Family Vacation in Croatia

Night and the City

Discover the beauty of Dubrovnik while strolling down its cobbled streets and have a drink on the main street, where you can simply sit back and observe the world bustling around you. Head to the beloved local spot, Gradska Kavana Arsenal Restaurant, and you'll instantly feel like you've entered a living piece of history. It is a must-visit spot for anyone wanting to soak up the city's authentic vibe. And then there's the secret garden M'arden – a hidden gem nestled within the ancient city walls. It's the kind of place that whispers tranquility, inviting you to escape the hustle and bustle. As the night falls, the garden transforms into a magical retreat, making it a perfect spot for those seeking a peaceful and enchanting experience. For a different perspective, venture to the famous Buza Bar. With a name translating to "Hole in the Wall," Buza is not just a great bar but a lovely location, offering breathtaking views of incredible scenery at sunset. These three places, each with its unique charm, capture the essence of Dubrovnik in ways that words can only begin to describe.

A Day at the Beach

Dubrovnik is located on the Adriatic, one of the world’s bluest and cleanest seas. Of course, the beaches are fantastic, too. Here are our top picks: Banje Beach is the busiest in the city center but provides some of the best views of the old town and its ramparts. You can chill out on the lounge chairs and exotic bamboo beds or get into some water sports action such as waterskiing, waterboarding, tubing, and the crazy UFO ride. Now, Buza Beach is something else. Tucked under the city walls on rocky ground, it's got a stunning sea view. And the best part? The café there keeps the good times rolling even after the sun goes down. And then there's St. Jacob Beach – it's like a postcard. People say it's one of the most beautiful beaches in Dubrovnik. Climbing up to St. Jacob Beach might involve tackling quite a few stairs, but the view and vibes you get once you're there make it totally worth the effort.
