Dubrovnik
Unique for its impressive medieval forts, churches, monuments and palaces, Dubrovnik is often called the pearl of the Adriatic. More than a thousand-year-old history of Dubrovnik made it a cultural center of Europe. History is present in the entire city, which is both a museum and a picturesque stage where cultural heritage and contemporary life meet.
Dubrovnik Old Town
The City of Dubrovnik is encompassed by two kilometres of fortification walls with several towers and bastions, of which the best known is the Lovrijenac Tower on the west of the City, with an inscription in Latin above the entrance gate to the tower which reads,
"Non bene pro toto libertas venditur auro"
(Liberty should not be sold even at the price of gold).
Magnificent Sunsets
Dubrovnik is an excellent choice for those searching for a challenge and active holiday. Entertainment, recreation, and sports are available all year-round. Enjoy a jeep safari, horseback riding, canoe safari, kayaking, sailing to the Elaphite Islands and a visit to the national park on the Island of Mljet. Do not miss the Island of Lokrum, located about 700 meters away from the old Dubrovnik harbour, also called the island of love. Discover the remains of the 12th century Benedictine Monastery and a walking path to Fort Royal, enjoy a promenade surrounded by peacocks, or sunbathe on the nudist beach.
Beaches
Most of these beaches are in fact very good and offer a lot of additional content to the usual Mediterranean sun experience. The most popular of the Dubrovnik public beaches are Banje, Sunset beach and Copacabana beach.
For those who stay for a longer time in Dubrovnik, a day trip to Lokrum can be an interesting option. Though the island has no beautiful sand beaches, it has a couple of swimming opportunities, a lot of paths to walk along in the woods, the ruins of a castle and those of a monastery and two cafés and a few restaurants. The swimming opportunities are rocky places, but there are facilities that make entering the water pretty easy.
Restaurants
The restaurants of Dubrovnik will be definitely loved by fans of seafood. It’s really hard to find such a variety of fish dishes and exotic delicacies. Please kindly check the Restaurants page for more Info.
The Walls
The Minčeta Tower is on the northwest side of the City, and the RevelinTower is on its east. The walls were built from the 13th century to the 18th century, constantly added to and strengthened, without ever having to be used for the purpose for which they were built, thanks to the skilful diplomacy of Dubrovnik.
Because of its monumental walls and well preserved cultural monuments, Dubrovnik has been included in UNESCO's Register of World Architectural Heritage.
