About Dubrovnik

Few places in the world master the mix of young and modern with the medieval and baroque better than Dubrovnik. The city naturally revolves around the Old Town which is inside the city walls. There, you'll find a blend of shops, cafes, bars, a fantastic atmosphere, and some very beautiful sights as you walk along down the Stradun. The squares in the Old Town are lined with bars or restaurants that have outdoor seating, giving the visitors, as well as the locals, a chance to relax with a drink in the sunshine. Outside the city walls, modern Dubrovnik offers everything you would expect from a Mediterranean country. Figs, lemons, oranges and peaches are to be found dangling from the trees in many of the gardens. The town’s architecture displays very little evidence from the ‘Siege of Dubrovnik’ in 1992, during which more than two thousand bombs were dropped on the town. The only hint of this is the presence of all the newly tiled roofs in town. Dubrovnik is well worth a visit any time of the year, but, naturally, spring and summer brings out the best in the city.
