Due to magnificent views on medieval Dubrovnik, a walk along its ramparts is a must. In numerous restaurants and taverns you may enjoy specialties of local as well as international cuisine.

But if you are looking for cheap accommodation, locally run private accommodation in Dubrovnik can provide excellent value for money. If you can't find accommodation in town of Dubrovnik, a string of small towns and villages south of Dubrovnik makes a good alternative accommodation choice, especially if you need to be close to the airport.

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, Drziceva 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.
