Croatian

Bathed in the warm glow of the Mediterranean sun, Dubrovnik beckons with its captivating blend of history, romance and natural beauty.

Occupying a spot along Croatia’s Dalmatian coastline, Dubrovnik – also known as the Pearl of the Adriatic – is a popular city break-come-beach holiday destination, delivering a mix of breathtaking architecture and stunning beaches. It’s peppered with centuries-old churches, crumbling fortresses, monasteries and monuments, all balanced out with rugged beaches and scenic islands. Also a magnet for Game of Thrones fans, this ancient city is packed with filming locations and easter eggs galore.

Step into a living fairytale within the UNESCO-protected Old Town, a masterpiece of cobbled streets lined with terracotta rooftops and grand stone architecture, and explore hidden alleyways brimming with charming cafés and artisan shops. Wander through bustling squares brought to life with lively chatter and street performers, or stroll along Stradun – Dubrovnik’s main artery – to peruse local boutiques. Evenings are best spent sipping cocktails at cliffside bars or savouring delectable seafood smorgasbords at waterfront restaurants.

Things to do in Dubrovnik

Things to do in Dubrovnik

Getaways to Dubrovnik are full of intriguing histories, regal rooms and visits to paradise isles.

  • Wander the city walls: For unbeatable views of the city, stroll along the 15th-century battlements, which also double up as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Or delve further into the city’s past by visiting the Lovrijenac Fort, completed in the 11th century and rebuilt after an earthquake in 1667. Perched on a cliff above the sea, the fortress is the setting for the annual performance of Hamlet during the Dubrovnik Festival.
  • Explore palatial residences: Once the seat of the Republic of Ragusa, Gothic-Renaissance-style Rector’s Palace is now filled with fascinating artefacts, paintings, maps and maritime objects. Another fortress worth visiting is Sponza Palace, which houses the Memorial Room of the Dubrovnik Defenders, an exhibition dedicated to the people who defended the city from the Serbian and Montenegrin forces in the early 1990s.
  • Uncover religious sites: Dubrovnik is chock-full of beautiful churches, but some of the most special include the Dominican Monastery, with its striking Romanesque cloisters, and the Franciscan Monastery, home to a library filled with 20,000 books and manuscripts, and the third-oldest pharmacy in the world.
  • Go island-hopping: Hop on over to car-free Lokrum Island for swathes of beaches, botanical gardens and scenic Benedictine monastery. Lopud Island’s white-sand beaches, ruins and churches, and Mljet Island’s national park, natural beauty and unique ecosystems are also a must-see.
  • Play the Game of Thrones: Whether you’re an ally of the Starks, Targaryens or Lannisters, there are a few ways you can turn your trip to Dubrovnik into a full-on Kings Landing adventure. Embark on a guided walking tour around the Old Town’s iconic filming location – like where Cersei did her walk of shame or where Jaime pushed Bran out the window. Take a trip to Lovrijenac Fort, which played the role of the mighty Red Keep, or head over to Lokrum Island – which stood in for the city of Qarth – where you can snap photos of you on the coveted Iron Throne.
Where to stay in Dubrovnik

Where to stay in Dubrovnik

Choosing the perfect neighbourhood for your stay depends on what you’re after, but to help you choose, here are a few of our top picks:

  • Hotels in Dubrovnik Old Town: If you’re a first-time visitor looking to fully immerse yourself in the heart of Dubrovnik’s history and culture, you’ll want to book a hotel in the city’s Old Town, with its narrow, pedestrianised streets lined with shops, restaurants and historical landmarks. The Pucic Palace is a top pick in this part of town, thanks to its convenient location, authentic décor and courtyard dining.
  • Lapad Peninsula: To the west of the Old Town, Lapad – known for its beaches, parks and gardens – is a great option if you’re looking for a more relaxed atmosphere. Adult only Hotel Lapad, overlooking Gruz Harbour, comes complete with historic charm and a large outdoor pool, while 5-star Hotel Dubrovnik Palace boasts stunning views, 3 restaurants and an indulgent spa.
  • Pile: Located just outside of the Old Town walls, a stay in Pile is a great option if you want a perfect balance of being close to the action but also having a bit more peace and quiet. A popular pick here is luxurious Rixos Premium Dubrovnik, which features a high-end spa, great views of the Adriatic Sea and handy all inclusive options.
  • Babin Kuk Peninsula: One of the furthest areas from the Old Town, Babin Kuk offers a luxurious and relaxing atmosphere, as well as an abundance of beaches, golf courses and extensive resorts. As well as multiple pools and a private pebble beach, Valamar Collection Dubrovnik President boasts scenic views along the Dalmatian Coast and ample open-air dining.

Your Dubrovnik questions answered

Is Dubrovnik a beach holiday?

It can be, though we’d typically class Dubrovnik as a best-of-both-worlds city-beach cross, thanks to its wealth of urban attractions, medieval architecture and vibrant bays. While the beaches here are lapped by crystal-clear waters, making them perfect for swimming and water sports, it’s worth noting that most of Dubrovnik’s beaches aren’t of the white, sandy kind – with many carpeted in pebbles. With that said, if you’re willing to hop on a short ferry, you’ll find a few sandy beaches on the nearby Elaphiti islands.
