Dubrovnik Tours & Holidays 2023/2024

Join us on a holiday to Dubrovnik

Welcome to Dubrovnik, home to a glorious fortified old town that is considered the most beautiful in the Adriatic, perhaps even in all of Europe.

Appropriately known as the Pearl of the Adriatic, Dubrovnik’s old town is one of those places you have to see to believe. Backed by sweeping limestone cliffs and flanked on three sides by the brilliant blue Adriatic, the old town’s setting is second to none.

The city’s main draw is undoubtedly the UNESCO-protected walled old town, which was settled in the 7th century and has miraculously emerged through the centuries unscathed. Game of Thrones fans will no doubt recognise the old town, which is by far the most beautiful on the Adriatic. The port area of the city, in the north, is also worth exploring, with several bars and restaurants on the waterfront.

The old town is accessible through four dramatic gates, and its cobbled streets are lined with cafés, restaurants, churches and museums, hunched around old squares and fountains. It’s main thoroughfare is paved with marble that has been polished by the feet of millions of visitors over the centuries.

Dubrovnik is located on Croatia’s Adriatic coast and enjoys a Mediterranean climate, with hot, dry summers and average temperatures around 25 to 35°C. Storms and rain are common during summer, and the high temperatures often last until the autumn, albeit with more chance of rain. During winter, temperatures hover around 10°C. It is best to visit during early or late summer (April and May/ August and September) to avoid crowds.
