Your holiday in Dubrovnik
Soak up some culture by the sea
Croatia is a land of contrasts with an impressive heritage. The north of the country shares many cultural similarities with Central Europe, whilst its coastline feels closer to the Mediterranean. It is a popular destination for holidaymakers looking for a holiday with a bit of variety. The Croatian Riviera boasts around 5,800 kilometres of beaches and coastline, including those of its 1,185 islands, which are surrounded by the blue waters of the Adriatic and offer a wide range of fun seaside activities. Explore Zagreb, the capital and cultural centre of the country, Dubrovnik, the "Pearl of the Adriatic", or Split, the commercial and cultural hub of central Dalmatia. Each of these cities has landscapes as fascinating as their history, and are just waiting to be discovered!
The Pearl of the Adriatic
Dubrovnik, nicknamed the "Pearl of the Adriatic" in southern Croatia, takes you on a journey back in time. With its narrow medieval streets weaving around Baroque churches and Renaissance palaces, the city has an almost Italian feel to it. The magnificent pebbled beaches, lapped by crystal-clear waters, give their summertime visitors a taste of seaside paradise. At the same time, the green mountainous coastline invites you to ventune inland or set sail for the countless charming Dalmatian islands.
