Dubrovnik - the city of a unique political and
cultural history (the Dubrovnik Republic, the
Statute from 1272), of world-famous cultural
heritage and beauty (inscribed on the List of World
Heritage Sites by UNESCO) - is one of the most
attractive and famous cities of the Mediterranean.
Apart from its outstanding natural beauties and
well-preserved cultural and historical heritage,
Dubrovnik also offers high quality visitor
opportunities. It is also the city of hotels, of
high ecological standards and tourist programs, and
is equally attractive in all seasons. Its
geographical isolation is compensated by high
traffic and communication standards - especially
through air traffic and fast hydrofoil boats.
The sightseeing of Dubrovnik and its monuments
requires several days. However, already a walk
through Stradun, through narrow streets and small
squares, monumental ramparts and fortresses, provides
enough opportunities to experience the millennial
beauty of its shell-shaped urban core, centuries of
building, stone-cutting, carving and engraving, the
history of the Duke's Palace, libraries, the oldest
pharmacy in the south of Europe, etc.
Because of a magnificent view on the mediaeval
Dubrovnik, a walk along the town ramparts is a must
for each visitor.
Dubrovnik is the city of an outstanding cultural and
artistic life. The most important event in the
cultural life of the city is the Dubrovnik Summer
Festival (10th of July - 25th of August),
traditionally held since 1950.
Dubrovnik ranks among the sunniest towns of southern
Europe. In July it has 12.4 hours of sunshine a day,
like Alexandria in Egypt. The vegetation is
subtropical and extremely luxuriant (olives,
almonds, citrus fruit, rosemary, laurel, holm oak,
pine, stone pine, cypress).
Dubrovnik has a town port, the port of Gruz and a
marina. The old town port is protected by the
Porporela breakwater; yachts drawing up to 3 m may
dock in it; smaller ships are docked in the cove of
Gornja Bocina. The port of Gruz is a trading port,
situated 2.5 km northwest of the ancient town core
of Dubrovnik. Dubrovnik Marina is located in Komolac,
in the interior part of Rijeka Dubrovacka, about 4
km from the entrance to the port of Gruz. The
Dubrovnik airport is located in Cilipi.
If you choose one way cruise or 14
