Dubrovnik

"The look and feel of the Greek Islands, the cafe culture of Paris and the romance of Venice"

WELCOME TO DUBROVNIK CROATIA - "PEARL OF THE ADRIATIC"

George Bernard Shaw once said,"If you want to see heaven on earth, come to Dubrovnik."

Yes, it really is that beautiful. Not only will you find this part of the country to be one of the most beautiful places in Croatia, but you’ll also find it to be one of the most beautiful places on Earth. The Old Town (Stari Grad) has the look and feel of the Greek Islands, the Romance of Venice and the café culture of Paris.

Here you’ll find intimate restaurants, great food and wine, friendly locals and beautiful beaches.

When you cross a wooden bridge past the gate towers and enter the 1300 hundred year old walled city you’ll feel like you’ve taken a step back in time.

Almost untouched by the modern world you can almost hear the medieval stone walls whisper stories of a long gone era.

You can take a walk along the top of the walls and no matter where you look you’ll be mesmerized by the panoramic views of the town's red-tiled roofs set against the sparkling blue Adriatic Sea.

Affectionately referred to as the “Pearl of the Adriatic”,Dubrovnik’s World Heritage listed walled city is one the most enchanting places on earth.

So if you’re bit of a romantic, this is definitely a place for you.

BEST BEACHES

No trip to Dubrovnik is complete without a dip in the crystal clear waters of the Adriatic. You can find a great spot for swimming between the hotels and the western side of the Old Town (Stari Grad) walls where you’ll find Acapulco-style cliff diving or take a trip to the nearby island of Lokrum.

DUBROVNIK ACCOMMODATION

As a beautiful town dripping with important historical monuments, Dubrovnik truly lives up to its reputation as the ‘Pearl of the Adriatic’. It’s not, however, one of the cheapest destinations in Europe. If you are prepared to compromise slightly here and there, it needn’t turn out to be too expensive.

ISLAND HOPPING

As if Dubrovnik weren't already offering enough, a group of pristine islands lie less than an hour's boat ride from the city. The Elaphite Islands are known for their beautiful natural scenery and sandy beaches.

HISTORIC DUBROVNIK (FEATURED REVIEWS)

• Inside The City Walls: One can see most of Dubrovnik’s significant buildings by entering the Old Town through the Pile Gate then walking along Stradun, which terminates in Luža Square, and turning right onto Prid Dvorom in order to see the Rector’s Palace and Cathedral...

• A Walking Tour of the "Old Town's" Stone Walls: There’s no better way to appreciate Dubrovnik’s history and architecture than by traversing the beautiful walls that surround the Old Town. The walls offer outstanding views into the Old Town and its red-tiled roofs, the Old Port (and the nearby island of Lokrum), and out to sea, but are also quite a sight unto themselves...
