The City of Dubrovnik is buzzing with life all year around. The astonishing beauty of the marble-clad Old Town is only to be found within the city walls. It is always full of people in the squares, in the small alleyways, in the cafes and in the bars. The clean beaches and the crystal clear blue water surrounding the city walls of Dubrovnik captivate the visitor with their charm.

Few places in the world master the mix of young and modern with the medieval and baroque better than Dubrovnik. The city naturally evolves around the Old Town which is inside the city walls. The Old Town provides a blend of shops, cafes and bars, a fantastic atmosphere, and some very beautiful sights as you walk along down the Stradun. The squares in the Old Town are lined with bars or restaurants which have outdoor seating, giving the visitors, as well as the locals, a chance to relax with a drink in the sunshine. Outside the city walls modern Dubrovnik offers everything you would expect from a Mediterranean country; figs, lemons, oranges and peaches are to be found dangling from the trees in many of the gardens. The town’s architecture displays very little evidence from the ‘Siege of Dubrovnik’ in 1992 during which more than two thousand bombs were dropped on the town. The only hint of this is the presence of all the newly tiled roofs in town. Dubrovnik is well worth a visit any time of the year, but, naturally, spring and summer brings out the best in the city.
