About Dubrovnik Coast

Text
Around dreamy Dubrovnik and its neighbours, days of sightseeing and island-hopping adventures give way to evenings of waterfront wining and dining. Taking centre stage is Dubrovnik’s swoon-worthy Old Town, with its network of Renaissance and baroque alleys, pretty piazzas and terracotta rooftops all wrapped up in grand stone walls. But out of town, secluded coves, fragrant pine forests and handsome harbours are ripe for exploring. And that’s before we get started on the emerald islands – each one with its own standout scenery, alongside plenty of culture and lots of local cuisine to boot. Fancy venturing further afield? Day trips to Montenegro and Bosnia are even on the cards…

The best of both worlds

A Dubrovnik holiday delivers two getaways in one. Dubrovnik Old Town offers a picturesque city break while peaceful Cavtat is perfect for a relaxing retreat in the sun. And there are many islands to hop across to. Mljet gives you lush green forests and two saltwater lakes to hike around, while the Elaphiti Islands are not to be missed.

Explore more

Dubrovnik lies close to the southern borders of Croatia. That means you’ll be in day trip distance of Montenegro. It’s a stunning country with five national parks and some chic beach resorts. You could just as easily pop across the border to Bosnia & Herzegovina to see stunning Ottoman palaces and deep canyons.

Medieval Dubrovnik

Lord Byron described Dubrovnik Old Town as ‘the pearl of the Adriatic’, and it’s easy to see why. It’s a gem of a city, with terracotta rooftops, medieval walls, cobbled alleyways and a glistening waterfront. Plus, there’s no shortage of stylish boutiques, bar and restaurants, especially down at the harbour.

Eating and drinking (beaches)

Fresh fish and seafood is the focus of much of the cuisine along the coast, perfectly accompanied by a glass or two of Pošip, the light white wine from the island of Korčula. The Italian influence is also strong throughout the region, so you’re never too far away from a pizzeria.

Shopping (beaches)

Visit Dubrovnik’s open-air markets to pick up traditional delicacies like rose liqueur and lavender honey. As well as little boutiques selling handmade red coral jewellery, there’s a good selection of designer shops, and a few malls outside of the centre featuring familiar high-street names.

Nightlife

Dubrovnik’s Old Town comes to life as the sun goes down. Bars and taverns line the cobbled streets, partygoers flock to the clubs around the Pile Gate, and stylish parties light up the beach bars.

The ideal time to visit the Dubrovnik Coast is during the shoulder seasons of April to June and September to October. During these months, the weather is pleasantly warm and sunny, perfect for exploring the Old Town and coastal paths, yet the crowds are significantly thinner than in the peak summer months of July and August. The sea is also warm enough for swimming by early summer.

Absolutely. The most famous is the Old Town of Dubrovnik, which was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1979 due to its well-preserved medieval walls and architecture. Additionally, the Stari Grad Plain on the nearby island of Hvar is also a UNESCO site, though the Old Town itself remains the primary draw for visitors to the Dubrovnik coast.
