Disabled Holidays in Dubrovnik

For the holidaymaker, the Old Town serves as a handily compact area to experience the best Dubrovnik has to offer, with its impressive churches, fountains, gardens, intriguing museums, designer shops and accessible restaurants.

Accessible attractions in Dubrovnik

The Old Town is served by two accessible entrance gates, one on either side of the city: Pile and Ploče. Accessible attractions inside the walls include the Cultural History Museum, which is housed in the elegant Rector’s Palace, and Dubrovnik Aquarium, home to all manner of colourful sealife.

Although some areas of the Old Town feature steps and steep streets, a great deal of it is flat and wheelchair traversable, including Stradun, the wide central thoroughfare; the Ulica od Puca area, and around the harbour.

Outside the Old Town, the most popular thing to do is ride the Dubrovnik Cable Car, which takes visitors up the adjacent Mount Srd for spectacular views over the city, its verdant islands and the gleaming Adriatic. There are wheelchair-accessible gondolas to transport guests to the upper station, where they’ll find a panoramic restaurant, souvenir shops and binocular telescopes.

Dubrovnik is also blessed with a number of popular beaches scattered along its coastline. One of the best is Copacabana Beach, a half-moon pebble offering with crystal-clear waters and plenty of cafes and restaurants to choose from. It’s also the only beach in Dubrovnik with a wheelchair lift, making it a great option for visitors with mobility requirements.

Farther afield there’s Trsteno Arboretum, which lies 12 miles to the northwest and is reachable by bus from Dubrovnik. The gardens are famous as one of the filming locations for HBO’s Game of Thrones, which also made extensive use of the Old Town’s city walls to portray the fictional settlement of King’s Landing.
