Traveling Tips

Check the Schedule in Advance – Bus timetables can change depending on the season, with more frequent departures in summer. Make sure to check the latest schedule before planning your trip.  

Be Ready for an Early Start – Many buses from Mostar to Dubrovnik leave in the morning or early afternoon. If you prefer a relaxed start, choose a later departure, but keep in mind that fewer buses run in the evening.  

Bring Your Passport and Check Visa Requirements – Since Dubrovnik is in Croatia, travelers will cross an international border. A valid passport is required, and some nationalities may need a visa. Delays at the border are possible, especially in peak tourist season.  

Keep Some Local Currency Handy – Mostar operates on Bosnian Convertible Marks (BAM), while Dubrovnik uses Euros (€). It’s good to have a small amount of both currencies in case you need to buy food or pay for transport upon arrival.  

Expect Limited Onboard Amenities – While some buses may have WiFi, air conditioning, or charging ports, others may not. Bring a power bank, headphones, and offline entertainment for the journey.  

Sit on the Right for the Best Views – As you get closer to Dubrovnik, the right side of the bus offers incredible views of the Adriatic Sea and Dalmatian coastline.  

Pack Light but Smart – Most buses allow one piece of checked luggage and a carry-on, but extra bags may cost more. Keep essentials like travel documents, snacks, and water in your hand luggage.  

Be Mindful of Border Delays – The border crossing can take anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour, depending on traffic and time of day. If you have a flight or ferry to catch in Dubrovnik, take an earlier bus to avoid stress.  

Plan Your Next Move in Dubrovnik – The Dubrovnik Bus Station is in Gruž, not the Old Town. Local buses and taxis are available, but they can be crowded in high season. Consider walking along the port area for a scenic route into town.  

Make the Most of Your Arrival – If you arrive early, drop off your luggage at a storage facility near the bus station and explore Dubrovnik’s Old Town, Fort Lovrijenac, or the cable car ride to Mount Srđ before checking in at your hotel.
