On the ground, including accommodation and everyday spending, allow about £50 a day at the budget end, around £95 a day mid-range and £275+ for high-end travel. A seven-night mid-range trip, including estimated return travel from London, is best treated as a planning range of £660 to £920 per person. Return travel is modelled at about £70 off-peak, £100 typically and £165 in busy UK travel periods. These are planning estimates rather than live quotes.

What kind of holiday is Dubrovnik?

Dubrovnik is strongest for city breaks, history and culture, and beaches and coastal time. The main settings are coastal scenery and urban settings, and the pace is relaxing.

How flexible is it? Dubrovnik can credibly be planned with a relaxed to active daytime pace, serene to lively evenings and popular to hotspot crowd settings through the choice of area, hotel, activities and timing. The typical version has relaxed days, balanced evenings and a hotspot setting. The quiz selects the closest credible version rather than treating it as one fixed product.
