Town:
Dubrovnik - the city of a unique political and cultural
history (the Dubrovnik Republic, the Statute from 1272),
of world-famous cultural heritage and beauty (inscribed
on the List of World Heritage Sites by UNESCO) - is
one of the most attractive and famous cities of the
Mediterranean. Apart from its outstanding natural beauties
and well-preserved cultural and historical heritage,
Dubrovnik also offers high-quality visitor opportunities.
It is also the city of hotels, of high ecological standards
and tourist programs, and is equally attractive in all
seasons.
The sightseeing of Dubrovnik and its monuments requires
several days. However, already a walk through Stradun,
through narrow streets and small squares, monumental
ramparts and fortresses, provides enough opportunities
to experience the millennial beauty of its shell-shaped
urban core, centuries of building, stone-cutting, carving
and engraving, the history of the Duke's Palace, libraries,
the oldest pharmacy in the south of Europe, etc. Dubrovnik
has a number of churches, monasteries and hotels scattered
all over the town. Its coastal belt is adorned with
several marinas, piers and promenades. Because of a
magnificent view on the mediaeval Dubrovnik, a walk
along the town ramparts is a must for each visitor.
A great number of Dubrovnik restaurants and taverns
offer delicious specialties of local and international
cuisine. Sports and recreational facilities include
playgrounds, courts and requisites for all sports in
the sea and on the ground.
Dubrovnik is the city of an outstanding cultural and
artistic life, characterized by numerous exhibitions
taking place throughout the year. Very famous are also
Dubrovnik carnival festivities, held ever since the
early Middle Ages, when they were brought from the neighboring
Italy.
