Use the official Libertas suburban bus PDFs to plan trips around the Dubrovnik region. Each PDF includes the timetable plus a route map/schematic, so you can quickly match your destination to the correct line number and check the latest departures.

Even though the Dubrovnik region offers many great places to visit, suburban buses can be harder to plan for day trips, especially on routes heading north where departures can be less frequent and the last return bus matters. The fastest way to find the right schedule is to choose the correct timetable group: Suburban - East (Župa dubrovačka and Konavle, toward Cavtat) or Suburban - West (Dubrovačko primorje, toward places like Slano and Ston).

The easiest suburban trip for most visitors is the connection between Dubrovnik and Cavtat, including popular seaside stops like Srebreno, Mlini and Plat. This is Bus 10: Dubrovnik - Cavtat timetableline 10 Dubrovnik - Cavtat, and the official fare example for Cavtat is 4,00 EUR.

Where to board in Dubrovnik

Most suburban routes start at the main bus station in Gruž. Some buses also pick up at city stops closer to the Old Town (check your specific line on the official PDF), but if you want the safest option to catch the correct bus, start at Gruž and confirm your line number and stop list before departure. For getting around Dubrovnik itself (including rides to the main bus station in Gruž), see the Dubrovnik City Bus Map and Timetables.

Bus 10: Dubrovnik - Cavtat (Suburban East)

For most visitors, bus line 10 is the easiest suburban route to use: it links Dubrovnik with Cavtat and serves popular Dubrovnik Riviera stops in Župa dubrovačka (including the Mlini and Srebreno area) along the way.

It’s a practical choice for a half-day or full-day trip because departures are spread throughout the day. Just remember to check the latest official timetable before you go, because some departures do not run on Sundays or public holidays in Croatia.

For the most up-to-date information for line 10 and other East suburban routes, use the official Libertas Suburban East timetable PDF (departure times can change during the year).

Tip: for city buses within Dubrovnik (including getting to Gruž main bus station), use the Dubrovnik City Bus Map and Timetables.

Bus 15: Dubrovnik - Ston (Suburban West)

If you want a budget-friendly way to reach Ston (gateway to the Pelješac peninsula) from Dubrovnik, bus line 15 is the key suburban west route. It’s ideal for a day trip to see Ston’s famous walls, salt pans and seafood spots, but departures are limited, so plan around the timetable and your return bus.

On the official route notes, the bus reaches Orašac in about +25 minutes and Slano in about +45 minutes from Dubrovnik (and on the way back from Ston, Slano is about +20 minutes and Orašac about +40 minutes). Line 15 is marked as not running on Sundays and holidays, so always double-check your travel date (especially around public holidays in Croatia).

One-way ticket price example to Ston: €6,40.

Tip: if you’re planning Ston as a day trip, check the return bus first and keep a buffer for summer traffic. For more ideas, see best day trips from Dubrovnik.

Bus 12: Dubrovnik - Slano (Suburban West)

Bus line 12 is the straightforward public-transport option for reaching Slano from Dubrovnik (Suburban West). It’s a good pick if you want a calmer coastal base north of the city without renting a car, but like most westbound suburban routes, you should plan around the departure times and your return.

According to the official route notes, the bus reaches Orašac in about +25 minutes and Brsečine in about +35 minutes from Dubrovnik (and on the way back from Slano, Brsečine is about +10 minutes and Orašac about +20 minutes). Some late services are seasonal (01.06–30.09), so always confirm the latest timetable before travel.

One-way ticket price example to Slano: €3,70 (official price list).

Does Dubrovnik Pass include suburban buses?

Dubrovnik Pass includes public transport on Libertas city buses within Dubrovnik, but it does not cover suburban lines such as line 10 to Cavtat or westbound routes to Brsečine, Slano or Ston. For those trips, you need a separate suburban ticket.

To get around Dubrovnik itself (including rides to the main bus station in Gruž), see the Dubrovnik City Bus Map and Timetables.

Practical tips for Dubrovnik suburban buses (avoid common mistakes)

• Start with East vs West: pick the correct timetable group first, then match your destination to the line number and stops in the official PDF.
• Board at Gruž main bus station when timing matters: it’s the safest place to catch the right suburban bus and get a seat, especially in summer.
• Don’t rely on “it runs every X minutes”: suburban routes can have different patterns by day, and some lines note Sundays/holidays or seasonal operation. Always check the latest PDF for your exact date.
• Plan the return first (especially West): north/west routes can have fewer departures, so check the last return bus before you commit to a day trip.
• Confirm your exact stop name: villages and seaside areas can have multiple stops or route variants (use the stop list on the PDF, not just the map image).
• Allow extra time in peak season: coastal roads can be slow in July/August, which may affect arrival times.
• City vs suburban: use suburban PDFs for Cavtat/Mlini/Brsečine/Ston routes, and use the Dubrovnik City Bus Map and Timetables for getting around Dubrovnik city.

If buses do not fit your schedule

Suburban buses are a budget-friendly way to explore the Dubrovnik region, but they are not always ideal for tight itineraries (especially west/north routes with fewer departures). If the timetable does not match your plan, these options are usually faster and more flexible.
