Dubrovnik is a nice town in the far south of Croatia. The old town is a UNESCO world heritage site and nearly overrunned by tourists in the summer months.
There is a ferry to Bari, Italy departing in Dubrovnik. The town is close to the border to Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro.
Hitching Out
NorthMontenegro
South Montenegro
Hitchhiking out of Dubrovnik - which is the last major town in the south of Croatia - does not seem that difficult, although it might require quite some luck. Just climb up to the costline road and hitchhike on the E65 to the South.
Most drivers, though, are heading mainly towards either airport or the small town of Gruda. It is still about 10 km from there to the Montenegro-Croatian border crossing between Herceg-Novi (Montenegro) near Gruda (Croatia). Since the traffic is pretty low on that road - particulary in the late afternoon/evening - you will need some luck to find someone crossing the border and willing to take you. Most probably you will be picked up by some tourists. If you wait considerably long, you will probably need to walk to the border.
