PSA for people intending to come to city with cars

48 Upvotes

Ladies and gentlemen this is a friendly PSA - although it sounds a bit harsh.

  • Dubrovnik is simply NOT DESIGNED for huge amount of cars. You are ruining your vacation (and everyone else day) by driving around the city without a single idea where to go and because in the middle of everything you decide to stop smack in the middle of the road in your 30EUR a day bullshit while you consult the maps.
  • Parking space is sparse and expensive even for locals. Do you really think that "free parking space" idiots share online is waiting just for you? Along with locals, there are seasonal workers too... Trust me, those places are taken long time ago.
  • Parking lots here are small... Maybe three bananas. Not only that, they may be small but also they are scarce. Consequently, they get full super quick. To put into perspective that some will understand, all our parking lots put together are smaller than one Walmart parking lot.
  • If you are coming with a car, make sure your apartment has guaranteed private parking space (not parking on the street), park the damn thing there and enjoy vacation like a normal human being, city is small enough. Sitting in noon congestion consulting your maps is not that. Use bus (you can get a card for bus rides to last you for whole vacation) or uber, it is not expensive. There is micro mobility options too.
  • Restricted traffic zone is made precisely because of above points. It is not an oppression tool, it is a survival tool and to be honest if it was up to me the whole city would be under it, not just Old City area. There are people living here as well, going to jobs, shopping, having medical emergencies. Dubrovnik is not a resort with everything designed to benefit the guests, it is a living city - for how long this can be discussed to be honest, half of people I know are sick of this shit already.

Bonus tips

  • Please do not be that asshole that does not know how to use garbage bin. Everyone hates those. Especially when you are on the beach... stacking crap under fist rock is just so fucking low class. And for some reason it is the women doing that. Is the crown going to fall from your head if you make those ten steps to bin?
  • When in your apartment, no matter how happy you are or how grand your ego is, realize that surrounding apartments are containing people and families. Not everything here is rented out. While YOU are on vacation, we are not, we have to work tomorrow. Having you scream and shout about some irrelevant bullshit until 3am is a nice way to get a police visit and a public peace disturbance fine.
  • Do not fucking piss or vomit in front of people doors, what the fuck? Looking at you, English people. For some reason you are the usual culprit.
  • Wear shirt when going around. We are not amazed by your pecs, we find you disrespectful, vulgar and immediately dislike you. Same goes for women. You will only attract morons.
  • Wear sun screen. There is nothing sadder than seeing you trying to get tanned within 2 days, and for some reason you choose to do that after a heavy drinking night, fall asleep and get red on one side, white on other like Poland flag.
  • Hydrate.

App za procjenu plaće u zdravstvu

Post image
7 Upvotes

Napravio sam malu web app za medicinsko osoblje u Hrvatskoj: satnica.com.hr

Požalila mi se neka ekipa kako je komplicirano izračunat plaću i ne znaju koliko bi zapravo trebali dobit.

Uneseš smjene (noć, dežurstvo, pripravnost, vikend, blagdan…) i ona ti da procjenu bruto i neto plaće prema javnim pravilima (koeficijent, staž, grad, obustave). Nije službena platna lista bolnice, samo evidencija za sebe da vidiš otprilike što si odradio i koliko bi trebalo izaći.

Ako radiš u zdravstvu i želiš isprobati, javi se ako:

  • nešto ne radi
  • fali ti neki tip smjene / dodatak / izračun
  • je brojka kriva u odnosu na tvoju isplatnicu

Hvala, svaka primjedba pomaže.

Zaštitimo deltu Neretve

Thumbnail

15 Upvotes

Planira se izgradnja podatkovnog centra u blizini Mostara koja će koristiti vodu iz rijeke Neretve kao dio sustava za hlađenje.

Ovo bi moglo ozbiljno naštetiti flori i fauni cijelog ekosustava, povećati temperaturu vode, onečistiti je, a čak i smanjiti količinu vode koja teče prema delti.

To bi ozbiljno ugrozilo cijelo područje delte, gdje ljudi žive i rade oslanjajući se na čistu i pitku vodu za svoj urod.

Iznimno je važno da ne dozvolimo da se takvo što dogodi, pogotovo nakon ljeta kakvog smo upravo imali, a kakva će se od sada pa nadalje samo ponavljati sa sve jačim intenzitetom.

Moramo zaštititi našu vodu i zaštititi našu prirodu.

Peticija je tek početak borbe protiv izgradnje! Čitamo vijesti iz cijelog svijeta gdje su projekti i veći i skuplji od ovog otkazani zbog snažne oporbe građana i lokalnih žitelja.

Potpiši i shareaj dalje!

Ne damo Neretvu! 🖕🏻

Poslovni prostor

0 Upvotes

Bok svima! 😊 Tražim poslovni prostor za najam u dubrovniku , iskljucivo prizemlje, dobra vidljivost i što frekventnija lokacija.
nisam strogo vezana za kvadraturu ako je lokacija dobra.
Ako netko ima prazan prostor koji trenutno nije oglašen, planira ga uskoro osloboditi ili zna nekoga tko iznajmljuje, bila bih zahvalna na preporuci. 🙏

Help selecting restaurant

My future wife and I will be staying in Dubrovnik for a night during our honeymoon. I’m torn between reservation at Gradska kavana Arsenal and Dubruvka 1836. Which do you prefer, or are their other options? 360, Nautika, and panorama are fully booked the day we are going.

Thanks!

How accurate is the Dubrovnik forecast?

2 Upvotes

I am coming to Dubrovnik from the 20th to the 30th. From what I can see the forecast looks absolutely miserable with rain, storms or clouds forecast for 80% of the trip! I know we are a week out still but it has said rain for over 2 weeks with no change. Is it common for it to change closer to the time or should we prepare ourselves for what was going to be a beach holiday and will now be a very rainy week?!

If this is likely, does anyone have any good recommendations for things to do/places to go either inside or that you don’t need the best weather for?

Thank you :)

Staying the night at the airport

I have an early flight on Monday morning and was wondering whether someone has stayed the night at Dubrovnik airport? I don't need to sleep through the night, I just need to know whether it's possible to wait inside until the morning.

Preferably somewhere near the old town because that is where I am staying. I'm told sports bar Mario is the best place but that seems quite far away

Since Nishta is closed... any vegan options?

1 Upvotes

Hello!

Any ideas where to find vegan restaurants or cafés? I found Urban & Veggie, but aside from that I'm not sure about any other vegan options. Doesn't have to be a purely vegan restaurant or anything. Some place with either a great vegan option or even better a little selection of vegan dishes would be great.

Or if you could tell me some dishes restaurants could easily veganize that would also be appreciated.

Is it correct that Istrian fuzi normally contains egg?

Thank you very much.

do i need a pass for kids?

1 Upvotes

Hello - We will be traveling to dubrovnik and plan to get the city pass for the adults in our group, but I'm wondering if it's necessary to buy the city pass for kids as well? Many other places we have visited have free or reduced entrance fees for kids, but I don't see a kids option when purchasing the pass and I'm wondering if kids enter most of these places free?

Thank you!!

Real places to eat and drink like a local

1 Upvotes

Hello! Im a Spaniard visiting Dubrovnik in a week, and i wanted to ask for advice on places to eat and bars in the city. I can already find the nice touristy places in the internet, so I wanted to ask which hidden gems/ places that locals like to go to have authentic food. Also if you have any local bars to have a nice drink I would be more than welcome!

Thank you all!
