By this point I have been to Dubrovnik over 20 times, and am fairly confident that this Dubrovnik guide will be among the most comprehensive you will find!

Dubrovnik to me is synonymous with the word ‘fairytale.’ This place is the closest I have come to actually feeling like I was in another world. The castle-like walled old town with a lasting medieval vibe presents a perfect setting for an adventurous escape. Like most old town areas in Croatia, Old Town Dubrovnik is comprised of spotlessly clean pedestrian passageways with high walls made of smooth light stone. Cars aren’t allowed in this area, and foot traffic crowds the narrow bustling streets during the day and night alike. Locals and visitors enjoy visits to pubs, shops, gelato parlors, and tiny seafood restaurants with tables lining the alleyways along the main street of Old Town, stradun.

There are a few beaches nearby, and even more if you’re willing to get on a bus or even boat to small Lokrum island 10 minutes off the coast. Get there in early July and you might catch their annual Summer Festival, complete with a firework show and traditional Croatian dance rituals.
