Step Back In Time
Dubrovnik holidays will find you in a perfectly preserved medieval city, step back in time as you wander the steep, narrow cobbled streets and marble covered squares past gurgling fountains and uncover Dubrovnik's fascinating history. For centuries Dubrovnik has successfully defended itself and the only tell tale battle scars can be seen in the bright orange roof tiles that had to replace the old damaged ones, and the slight shell damage at the entrance to the old town. This walled city has many stories to tell and you can't help but be enthralled by its fierce independence and the locals pride in their captivating city.
The limestone cliffs that stand guard over the city, cobalt blue waters and terracotta roofs create the perfect picture of this UNESCO World Heritage site. There is no better way to view this image than from the medieval city walls that surround the city, look down on the old convents, elegant palaces and quaint churches that compete for breathing space in the seemingly squashed city that glistens before you like a jewel in the sparkling Mediterranean sunshine, perhaps explaining why Lord Byron was once quoted as describing Dubrovnik as "The Pearl of the Adriatic". Explore the charming markets, traditional cafes, art galleries, fascinating museums and perhaps you'll even be lucky enough to coincide your visit with a summer concert. Restaurants on Dubrovnik holidays offer fantastic fish and seafood dishes with local Croatian cuisine complimented by international menus.
