About Dubrovnik
Dubrovnik is a coastal city on the southern edge of Croatia, set at the foot of a grizzled mountain overlooking the Adriatic Sea. Famous for its UNESCO-listed Old Town—inscribed in 1979—the destination features a complete 2km circuit of medieval city walls, limestone-paved lanes, and terracotta rooftops. It is widely known for its historical landmarks, fresh local seafood, and use as a filming location for Game of Thrones, alongside cultural events such as the Feast of St Blaise on February 3. While summer brings large crowds from daily cruise ships, visitors seeking a quieter experience often travel during spring or fall.
When to go
Dubrovnik is at its best in late spring or early autumn for walls, sea and quieter evenings.
Dubrovnik experiences its highest temperatures, peak crowds, and top prices during June through August, when major events like the Dubrovnik Summer Festival take over the old town. For warm 25°C (77°F) weather with fewer crowds, the shoulder months of April, May, September, and October are ideal and feature events like October's Good Food Festival. Visitors seeking low-budget travel from November to March can experience attraction entry at up to half price, along with winter celebrations such as the Dubrovnik Winter Festival in December and the Feast of St Blaise on February 3.
