Croatia Airlines and the tourist boards of the city of Dubrovnik and the Dubrovnik-Neretva County officially presented the new Dubrovnik - Stuttgart route yesterday in Stuttgart.
Croatia's most recognizable tourist destination, often called the Pearl of the Adriatic, will be connected by direct flights to the center of the German state of Baden-Württemberg for the first time. The route will be introduced in the 2026 summer flight schedule and will be available on Mondays and Fridays from May 4 to October 23, 2026.
Marija Pavić, Croatia Airlines Sales Manager, emphasized at the presentation that by introducing the direct Dubrovnik-Stuttgart route, we are further strengthening Croatia's connection with one of our most important source markets:
"Germany is traditionally among the leading markets for Croatian tourism, and we are convinced that this new line will enable passengers from the state of Baden-Württemberg to arrive in Dubrovnik and the Dubrovnik-Neretva County even easier and faster. At the same time, we are opening up new travel options to Germany for our passengers from Croatia, and in addition to its tourist and economic significance, this line is particularly important for the numerous Croatians who live and work in Stuttgart and the surrounding area, as it allows them to have better connections with their homeland. In addition to the existing lines from Dubrovnik to Munich and Frankfurt, the new line to Stuttgart will further strengthen the connection of southern Croatia with key European markets."
