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.
