Holidays to Dubrovnik have a lot to offer the curious traveller. Those looking to be fully immersed in the city’s unspoilt streets of culture and colour should opt to stay within the city walls, and will be utterly spoilt for choice with the range of cosy guesthouses and trendy hotels on offer. The Old Town offers endless intrigue for any culture seeker, as well as a sprinkling of hotels oozing with traditional, Croatian hospitality.

Nature and adventure fans looking to experience the best of Dubrovnik should set up camp along the beautiful Dubrovnik Riviera, which benefit from glorious views of Mount Srd, lush vegetation of Orsula Park and enchanting villages, most prominently the beautiful Plat.

To inject a bit more beach time into your Dubrovnik holiday, head to the Dubrovnik Riviera, a stunningly untouched coastal region of quaint harbours, charming bays and rugged coves. There is a liberal smattering of hotels and guesthouses in this region to choose from, benefitting from proximity to the city itself as well as luxuriously idyllic vistas.

Always bustling with travellers and locals alike, Stradun, the main street, is one of Dubrovnik’s most renowned attractions and stretches across the width of the charming Old Town. The shimmering limestone paving runs through impeccably presented townhouses, vibrant boutiques, traditional restaurants and Romanesque churches. Take a stroll along it and soak up the laid-back atmosphere, kick back in one of the cafes or use it to navigate your way through the labyrinth of backstreets.

Undoubtedly the city’s most striking and unusual feature is the wall that runs around its outer limits and is a must see on any Dubrovnik holidays. Astonishingly preserved, these bricks have withstood eight centuries of history, and bear all the scars to prove it. Taking a leisurely stroll around the wall is the best way to experience the city’s unique character and see the impact of its siege-filled history firsthand. There’s also some stunning sea views to be had while there.

Dubrovnik’s locals are strong believers that fresh is best, resulting in an excellent selection of locally sourced and produced cuisine to get your teeth into. Owing to the nearby coastline, the city’s restaurants serve up a particularly fine variety of freshly caught seafood, which is a must try for any foodie. Eating out on holiday in Dubrovnik is especially enjoyable in the spring and summer months, when local restaurants and cafes throw open their doors to the sun soaked streets, and diners spill out onto the cobbles for some al fresco dining.
