Best Time to Visit

During peak season, July to August, the temperatures range from 22°C to 30°C. July is the sunniest time of the year making Croatian waters perfect for a swim, with water temperatures of 24°C. However, during the summer, Dubrovnik is flocked by tourist and the hotel prices are increasing, due to this many prefer travel in May to June or September to October. These months are still offering sunny days, warm enough to swim and the restaurants and tourist attractions are open. In the low season, November to April, most facilities are closed, and the weather is more unsteady.
