VISIT LOKRUM ISLAND BEFORE IT CLOSES

Lokrum Island is popular with the locals and tourists for its amazing history, green spaces, and relaxing atmosphere. You can only visit it from April to mid-November (depending on the weather). Since it is only accessible by sea, it is highly dependable on the weather forecasts.

The good news is that the sea temperature in October is 21C and you can still enjoy sea adventures. We highly recommend visiting Lokrum Island with a kayak. This way you will get a chance to explore the amazing caves around the Lokrum island, swim in the Adriatic Sea, and enjoy the island itself.

WALK THE CITY

Walking the city in October is our favorite fall activity. Why? Summer season is over but it is still warm outside. Crowds are much thinner too – meaning short lines and easier access to top attractions. In short, you can take your time and stroll around enjoying the stunning architecture and history. Take a walking tour conducted by local tour guides who have extensive knowledge of the city and learn more about Dubrovnik.
