Parking<br />
Central Dubrovnik can be a nightmare when it comes<br />
to parking, and it’s not uncommon to see visitors<br />
driving around in circles for hours in <strong>the</strong> hope <strong>of</strong> finding<br />
a free space. Your best bet is to head for <strong>the</strong> multistorey<br />
car park at Ilijina Glavica (Zagrebačka ulica bb,<br />
K-2), well-placed for people entering <strong>the</strong> city from <strong>the</strong><br />
west. A bus shuttles passengers from <strong>the</strong> car park<br />
to <strong>the</strong> Old Town’s Pile Gate, although with Pile lying a<br />
mere ten minutes downhill on foot, you might not need<br />
it. Parking costs 5 - 30kn/hour or 85 - 360kn/day<br />
depending which zone you’re in and <strong>the</strong> season.<br />
Text message parking . Croatia was <strong>the</strong> first ever<br />
country to introduce payment by text message for<br />
street parking! It’s so simple. Look for <strong>the</strong> sign to see<br />
which zone you’re in. Send <strong>the</strong> registration number <strong>of</strong><br />
your car as a text message (no spaces, no special<br />
characters) to <strong>the</strong> four digit number shown. Your payment<br />
is confirmed when you get a message back from<br />
<strong>the</strong>m. Different zones have different max waiting times<br />
and prices.<br />

www.airport-<strong>dubrovnik</strong>.hr. The advent <strong>of</strong> well priced tickets<br />
for domestic flights means that most people in Dubrovnik get<br />
around <strong>the</strong> country by plane. There are a limited number <strong>of</strong><br />
tickets selling for rock bottom prices - a single to Zagreb can<br />
cost as little as 340kn, but you must reserve your ticket well in<br />
advance - or strike it lucky - to get <strong>the</strong>se. International flights<br />
are also becoming more affordable with <strong>the</strong> arrival <strong>of</strong> budget<br />
airlines such as Germanwings and Norwegian Air Shuttle. See<br />
<strong>the</strong> airline websites for reservations.<br />
Getting <strong>the</strong>re: Catch a bus from <strong>the</strong> main coach station,<br />
tickets cost 35kn one way, or call a taxi (200 - 250kn). Check<br />
with your airline for <strong>the</strong> bus timetable. If you take your car<br />
<strong>the</strong>re’s a long stay car park (<strong>the</strong> first 15min parking is free<br />
<strong>of</strong> charge, anything over 15min and up to 24hours will cost<br />
between 5 - 40kn. Parking beyond 24 hours <strong>the</strong>reafter is<br />
2kuna per hour. In case you do lose your parking ticket, a<br />

Towed away<br />
If you were naughty and parked illegally, a big truck might<br />
come and tow your little broom-broom away! Oh no! If that<br />
happens, don’t be too sad, all is not lost. Visit <strong>the</strong> depot in<br />
Gospino polje (leads from Pile to Lapad). Most <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> year<br />
it’s open 24 hours and from December till February from<br />
07:00 - 23:00. The bad news is you’ll have to pay a charge <strong>of</strong><br />
500kn for <strong>the</strong> trouble, plus a police fine <strong>of</strong> up to 700kn. Let’s<br />
face it, it could be worse! The people <strong>the</strong>re speak English<br />
