The Mediterranean gem Dubrovnik is located at the southern tip of Croatia, along the coast of the crystal-clear Adriatic Sea, known as one of the most beautiful and well-preserved historic cities in the Mediterranean.
A city with a history spanning over 1,300 years, Dubrovnik developed as a strong commercial and maritime center, surrounded by impressive stone walls nearly 2 km long, which today are a symbol of the city and part of the UNESCO World Heritage. Above the city rises Mount Srđ, offering a spectacular view of the old town, Lokrum, and the Elaphiti Islands, accessible by a cable car that provides an unforgettable experience.
In the summer, Dubrovnik is extremely lively – a walk along Stradun leads you to numerous restaurants, cafés, galleries, and shops, while nearby attractive beaches such as Banje, Lapad, and Šunj on the island of Lopud await visitors. Major cultural and historical landmarks include the Rector’s Palace, Dubrovnik Cathedral, the Church of St. Blaise, Sponza Palace, and the Franciscan Monastery with one of the oldest pharmacies in Europe.
For lovers of active holidays, kayaking around the city walls, diving, hiking on Mount Srđ, or trips to nearby islands offer plenty of adventure. Dubrovnik also offers a vibrant nightlife and top-notch gastronomy, and a visit should certainly include tasting Dubrovnik specialties such as green menestra, black risotto, and the famous rožata.
