If you’re headed to Croatia’s most popular destinations, then these 10 budget friendly Airbnbs in Dubrovnik will be well suited. Dubrovnik is also known as the pearl of the Adriatic and it certainly is. After spending five nights, I can see just why it’s so popular.
Situated on the ocean with a walled city, the location can’t be beat. Whether you opt to be within the city walls or just outside, there’s plenty to do. We loved staying in an Airbnb during our stay as we could cook when we needed to and we had a ton more room. It was the perfect amount of space for our time in Dubrovnik and we loved having a local’s feel to the time.
Deciding on whether or not to stay within the walls depends entirely on the experience you’d like. The one perk to being within the walls is that you can walk to everything. The con is that trekking in luggage can be pain (some of the streets are very steep!) and it has the potential to be loud. If you stay outside of the city, the perks are often more space for your dollar and a quieter area.
You can take a peak at my Ultimate Dubrovnik Guide for some recommendations on where to go and eat. If you need help on creating an itinerary, take a look at the First-Timer’s 10 Day Itinerary to Croatia. Here’s 10 budget friendly Airbnbs in Dubrovnik for your stay!

PS — Are You Booking a Trip Soon? Use My Booking Checklist!
These are the sites I use most to book my own trips. Using the links below is a great way to support Bon Traveler’s travel journalism at no extra cost to you. If you need help organizing your itinerary, get my free travel itinerary template here.
1. Book Your Accommodations
I use Booking.com for hotels and Airbnb for vacation rentals. They have the biggest inventory and consistently offer the best rates.
2. Book Your Rental Car
Self-driving is the best way to explore most destinations. I use Discover Cars for our rental cars, select full coverage insurance, and opt for a reputable company like Alamo, Hertz, or Sixt.
3. Book Your Tours & Experiences
I use Viator, Airbnb, and Get Your Guide to find the best tours and experiences. They are my favorite tour search engines. I always check all three as their inventory varies depending on the destination.
4. Book Your Private Transfers
For easy, reliable private transfers, I use Welcome Pickups. It’s my go-to for arranging a driver in advance — whether it’s an airport pickup, a hotel-to-hotel transfer, or a day trip. The experience is seamless, with English-speaking drivers and upfront pricing, so you can travel stress-free at every stage of your trip.
5. Get Cell Data for Your Trip
I use Holafly for international cell data. Their unlimited data eSIMs are easy to install, activate instantly on arrival, and let you skip local SIM cards and expensive roaming fees.
6. Don’t Forget Travel Insurance
I never leave the country without travel insurance. It provides comprehensive protection in case anything goes wrong (ie. illness, injury, theft, or cancellations).
My favorite companies that offer the best coverage and rates are:
- World Nomads (best for all-around)
- Safety Wing (best for frequent travelers)
