There are also several fitness centers with swimming pools, saunas, massage, aerobics, solarium, box gyms, etc. Dubrovnik is famous for quality hotels, most of which are situated on the Lapad peninsula and in the area of Ploce, southeast of the Old Town. The vast majority of visitors stay on this Lapad peninsula which contains most of Dubrovnik's hotels, apartments and other private accommodation. Here's where you'll be closest to Dubrovnik's largest beach. The hotel complex Dubrava - Babin Kuk on Lapad has all the features of a small town. It has a shopping center, bank, an out-patient department, many restaurants and coffee bars, and a street called the 'New Stradun', which connects all of the hotels.
Dubrovnik is the city of an outstanding cultural and artistic life. The most important event is the Dubrovnik Summer Festival (July 10th - August 25th), traditionally held since 1950. It is a theatre, music and folk festival, and since 1956, has been included in the calendar of world festivals, and as such, has become one of the most famous in the world. It takes place on open stages in the town (Gunduliceva Poljana, Držiceva Poljana, Lovrijenac, Revelin), or in beautiful interiors of its buildings (Duke's Palace, cloisters, churches). The repertoire includes works of Croatian and world classics, performed by the leading personalities from Croatia and abroad, including actors, directors, and conductors - several hundreds of which have performed in Dubrovnik so far. An important part of the Festival are performances of local (Lindo, Lado) and foreign folk music ensembles. The artistic life of Dubrovnik is characterized by exhibitions taking place throughout the year.
As elsewhere in Croatia, many apartment owners in Dubrovnik expect you to stay for at least three nights and impose a reservation surcharge of at least 30% if you fall short. On-season you may be expected to stay for seven nights, especially in private accommodation / apartments.
