Dubrovnik, Croatia : accommodation info + apartments
Dubrovnik offers an unusual blend of modern culture and established tradition. Polished marble streets, a labyrinth of alleyways and breathtaking architecture characterize the Old Town. Dubrovnik’s most stunning feature is the 82-foot tall city wall which extends more than a mile. There are many options for music lovers in Dubrovnik; concerts are performed daily and in July and August the Croatian Summer Festival of music, theatre and dance is celebrated. The nightlife is also exciting with plenty of choices to keep you busy until dawn.
Open air living is a way of life in Dubrovnik and that, of course, includes the cuisine. Open fire and grilled dishes are a specialty of the region, as well as fresh seafood caught in local waters. A short ferry ride from the Old Town is a Croatian national park on the island of Lokrum. The surrounding islands of the Elaphiti and Mljet offer the perfect day trip in a more tranquil setting. Dubrovnik serves as the ideal base to explore the region; venture into the surrounding countries of Bosnia or Montenegro, or try active excursions such as kayaking.
