Dubrovnik holidays
Croatia's historic 'Pearl of the Adriatic'
The historic Croatian city of Dubrovnik definitely deserves its ‘Pearl of the Adriatic’ moniker. Its UNESCO-protected old town is a characterful cluster of red-roofed buildings, medieval palaces, cloistered monasteries and a handsome Romanesque cathedral. It’s all wrapped in a series of stone walls, built centuries ago to guard against invaders. The city gazes out over the Adriatic, towards the wooded island of Lokrum.
If you’d like to venture further afield, look to our collection of small ship cruises and escorted tours – Dubrovnik combines well with Montenegro, the Adriatic islands and Split.
Highlights of holidays to Dubrovnik
When it comes to things to do in Dubrovnik, there are countless choices. Just outside the old town walls you can take a cable car to the top of Mount Srđ, offering panoramic views right across the city and out to sea. Ferries regularly cast off from Dubrovnik and the Riviera to nearby islands – the unspoilt Elaphite archipelago is well worth exploring. Inland, the rural landscapes and tradition-rich villages of the Konavle Valley give you a glimpse into local life.
