The Croatian walled city of Dubrovnik sits on a spur jutting out into the Adriatic Sea, in the far south of the country. One of the most frantic and most popular tourist destinations on the Adriatic coast, Dubrovnik has a flourishing port and is now a prestigious UNESCO International heritage site. Historically a major maritime trading centre, in the Middle Ages this shocking city became the sole Adriatic city-state to rival the might of Venice. Its great periods were in the fifteenth and 16th centuries, and much of the magnificence of those ages remains today.
Called the ‘Pearl of the Adriatic ‘, this interesting city is a center for tourists, with its impressive Old Town bursting with heritage architecture, forts, museums and palaces, their fantastic interiors a testimony to the wealth of the city. Protected still by its traditional city walls, Old Dubrovnik is a perfect destination for history buffs.
Both Catholic and Serbian Orthodox churches and churches tower over the terracotta roofs of the old buildings and, when sight-seeing gets knackering, Dubrovnik’s pebble beaches and warm seas give a chilled change of focus. Of note, tourist information is available at the city’s numerous tourism outlets, with some of the most popular being found at Gruz Harbour, along the Old Town’s Ulica Svetog Dominika, and on the Setaliste Kralja Zvonimira, within the Lapad promontory.
Many appealing family beaches skirt the peninsula, with the hottest being fronted by resort-style hostels and tropical palms. The shore around Dubrovnik comprises a diverse mixture of Adriatic beaches, some sandy, others made of pebbles and small rocks. Positioned on the eastern side of the Old Harbour, Banje Beach is handily close to the action and features great views across the Old Town. Connected by a coastal path, the Lapad beaches are especially tasty, with their fine sand and seafood eateries, while at the Sveti Jakov Beach you can try your hand at jet skiing and other fun water based sports. More information about Dubrovnik Beaches.
Considering its size, the sight-seeing prospects in Dubrovnik are great. When you first arrive in the city, a walking tour of the Old Town comes highly recommended, being controlled by experienced guides and leaving every day from the Latino Club Fuego. If you prefer to explore more at your leisure, then the Pile Gate is a neat place to start, with many places of interest leading off the Placa (Stradun) road and often being of a religious nature. Some of the grandest include the Dubrovnik Cathedral (Katedrala Velike Gospe), St. Blaise’s Church (Cvkva Svetog Vlahe), St. Ignatius Church and Jesuit College (Crkva Svetog Ignacija i Isusovacki Koledz) and St. Saviour Church (Crkva Svetog Spasa). The Jewish Synagogue (Sinagoga) is another noteworthy sight since it is one of Europe’s most historical still in use. At the Sponza Palace (Palaca Sponza) you’ll find an impressive Gothic and Renaissance-style facade, along with a very important collection of manuscripts in the State Archives, with the oldest dating back virtually one thousand years.

Over the years, the city of Dubrovnik has led an engaging and often chequered life, being a major trade centre in the twelfth century and a port city in the fifteenth century, enjoying much prosperity at these times. But disaster struck in 1667, when an overwhelming earthquake virtually destroyed the city, with just the Rector’s Palace and the Sponza Palace managing to remain standing. The city was subsequently reconstructed, although in a more uniform style and with much baroque architecture, and its trading powers quickly vanished. At the beginning of the 1990s, Dubrovnik hit the news reports when it was caught up in the Yugoslavian war and many fine buildings were bombed. Today, all these landmarks have been entirely revived to their former glory.
The fortified city walls enclosing the Old Town add a huge amount of medieval personality, being of grand proportions and originating from the thirtheenth century, although earlier walls were built in the 9th century to protect against barbarian invasions. As you walk round the walls you’ll encounter the fortresses of Bokar, Lovrijenac, Revelin and St. John, whilst enjoying the city and seafront vistas. Other important landmarks worth spotting in Dubrovnik include the City Bell Tower, the Onofrio Fountains, the Orlando Column and the St. Lawrence Fortress (Fort Lovrijenac), which controls the western seafront and during the 11th century prevented the Venetians from gaining power of the city. More information about Dubrovnik Landmarks and Monuments.
Those on vacation in Dubrovnik and trying to find info about its long and eventful history should head to the city’s museums. The Ethnographic Museum (Etnografski Muzej), the Franciscan Priory Museum (Muzej Franjevackog Samostana) and the Maritime Museum (Pomorski Muzej) are 3 of the best, with the latter celebrating the city’s maritime heritage and located inside St. John’s Fortress. At the Dubrovnik Art Gallery (Umjetnicka Galerija) are several examples of fine Croatian art works, accompanied by regular temporary exhibitions. The Museum of Modern Art (Muzej Suvremene Umjetnosti) is another good gallery option for culture buffs, with its bounteous contemporary masterpieces. More info about Dubrovnik Museums and Dubrovnik Art Studios.
The consistent popularity of Dubrovnik as a holiday destination has rippled outwards to the surrounding area, although happily mass tourism has yet to arrive round the area now known as the Dubrovnik Riviera. This Adriatic stretch is lined with attractions and short trip possibilities, with close by Zaton Bay being ideal for jaunts. Also inside comfy reach of the city is Mljet Island, where a lush state park draws visitors. Just a comparatively short ship trip away is the tiny island of Lopud, belonging to the Elaphiti Islands archipelago and famed for its beautiful wonderful beaches, particularly those around the Bay of Sunj. Though too far for a short break to be practical a weekend break to the city of Split is well worth the effort, since Roman remains in Croatia don’t come much more spectacular than its Diocletian’s Palace.
