Tips on travel to Dubrovnik
Over tourism is a big problem in Dubrovnik, but you can avoid the crowd by visiting places in Spring or Autumn. Weather still great, but less people and you can enjoy the place without melting under the sun.

Skip the expensive tours, Dubrovnik is a compact city  and find your own way around very easily. Join Free Dubrovnik Walking Tour. I take free walking tours everywhere and never had a bad one.

Large sections of the most popular TV show on the planet were filmed in Dubrovnik. Don't book  Game of Thrones tour, which will set you back €20-30 per person. All locations are free to access and you can download Game of Thrones Dubrovnik APP which also provides information about all of the Game of Thrones filming locations, includes GPS-navigation Self-Guided tour map.

Dubrovnik packed with a cute restaurants everywhere. They are great to sit down, have a glass of wine and watch people, but don't be tempted to eat in any of them, find a little cafe off the main street. There are plenty of those too. Food half the price and much tastier.

When you order wine, check the price first. Don't just say: "rose please" to the waiter. Choose from the wine list. In one of the restaurants, we ordered a bottle of rose. The waiter shows us a bottle, we said ok, and when the bill arrives, we find out that that bottle was €50. You can imagine the surprised look on our faces. The wine was lovely, but not what we usually would pay. My top budget would be €20.
Dubrovnik very hot in the summer and it's very important to stay hydrated, so you will drink a lot of water. No need to buy single use bottles with water in Dubrovnik. Have a drinking bottle with you and fill it up in many drinking water fountains all over the town. Water very safe to drink, cold and very tasty, I might say. I didn't have any drinking bottles with me, so I bought a one and then fill it up from a fountain. 
Overall, it's saved probably 10 plastic bottles and at list €14. 

I hope everyone will follow this advise whatever they are. We do need to cut down on plastic use to help our planet and it also saves a lot of money.
