Where to Leave Your Bags?
One of the most frustrating things about traveling is dragging your luggage around all day, especially if you have a late flight or check-out early. In a city like Dubrovnik, known for its beautiful but steep stone streets and countless stairs, carrying heavy suitcases can turn into a real challenge.
Luckily, luggage storage options in Dubrovnik make it easy to explore the city hands-free. Whether you’re flying, taking a ferry, or hopping on a bus, there are several convenient luggage storage locations to choose from.
Luggage Storage in Dubrovnik’s Old Town
If you’re staying in Dubrovnik’s Old Town, there are a few great options to store your bags. Depending on your travel plans, you can choose the most convenient location.
If You’re Heading to the Airport
For those catching a flight from Dubrovnik Airport, the best luggage storage spot is right across from the bus station next to the cable car. This is where you’ll find stops for buses 8, 5, and 10 (see our guide on public transport in Dubrovnik) and the airport shuttle (Dubrovnik Airport Transfer Guide).
You can drop off your bags in the morning, enjoy your last hours in the city, and then easily grab your transport to the airport without carrying extra weight.
Another option for airport travelers is the luggage storage at Ploče Gate, right next to the Konzum supermarket and the taxi stand. If you’re taking a private transfer or taxi to the airport, it’s best to set your pickup point at Ploče Gate to avoid traffic in the Old Town. We recommend booking with A Transfers Croatia for a hassle-free ride.
If You’re Taking a Ferry or Bus
If your departure is from Dubrovnik’s ferry port or main bus station, it’s more convenient to use luggage storage inside the Old Town, near Stradun (the main street). These locations allow you to quickly grab your bags and walk to Pile Gate, where you’ll find local buses, taxis, and private transfers.
Alternatively, if you’re staying outside the Old Town—especially in Gruž or Lapad—you’ll find lockers near the main bus station and ferry terminal. This is an ideal option if you have a ferry or bus to catch and don’t want to detour back into the Old Town.
Can You Leave Your Luggage at Hotels in Dubrovnik?
Yes! If you’re staying at a hotel in Dubrovnik, most accommodations offer luggage storage services after check-out, allowing you to enjoy your day without carrying your bags. However, Airbnb apartments may not have this option, so it’s best to check in advance with your host.
Final Tips for Luggage Storage in Dubrovnik
- Book your luggage storage online in advance during peak season.
- If staying in the Old Town, choose a storage point near your exit route (Pile or Ploče Gate).
- For bus or ferry departures, consider Gruž luggage storage near the port.
- Use hotel storage if available, especially if you have a late flight.
With luggage storage in Dubrovnik, you can make the most of your time in the city without the burden of heavy bags!
