Juice39 Posted May 17, 2017 #1 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I'm hoping to have time for a quick look around Dubrovnik before we sail on Thomson Spirit. I realise I can get the public bus, or there may be a shuttle from the ship to Pile Gate. Will I be able to pay the fare in Euros or using a debit or credit card? (I'm reluctant to take Kuna as all other ports are Euro.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pensioncruiser Posted May 17, 2017 #2 Share Posted May 17, 2017 They will accept Euros but some of the shops/cafes only accept Kaunas. No shuttle bus taxi is best and you can share, don't try to walk. Sent from my VF-895N using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juice39 Posted May 17, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Thanks for the quick reply pensioncruiser. I definitely won't be walking as I've a wheelchair to push! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pensioncruiser Posted May 17, 2017 #4 Share Posted May 17, 2017 You are most welcome and with the exception of the wall walk its easy access. Sent from my VF-895N using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare elmsliebev Posted May 19, 2017 #5 Share Posted May 19, 2017 From what I remember, the bus is kuna only. Last July a taxi was 13euros very near the ship, but 10euros if you walked a little way just outside the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juice39 Posted May 20, 2017 Author #6 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Thanks for helpful information elmsliebev, I had thought it would be Kuna on the bus, but read something about getting tickets at a kiosk and wondered if I could use a credit card there. A taxi will probably be best, as I'll need to fold and stow the wheelchair, but I do like to check all the options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeBee132 Posted May 20, 2017 #7 Share Posted May 20, 2017 We have just got back from Dubrovnik (on the Spirit) and there is a bus outside the port which costs 15 kuna ( about £2) for a return journey, if you go to the little shop opposite the gangway as you walk off the ship, he will sell you tickets using euros or kuna. The only thing you need kuna for is the walk on the walls. You can exchange small amounts in Dubrovnik. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it obvious where to get off on & off the bus and where do you catch the return bus from Dubrovnik? Regards Len Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pensioncruiser Posted May 23, 2017 #9 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Its is but sometimes you may have to stand as they get very busy Sent from my VF-895N using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeBee132 Posted May 23, 2017 #10 Share Posted May 23, 2017 The bus station is just outside the port, I think it is a number 1 or 3. It says old town on the front, and you return from the place it dropped you off at and get off at the bus station, easy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seabreeze@ Posted May 24, 2017 #11 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Yes, was there last week. It is the 1a and 1b but we were packed in like sardines and I certainly wouldn't recommend it for a wheelchair user. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
