Dubrovnik

Croatia

"Those who seek paradise on earth should come to Dubrovnik”
The moment you see Old Town's stone walls jutting into the azure sea you'll understand what George Bernard Shaw meant.

Dubrovnik offers an unusual blend of modern culture and established tradition. In Old Town you'll find polished limestone streets, a labyrinth of alleyways and breathtaking architecture. Don't miss the baroque cathedral, a centerpiece of Dubrovnik. It's a highlight of Croatian architecture. But Dubrovnik's most stunning feature is the 82-foot-tall city wall. It extends more than a mile. There are many options for music lovers in Dubrovnik. Daily concerts take place all year. In July and August the Dubrovnik Summer Festival features music, theater, and dance. Looking for nightlife? The city's clubs and bars will keep you busy until dawn.

Open-air living is the name of the game in Dubrovnik and that includes dining. Grilled dishes and local seafood are specialties of Croatia. Take a short ferry ride from Old Town to experience the nature reserve on the peaceful island of Lokrum. Here you'll also find a monastery and botanical garden. The islands of Elaphiti and Mljet offer the perfect day trip in a more tranquil setting. Dubrovnik is the ideal base to explore the region. You can travel to surrounding countries, visiting Bosnia or Montenegro either as full-day trips or overnight stops. Try kayaking or horseback riding and make your Adriatic vacation active. Dubrovnik is a great place to start a tour of Croatia. Just choose your next stop: Korcula, Hvar, Split, or Trogir.

Things to do in Dubrovnik

Whether you want to visit some nearby islands, get to know Dubrovnik up close, day trip to nearby Montenegro or Mostar, or indulge in some exercise by bike or sea kayak, we've got plenty of activities for you during your time in Dubrovnik. Learn the old city's history, both distant and recent, with your own expert guide on a private walking tour. Dubrovnik's starring role on HBO takes center stage on the Game of Thrones Tour. We can make all the arrangements for excursions in advance as part of your travel package if you wish. Or if you prefer you can plan it shortly before you arrive, with our Croatia-based trip manager. Alternatively leave it till you meet our City Host when you get to Dubrovnik. It's best to book ahead for private excursions in peak season though, as guides and drivers can be in short supply.

The cable car up to Mount Srd' rewards you with breathtaking views of the Old City of Dubrovnik below.

Frequently Asked Questions about travel to Dubrovnik

At a very minimum we recommend spending 3 days in Dubrovnik, giving you enough time to see the stunning old city with a walking tour and walk its walls as well as appreciate the surroundings, perhaps taking a trip to Lokrum island, or into the countryside of the Konavle area to the south and east of the city.

What are the must-see sights in Dubrovnik?

Read about the unmistakeable Stradun, the Old Town's main street and the impressive city walls that encircle the Old Town and more in our Top Ten Sights in Dubrovnik article.

Is Dubrovnik overrun with cruise ships?

Dubrovnik is certainly a popular stop for cruise ships and there are some days when thousands of day tripping cruise ship passengers visit the old town and this is definitely one of the things to avoid when in Dubrovnik.
