Dubrovnik

candid Croatia tips

 

Why
Dubrovnik
is special

Dubrovnik Old City is picturesque and lovable. It justly earns its sobriquet, "The Pearl of the Adriatic".


Dubrovnik
tips & insights


When to go

Late summer and especially early fall is the ideal time to be in Dubrovnik.


Accommodations

Those within the city walls are limited, but worth their premium price. Staying in the heart of charming old Dubrovnik enhances your experience.


Beaches

The area has a number of beaches. They can be fun, but unfortunately, they are pebbled, not sandy - and can be crowded during peak tourist periods.


War damage

In 1991, the Old City was shelled over several months during the Balkan conflict.

Destruction
Hundreds of historical buildings were blown apart or seriously damaged.
Restoration
Fortunately, Dubrovnik is now restored to its former appeal thanks to an international effort led by UNESCO.
