Dubrovnik Airport (DBV), also known as Čilipi Airport, is the third-busiest airport in Croatia and the gateway to the Dalmatian coast, located around 20 km south-east of Dubrovnik’s old town. It handles strong seasonal traffic, peaking heavily in summer.
Dubrovnik operates from a single modernised terminal, expanded to handle growing summer demand, with all check-in and gates together.
Airport shuttle buses run to Dubrovnik’s old town and the main bus station in around 30–40 minutes, timed with flights. Taxis reach the old town in about 25–30 minutes along the coast road.
