DUBROVNIK
The City of Dubrovnik is buzzing with life all year around.
The astonishing beauty of the marble clad Old Town is only
to be found within the city walls. It is always full of people in
the squares, in the small alleyways, in the cafes and in the
bars. The clean beaches and the crystal clear blue water
surrounding the city walls of Dubrovnik captivate the visitor
with their charm.

THE CITY#THECITY#
Few places in the world master the mix of
young and modern with the medieval and
baroque better than Dubrovnik. The city
naturally evolves around the Old Town
which is inside the city walls. The Old Town
provides a blend of shops, cafes and 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 which
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 towns 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.
DO & SEE#DOANDSEE#
The City Walls
The whole of the Old Town in Dubrovnik is
surrounded by the city walls which served
as a defence against attack from the sea.
The wall stretches nearly two kilometres
and is as high as 25 meters in places. A
walk on the walls provides the ideal
opportunity to enjoy the medieval and
baroque splendours of the Old Town. Open
daily from 10am to 3pm in winter and 9am
to 7.30pm in summer.
Address: Pile Gate (The entrance to the Old Town)
The Old Town
Stunning buildings and a great atmosphere
makes the Old Town fantastic to wander
around in. The marble clad streets are
some of the most fascinating in the world.
The main street, Stradun, begins with an
old monastery and ends in a great square.
The Dominican Monastery And
Museum
This monastery dates back to 1301 and it
was built by the citizens of Dubrovnik who
were ordered to work on it by the local
authorities. The attached museum contains
an impressive selection of arts from
sixteenth-century Dubrovnik.
Museum is open daily from 9am to 5pm in
the winter and 9am to 6pm in the summer.
Mount Srd
The mountain just north of town provides a
stunning view of the Dubrovnik coastline.

DESTINATION: DUBROVNIK
PUBLISHING DATE: 2008-12-18
As the cable car is no longer running it is
possible to get there by car, or you can
make your way up there walking. A
fantastic view is your reward no matter
how you get there.
The Elaphite Islands
Lovely and unspoiled islands between
Dubrovnik and the Peljesac peninsula.
Kolocep is one of the most attractive to
visit as there is both forest and lovely
sandy beaches available to visitors. Ferry
from Dubrovnik runs 4 times daily in the
summer.
Trsteno
Just outside of town this beautiful
Renaissance garden is perched on a hillside
overlooking the sea. Palm trees, mandarins
and grapefruits grow in this wonderful lush
garden together with 400 year old trees
with some reaching heights of 50 metres.
Particularly well worth visiting on a sunny
day in spring. Open daily from 8am to 3pm
in the winter and 8am to 9pm in the
summer.
EATING#EATING#
Dubrovnik is full of good restaurants and
the small streets inside the Old Town are
packed with them. The culinary standards
are generally quite high and the choice of
food is typically Croatian, as seafood
dishes do have a very high priority. The
Dalmatian ham is of course also one of the
delights and an absolute `must taste
starter dish. The restaurants are open until
11pm or midnight unless otherwise stated.
Konoba Ekvinocijo
Friendly family-run restaurant just south of
the Cathedral. Serves both seafood and
meat dishes in appealing two level
outdoor-only seating.

Fantastic restaurant where the meat dishes

CAFS#CAFES#
The Old Town is full of comfortable and
friendly cafs. Both indoor and outdoor
cafs are nestled in the streets of Stradun,
providing lovely surroundings in which to
watch the daily life. We have mentioned a
couple of the best cafs in the area.
Gradska Kavana

the older generation of locals. A good place
for enjoying a cake, pastry or ice cream.
Occasionally there is somebody playing
piano in the summer.

Dubravka Caf

coffee and a snack and gives the visitor the
chance to plug in.
Address: Prijeko 15
BARS & NIGHTLIFE#BARSANDNIGHTLIFE#
Most of the drinking in Dubrovnik takes
place outdoors for much of the year. Most
of the area behind the Cathedral, Buniceva
poljana, becomes one big outdoor bar in
the spring and summer. The locals tend to
hang out in the area between the Old Town
and Gruz, where a strip of flashy bars have
turned `bana Jelacica into what the locals
call `Bourbon Street.
The nightlife in Dubrovnik is mainly in the
Old Town. The town does not have that
many nightclubs and the Stradun seems to
be the place to be at night. All the shop
canopies roll back and the chairs come out
transforming the street into a processional
of exuberance!
Hard Jazz Caf Trabour
Small and intimate place which extends to
facilitate visitors outdoor as the
temperature rises. Live music on most
summer nights. Drinks are priced
according to the status of performers.
Address: Buniceva Poljana
|
Irish Pub
Reasonably priced beer makes the Irish
Pub and good place to hang out. Very laid
back atmosphere and the best place to
watch midweek football.
Address: Izmedu Polaca 5
Roxy
One of the favourites of `Bourbon Street
with plenty of character. Roxy used to be a
music venue, and it is now displaying their
memorabilia from the past.
Address: Bana Jelacica.
The Latino Club
The most popular club in Dubrovnik.
Interesting, carefully designed interior,
excellent music, reasonable prices, and
pleasant staff makes the Latino Club good
for a return visit.
Address: Brsalje 11
Esperanza
A popular venue that hops based near the
Bus station. The club is famous for hosting
several Croatian pop concerts.
Address: Put Republike 30
Exodus
A well visited club on the Babin Kuk
Peninsula. The dance floor is buzzing when
the DJ plays cutting edge techno and
house music.
Address: Babin Kuk Peninsula
SHOPPING#SHOPPING#
Dubrovniks Old Town offers the best
shopping and plenty of variety for its
visitors. The Stradun itself houses the
oldest pharmacy in the world, and from
there shops fan out in all directions. There
are all sorts of souvenir shops in the
vicinity and other types of retail shops can
be easily found in the streets around
Stradun. In the alleyways you can find
everything you need, such as shoe shops,
jewellery, clothes, bookshops and plenty of
old crafts shops. One of the most
fascinating craft shops is "Ronchi, a hat
making enterprise housed near the market
square, which was established in 1858.
Dubrovnik also has some fine outdoor
markets which are well worth a visit. You
can buy fresh vegetables, fruit, olive oils,
souvenirs and pretty much everything else
you could possibly need. The best market
is in The Old Town at Gunduliceva poljana
square. However, there is also a market
just opposite the bus station at Put
Republike.
There are no large scale shoppingcentres
in Dubrovnik, so target your shopping
passions in and around the Old Town.
