Dubrovnik

A holiday in Dubrovnik will see you enjoy some of the richest history in Croatia whilst relaxing by the tranquil waters of the Adriatic sea.  Dubrovnik fully deserves its place as a world heritage site and is one of the world’s most magnificent fortified cities.  It has become Croatia’s most sophisticated holiday destination, attracting tourists who wish to experience Dubrovnik  from all over the globe.  Nearly five million people now savour a holiday in Dubrovnik every year.

Dubrovnik’s affluent heritage comes from its previous standing as the capital of the Republic of Ragusa, a maritime republic in what was then known as Dalmatia from the fourteenth to the nineteenth century until conquered by Napoleon in 1808.

F.Tudjman Bridge

Part of the Ottoman Empire, it had a population of around 30,000 people, of whom 5,000 resided within the fortified walls.  The city consists of narrow streets and diminutive squares that are normally bedecked with floral tributes.

Your itinerary, if you want to make the most of your Dubrovnik holiday, should include a tour of the impressive city walls.  The entrance to these ramparts is close to what is known as Pile Gate, and from here you can inspect the towers, facades and round-tiled roofs, including the domes of St Ignatius.  No holiday to Dubrovnik would be complete without a trip to the Savina Monastery, located high up in Herceg Novi. From here you are blessed with a magnificent panorama of the Bay of Kotor.

This Monastery has remained unblemished by time and will soon be one of the best memories of your Dubrovnik vacation once you are home.  After visiting the Monastery you can hurry down to the Lustica Peninsula where you’ll find quaint little fishing villages and untouched olive groves and scrub land.

Accommodation for your holiday in Dubrovnik is really up to you as there are so many choices.  From five-star hotels to cheaper options, private villas and simple guest houses, a little bit of research should be enough to make your Dubrovnik holiday a comfortable one.  Getting there is simplicity itself; Dubrovnik has its own airport located twelve miles south of the city, and is served by most major airlines.

If partying is your thing, then a Dubrovnik holiday will provide you with ample opportunity to do just that.  There are a range of clubs in the city, such as Capitano, Klub Orlando, Factory and EastWest.

There are also many wine bars and enchanting places to enjoy a quiet drink such as Cafe Buža and Casablanca.  When it comes to dining, you’ll find sufficient options to meet any budget, from fine cuisine to traditional eateries.  Dubrovnik cuisine is fish-based with a few other popular meat dishes.  Some restaurant prices can be high, so shop around to find the best deals.

Don’t forget to consider a day trip during your holiday in Dubrovnik.  You can take in a complete tour of Dalmatia which should include a trip to see locals preparing olive oil using centuries-old methods.  How about a tour of the Island of Korcula, the original home of Marco Polo, or a cruise of the Elafiti and Green islands where you can look back and view the glorious city of Dubrovnik from across the sea.

A Dubrovnik holiday really is one where history merges with relaxation.  Book a holiday to Dubrovnik and experience the rich heritage of a beautiful, ancient city with all the modern comforts a holiday-maker has come to expect.
