Dubrovnik is beautiful and even stunning in areas. On one side of the city walls you have the sea with beautiful rocky coastline and gorgeoous views of nearby islands. I found the souvenir shops a little expensive ( and everything is "handmade" and some of it is not the best quality) but food is good value especially icecream. There are... More

What a magical place. Surrounded by it's muscular walls and pedestrianised, you'll never go short of things to see, do and taste in Dubrovnik old town. There's a fascinating market stuffed full of local produce every morning in Gundulic Square, behind St Blaise church. Early morning is also the best time to see the Stradun (Placa) before the tourist hordes... More

Watch out for the ice cream shops on Stradun - they ensnare you and drag you in! Otherwise a lovely experience.

My mom and I were on a cruise and Dubrovnik, Croatia was one of the ports. We were on a guided excursion here which was called - Dubrovnik and the Croatian Riviera, so we visited other small towns in addition to Dubrovnik. Beautiful city but very crowded. Dubrovnik was an independent city-state for several centuries, so the Old Town is... More

The streets are like a maze with shops, bars and cafes dotted around. A lovely place to go anytime of day. We had evening meals as well as snacks. Reasonable value.

Fantastic Old Town. One of the most prestine ones I have visited. Quaint little alleyways house phenomenal restaurants. Beautiful old harbour with excellent views. Excellent experience!

George Bernard Shaw was enchanted by this lovely city, and said "those who seek paradise on Earth should come to Dubrovnik." He called it "the pearl of the Adriatic." Dubrovnik truly is a stunning city with its amazing Old Town, which became a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1979. You'll enter Old Town through Pile Square, the former drawbridge and... More

Dubrovnik is a very small medieval town. It nice to visit during your cruise, but this town is overpriced and locals are not as welcoming as in other Croatian towns.
