A flight to Dubrovnik brings you to the Dalmatian coast of Croatia and one of the most famous cities in the Mediterranean, founded back in the 7th century. Scale the 13th-century city walls of Dubrovnik and wander the marble-paved squares of the Stari Grad (Old Town).
Explore Dubrovnik’s rich past at the Franciscan Monastery and Museum with its ancient pharmacy, cloisters and religious relics. Mix with the locals of Dubrovnik in Luza Square, a popular meeting place.
Take a day trip to Cavtat, a historic port 20km south of Dubrovnik. Or go hiking among the citrus groves, pine forests and beaches of the Elafiti Islands, 15km to the north-west.
Locals in Dubrovnik love their rizot (risotto) and prstaci (seafood). At dinner try the Brodet; delicious mixed seafood stewed with polenta. Local Dalmatian wine is the drink of choice in Dubrovnik, so try the sweet and dark local Malmsy wine. |
