Picking up a car directly at the bus station saves time and makes it easy to continue exploring the region. The bus station is well-connected and centrally located near the ferry terminal.

Gruž is Dubrovnik's vibrant harbor district with ferry traffic to the islands of Hvar, Korčula, and Mljet. From the bus station, it's a 5-minute walk to the ferry pier.
