You thought that October is off-season in Dubrovnik? I thought so too. We were both wrong. Dubrovnik was unbelievably busy mostly, but not exclusively, with cruise ship passengers. My first day there was the day that the Carnival Dream, the largest Carnival ship ever constructed, dropped 3646 passengers onto Dubrovnik’s streets. It sounds like a lot of people to cram into the narrow streets of the Old Town but Dubrovnik has seen worse like the day when 10,000 passengers caused such gridlock that the police had to be called to keep the foot traffic moving.

Even aside from the cruise passengers, Dubrovnik hotels were doing a nice business and many of Dubrovnik’s restaurants were full. Fortunately for Dubrovnik’s visitors, the weather was gorgeously warm and sunny. The crystal clear Adriatic was also still warm enough to make swimming a delight.
