Accessible Dubrovnik
Dubrovnik is a city of open doors, where accessibility is woven into its history and its future, making its treasures easier to experience. While the Old City is often associated with steep steps and stone alleyways, many of its most famous landmarks are located on flat ground, making them far easier to reach for visitors with reduced mobility. From the magnificent Stradun, the wide, smooth-paved main street, to bustling squares, fountains, and many museums, visitors with reduced mobility can enjoy some of Dubrovnik's most iconic sights without the uphill struggle.
Inside the city walls, persons with disabilities can access public and state institutions, while many hotels, private accommodations, museums, and attractions have been adapted to meet modern accessibility standards. The Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary can be reached via a ramp at the southern entrance with the help of a mobile transporter available for rent. The Dubrovnik Cable Car is fully wheelchair accessible, as are the Aquarium, the Museum of Modern Art Dubrovnik, and the Rector's Palace. With assistance, wheelchair users can also visit the Franciscan Monastery and the Sponza Palace exhibition space. There is also a tactile city map for the visually impaired and a detailed scale model of the Old City in Lazareti, offering everyone the chance to feel and understand the city's layout.
For those who want to enjoy the sea, Dubrovnik offers multiple sea access elevators. In town, they are installed at Copacabana and Mandrač, while outside the city they can be found in Veliki and Mali Zaton, as well as on the Elaphite Islands – Koločep and Šipan.
By blending heritage with inclusivity, Dubrovnik ensures that its beauty and culture are not only admired from afar but also truly experienced by all.
