Location

Enjoy the local area

Known as the Pearl of the Adriatic, Dubrovnik lies at the extreme south of Croatia, basking in glorious Mediterranean sunshine for much of the year. A fairy tale fortress of wonderful Baroque, Gothic and Renaissance churches, aristocratic palaces, red-roofed townhouses, magnificent monasteries and fascinating history, it is almost impossible to feel anything but uplifted and inspired here.

Wander the bustling boutiques, markets and bars; savour freshly caught seafood while gazing out to sea at sunset; walk along the iconic walls, or take a cable car up to Mount Srđ for the most spectacular views of Dubrovnik. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Old Town and its towering walls rise above the 13th-century main street that literally sparkles in the sun. No wonder so many consider Dubrovnik to be such a precious gem. In fact, the origins of the Croatian language and its classic literature can be traced back here, and the city remains an epicentre of culture, art, music and science. All this surrounded by a brilliant-blue seascape, charming beaches and idyllic islands.
