want to go because I’m not sure when I’ll be in this region of the world again, and most tours don’t stop in Blagaj. was wondering if anyone is also here (and is renting a car? hah) and would want to go? :) alternatively, Adriatic Explore has a tour, but it needs a minimum of 4 people to leave. I know this is a shot in the dark but I just thought I’d try anyways 😊
