About Dubrovnik Coast
Image
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.

Beaches

The beaches around the Dubrovnik Coast are pebbly, in the main, and many are blessed with spectacular views of the city. There are a clutch of sand-and-shingle beaches in easy distance from the Old Town. If you crave a really sandy beach, head to the isle of Lopud – it’s home to a curve of powdery golden sand.

Sights

Uncovering the history of Dubrovnik will be a true delight. On every corner you’ll stumble across another piece of the puzzle. There are churches, cathedrals, gardens and more – each offering a unique little insight into Dubrovnik’s colourful past. Don’t forget your camera – there’ll be loads of photo opportunities along the way.

Activities

Sporty types will have loads to choose from in the way of activities. There are plenty of water sports on offer across the coast or if you prefer your feet firmly on dry land then you can’t beat a walk around the Old Town. Its iconic white buildings and orange roofs are instantly recognisable.

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 nearby resorts have their own scenes too, whether you want an elegant nightcap or to dance until the sun comes up.
