The city walls without the cruise crowds, and the Adriatic all to yourself.
Ryanair flies non-stop from London Stansted to Dubrovnik from £30 return this winter. That is less than a return train ticket from London to Brighton at peak time.

The flight leaves Stansted at 15:00 and lands in Dubrovnik at 18:40, and the return leaves at 21:00 and lands back at 22:50, so you get full days at both ends. The fare includes a small under-seat bag only.
💰 How far does your money go?
A pint in London now costs about £6.50. In Dubrovnik, a pint of Karlovačko outside the Old Town costs about £4, a burek from a bakery about £2.50 and a plate of black risotto in a konoba about £15. In winter, hotel prices drop to a fraction of what they cost in August.
☀️ The Weather
Dubrovnik is mild in winter. Expect days of 13°C to 15°C in November and around 12°C in January, with nights of 6°C to 9°C. There are bright, clear days between the rainy ones, and from late November the Old Town fills with lights for the Dubrovnik Winter Festival.
