Dubrovnik Hotels in Novemb
House Tereza
House Tereza (petilovrijenci 7) is a more comfortable option that still retains a charming, budget character. It offers two-bedroom, self-catering apartment options well within walking distance of the city's museums, churches and restaurants.
Hotel Adria
The Hotel Adria (Radnicka ulica 46) is located just 2.5 kilometres from the Old Town and offers free parking and wifi in all rooms. Its modern bedrooms are equipped with A/C, satellite TV, and most have balconies with exceptional views of the Elafiti Islands. On-site facilities include an aperitif bar, a la carte restaurant, laundry service and garbage.
Villa Allure
For something a bit more upscale, try Villa Allure (frana supila 27). This lovely boutique hotel offers several spacious rooms and a plunge pool. This is a quiet and rustic option within an easy walk from the Old Town.
Dubrovnik Beaches for November
November is the rainiest month in Dubrovnik and also one of the coldest, so it's not recommended to go swimming. You are likely to find the beaches too windy during this time of year, so don't feel bad about heading indoors to a warm tavern or museum.
Babin Kuk Peninsula
If the weather doesn't discourage you, you may have better luck on the Babin Kuk Peninsula, just north of Dubrovnik. This area has several coves and bays that just may offer relaxing seas and picturesque views more so than Old Town. It's just a short taxi ride away and if it starts raining, you can take refuge in one of the district's many hotel restaurants or cafes.
Elaphite Islands
On the peninsula you'll be able to see great vistas of the Elaphite Islands and the island of Daksa. And who knows, you might be able to grab a sun chair at the popular Copacabana or Cava beaches, now deserted of the summer crowds.
Things to do in Dubrovnik in November
Don't feel downhearted by not being able to stretch out on a beach in the sun for days on end! Dubrovnik is a beautiful city and there is still plenty to see, such as the Rector's Palace, which dates from the early middle ages, the Church of Saint Blaise, dedicated to the patron Saint of Dubrovnik, and Orlando's Column, the symbol of the city's freedom.
Sloboda Theatre
Escape from the rain and overcast sky and go to the movies! There are three main cinemas in Dubrovnik, many from all over the world and with subtitles. Try the Sloboda Theatre (Luza 66) on the east end of the Stradun, the 3D Visia Theatre (Poljana Paska Milicevica 4) on the west end, and the Cinestar Theatre in Lapad (masarykov put 3).
The Museum of the Orthodox Church
Or educate yourself at one of the city's many museums. The Museum of the Orthodox Church (od puca 8) displays 77 icons dating from 15th to 19th centuries from all over Croatia, Russia and Greece. Wander out of the city walls to the Church of St. Mary at Dance, built in the 15th century and which now houses two beautiful paintings from the 16th century.
Synagogue Dubrovnik
History lovers might be intrigued by the Synagogue Dubrovnik (zudioska 5), the second oldest functioning one in the whole of Europe. It was established mid-14th century and now houses many historical artefacts from the city's Jewish community.
Modern Art Gallery Dubrovnik
For something a bit more contemporary, the Modern Art Gallery Dubrovnik (frana supila 23) contains four floors and nine rooms which features many works by local artists. Check the schedule for upcoming shows and art events.
Ferries To Islands
The ferries are still in operation even in November, though the frequency of them drops per day. However, you can still hop onboard and take a day trip to any of the nearby islands, such as Split, Brac, Hvar or Lokrum. Hvar is a fun touristy town with beautiful churches and a hillside graveyard. If you'd prefer to avoid any other tourists, head to Brac, well-known for its pine and fig trees. Both islands offer cute cafes and little shops for a lazy afternoon. The wild nature on Kolocep and Sipan are also worth a visitnly about 45 minutes to an hour to Roman and medieval ruins.
Horse/Donkey Riding
If you luck out with a sunny day, head to the hills surrounding the city for some horse- or donkey-riding. Many of the local villages will take you out from their fully equipped stables on day rides through olive groves and vineyards.
Rent a bicycle or hire a taxi to take you out to Cavtat, an attractive village about 30 minutes south of Dubrovnik. The main highlight of the town is its beautiful waterfront walkway lined with ice cream shops and cafes. Another charming area is Babin Kuk peninsula, where you can enjoy a freshly caught meal at one of the dozens of top-notch hotel restaurants.
