Dubrovnik Weather in November

November weather

November feels mild by day, but damp and cloudy. Highs average 17°C and lows 14°C, with rain on 13 days. The wettest days can make the stone lanes slick, and the short daylight leaves less time for long walks.

You can still explore the Old Town, visit the Rector's Palace, or stroll the harbour when skies clear. The City Walls are less appealing in heavy rain or strong wind, so keep those for a dry spell. The sea is cool, and beach time is usually a poor bet.

Events and quieter streets

The Dubrovnik Winter Festival often gets underway toward the end of November, bringing seasonal stalls and events to the Old Town. Dates and activities can vary from year to year. All Saints' Day falls on November 1, though it's worth checking local opening hours around the holiday.

If you hate crowds, you'll find the streets calmer than in summer, when Dubrovnik is at its busiest. November is also a quieter, lower-season time, so rooms and tours can cost less than in peak months. Some seasonal services may run less often, though, and rainy days can disrupt plans.

Make a rainy day work

November gets more rain than October, while December is a little cooler and nearly as wet. Keep your plans flexible: a sunny break suits a walk along Stradun, while a shower is a good excuse to visit the Franciscan Monastery and its cloister.

Travelling with kids? A wet walk on the City Walls can feel long, so save it for clear weather. For a practical Old Town stop, try the monastery museum when rain sets in; it gives you somewhere indoors without leaving the historic centre.
