Pick the month before the day
Dubrovnik's sampled golden window runs from about 55 min in March to 1 hr 6 min in December. Sunset moves 65° along the horizon between December (239° WSW) and June (304° WNW), so a spot framed for one season can face away from the light in another. June days run 15 hr 18 min; by December they shrink to 9 hr 4 min.

Find the months when sunset faces your spot
Pick the direction your subject faces the sky. Months whose sunset lands within ±10° light up in the table above. Disabled shortcuts have no matching row in this visible mid-month sample.
Each row samples the 15th of the month at these coordinates, so dates near a month boundary can differ from the printed row — around here day length moves up to ~3 min per day in the fastest season. Clock times follow Europe · Zagreb, including any daylight-saving change.

The moon over Dubrovnik is a Full Moon, 99% lit. Treat this as lighting context, not a visibility forecast.
The list supplies map-search starting points, not ranked recommendations. Confirm access, closures, permits, safety, and horizon obstructions yourself before setting out. For the selected date, the mathematical sunset bearing is 254° WSW. If the composition faces differently, use the bearing planner in the month table above to identify sampled months; the result remains a planning aid and does not prove visibility.
In Dubrovnik, the evening golden hour window runs 57 min on the selected date and approaches from 254° WSW. Arrive 15 minutes before its start when that window occurs, then choose a position with an open view toward that bearing. Don't rely on the generic “one hour before sunset” rule here — the real window shifts with the season, so check the computed times for your date.
See the calculation method and limits before relying on the estimate in terrain-sensitive or safety-critical conditions.
