A stay in Dubrovnik may well be the highlight
of your Croatian holiday as it is mine. Dubrovnik is Croatia's top
sight, and its most visited
destination (as well it should be) with a wide assortment of hotels from luxury to budget and plenty
of private accommodation.
What to See
George Bernard Shaw baptised Dubrovnik "the
pearl of the Adriatic"
because of its incomparable architectural heritage. The gleaming marble
streets of Dubrovnik are lined with baroque
buildings punctuated by beautifully sculpted Renaissance
fountains and facades. Dubrovnik's walls are the most intact and impressive in the Adriatic and clearly
head the long list of Dubrovnik's
sights. No wonder UNESCO named Dubrovnik a World
Heritage Site! And there's plenty more to see in the Dubrovnik region.
What to Do
But Dubrovnik is more than a fascinating
Old Town with an ancient history.
It's also a first class Adriatic resort. Stretching out from the
historical centre is a network of beaches
to laze away the day in the sun. Offshore, the crystal-clear sea
is littered with wooded islands that make easy day
trips. And the array of cafes, bars and clubs in and
around the Old Town insure that Dubrovnik
at night is never dull. So plunge in!
Travel Tip
Dubrovnik has become a vital
stop on Mediterranean cruises which
is great for the cruising public but not so great if you're trying
to push your way through a narrow street from April to October.
Try to arrange your Dubrovnik sightseeing early in the morning before
the cruise ships discharge passengers or late afternoon after they
return to the mother ship. Read more.
