Reaching Tantina upon arriving
From the Airport - unless you have arranged for a pick-up (which we can arrange for you) or friend to pick you up, you have the choice between a shuttle bus, car rental, public transport and taxi.
•Tantina usually offers arranged transport to the apartment for 20 EUR from/to the airport, with prices for other locations varying.
•Taxi - Unless multiple planes arrived, there should be some waiting.
It will get you straight to Tantina, in less than 30 minutes for around
30-50 euro.
•Shuttle bus - The white bus with pictures of the town right outside
of the terminal. One is ready after each flight lands and leaves when
everyone boards. A ticket costs 6 euro. It will get you to the bus
terminal or Pile Gate. You can take the number 7 bus from the bus terminal, and 5/6/2a from Pile Gate(more details in the public transport section).
•Car rental - There are many car rental agencies at the airport, with
prices varying widely. Averaging at somewhere around 30-40 euro
for last minute rentals. If you're looking to rent, you should definitely
make prior arrangements.
•Public buses - Buses 11, 27 and 38 will get you from the airport to the
bus terminal for roughly 3 euro per person. They're rare, though,
running only 3 times per day.
For all of this information and more visit the airport's website: (website hidden).
From the bus terminal - whether you arrived by bus or got here from the airport, this will be your last stop before you get to Tantina. You can take the bus or a taxi.
•The bus - Just wait for the 7 bus and get out at Pošta Lapad. If
you are unsure where that is, any local in the bus will know and
gladly help. Once you exit the bus, Tantina is just a short walk away.
•Taxi - There should be taxis already waiting there, but if not just call
the number on the sign. A direct fare to Tantina will cost you around
10 euro.
Driving
-Driving in Dubrovnik is not the best experience in the world.
-The roads are narrow, often one way, with an unexpectedly large amount of traffic lights and pedestrian crossings.
-Despite all that, actual traffic jams are very rare but it will still be very crowded.
-If you get lost, just pull over and ask a local (if possible try to remember a landmark or have a map because no one knows the street names).
-Parking is horrible. It can cost up to 6 euro per hour outside of the Old Town, but since you won't be getting a spot there anyway, you'll have to use the public garage. It's about a 5-7 minute walk and an hour costs 3 euro. It most likely won't be full, though.
-A car is great for going to some of the cool areas outside of the city, but buses will work just fine.
-Traffic police presence is common outside of the city and you will get fined for speeding if they catch you. The same goes for not paying parking fees.
-Driving is absolutely feasible if you can handle a bit of annoyance and the parking costs.
_____________________________________________________________
Public transport
-Uses only buses and covers the whole city and all surrounding areas.
-Buses are reliable, but fail miserably on occasion.
-Like everything and everywhere in the city, buses will be crowded and hot, but people are extremely rarely rude, aggressive or unhygienic.
-Tantina is a couple of minutes away from the main bus stop in Lapad.
-Three lines go directly to the Old Town:
6 - every 10-15 minutes (this is basically the main line in the city)
5 - every hour
2a - every hour (different times than 5, though).
-The first buses start somewhere between 5 and 6 am, while the last ones are between 1 and 3 am. This depends on the line and the month.
-Visit: (website hidden) for the timetable and more information about buses.
-A bus ticket costs almost exactly 2 euro.
-An open top tour bus is also available.
Taxis
-Taxis in Dubrovnik are plentiful and are available via phone or at designated taxi gatherings.
-It's very rare to be able to hail one, as the city is small and they don't drive around unless with a customer.
-One taxi gathering place is very close to the above mentioned bus stop and you'll always find a taxi there.
-A ride usually costs 7-10 euro. You can always expect to pay a similar price since the city is small, most of the price is the starting price and there's only a handful of destinations.
-Taxis are available 0/24.
-Generally, a taxi will be cheaper or just barely more expensive than a bus for 3 or more people.
-Taxis don't really have many ways to cheat even if they wanted to. There aren't exactly any circles to drive in, and there's usually only one or two roughly equal ways to get somewhere.
-Taxis drive to and from the airport charge around 30 euro. It takes less than 30 minutes to get there.
_____________________________________________________________
-Both buses and taxis have an exclusive shortcut to the Old Town other vehicles can't access and may or may not have separate lanes depending on how city management feels that particular nanosecond.

Walking
-Unless going to/farther than the Old Town or outside of the city, it's very easy to walk.
-Tantina has everything you may need just minutes away.
-Walking to the Old Town is not a feat of strength, though. It should take around 30 minutes with a healthy pace and covers a distance you'd normally walk in the center of any major city.
-Dubrovnik is well suited for walking from a city planning perspective.
-Many distances are cut shorter by walking, pavement (or a substitute) is virtually everywhere and there are plenty of walking only zones.
-Geographically, it's less suited for walking. There are almost no flat areas, everything is at an incline. Stairs are pretty common everywhere.
-It also gets quite hot, which could make walking less attractive.
-All in all, a walking only Dubrovnik experience is well within reason and would save a substantial amount of money while not sacrificing too much time. You can always change your mind.
Cycling
-Dubrovnik is not flat at all.
-If you're not taking a car, you'll be occasionally expected to navigate stairs or make large detours.
-There are no bike lanes or paths.
-There are no bike racks. It's unlikely your bike will get stolen, though. There are plenty of poles just in case.
-Cyclists are welcome at Tantina, with ample spaces to keep bikes.
-It's definitely possible, but challenging in multiple ways. However, if you're the kind of person to arrive by bike, it shouldn't be much of an issue.
