Dubrovnik

Dubrovnik , also known as "the Pearl of the Adriatic", is a city on the Adriatic Sea coast in the extreme south of Croatia, positioned at the terminal end of the Isthums of Dubrovnik. It is one of the most prominent tourists destinations on the Adriatic, a seaport and the centre of Dubrovnik-Neretva County. Its population is 43,770 in 2001. In 1979, the city of Dubrovnik joined the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites. The prosperity of the city of Dubrovnik has always been based on maritime trade. In the Middle Ages, as the Republic od Dubrovnik, it became the only eastern Adriatic city-state to rival Venice. Supported by its wealth and skilled diplomacy, the city achieved a remarkable level of development, particularly during the 15th and 16th centuries.

1. The City Wall

(16 reviews)

Dubrovnik, Dalmatia Region, Croatia

The best way to see the old town is to walk along the extraordinary 1940 metres of City Walls! See the forts, towers and turrets of arguably the best city walls in the world. Allow at least ½ hour

2. Old Town Center

(8 reviews)

Dubrovnik, Dalmatia Region, Croatia

Climbing the walls of the old city is just short of breath-taking. Take your energy drink with you, it's over 1.5km's right the way around. And if you are lucky (unlucky) enough to visit on a steamy hot day in the..

Old part of the city on Adriatic sea. Place is full of history, old architecture, museums, nice caffe bars. If you go there, it's impossible to miss it! (Dubrovnik isn't such a big town after all)

1. Joe's Tip on Dubrovnik

Dubrovnik, Dalmatia Region, Croatia

Its easy to see why Shaw described Dubrovnik the Pearl of the Adriatic. It is a beautiful and romantic destination for all you love birds out there!! The old town is amazing, the city walls are great and well worth walking at least once. If you like seafood you'll love Dubrovnik, you can also find an authentic Bosian restaurant that serves up mean kebabs. The people are friendly, the weather is usually great and the architecture is cool. You can take a boat out to Elphite Islands that are very pretty and if you fancy swimming or mountain biking on the Islands it there for you to do. Local beers and wines are quite tasty too!!

Good tip?

Dubrovnik, Dalmatia Region, Croatia

I have been all over Europe and this is by far the most beautiful city I have seen. It is like something out of a Harry Potter Movie. Give yourself at least 2 full days there to explore and enjoy some of Europe's best Gellato in Croatia.
