About Dubrovnik
Dubrovnik is a UNESCO World Heritage Site set along Croatia's Adriatic Coast at the foot of Mount Srđ. It is best known for its compact Old Town enclosed by monumental Venetian-built fortifications that form a 2km circuit over terracotta rooftops. The heart of the city centres on the Stradun, a limestone-paved promenade lined with 17th-century baroque buildings and open-air cafes connecting Pile Gate and PloĂće Gate. Beyond its long history as an independent maritime republic, Dubrovnik is famous worldwide as the filming location for King's Landing in Game of Thrones.
When to go
Dubrovnik is at its best in late spring or early autumn for walls, sea and quieter evenings.
The shoulder seasons of May and October offer pleasant weather around 25°C (77°F) with fewer crowds in the Old Town. High summer brings scorching temperatures over 35°C (95°F) and busy cruise-ship crowds, though visitors can escape to the Elafiti islands or Pelješac peninsula wineries. Summer also hosts major events like the Dubrovnik Summer Festival from July 10 through August 25. Alternatively, visiting in winter provides half-price attraction prices alongside cultural traditions like the thousand-year Feast of St Blaise on February 3.
