Dubrovnik

It is a medieval city on the Croatian side of the Adriatic and a trove of historical monuments that were created throughout its thousand-year existence. In the past, it was a medieval City-Republic, and alongside Venice one of the most famous cultural and economical centers on the Mediterranean. Nowadays, it has become the center of modern cultural and tourist events: a city of summer festivals an international parade of top musical and theatrical achievements, a city of museums and galleries and a wonderful place to organise a conference. These values have turned Dubrovnik into a place that offers a rich selection of various experiences and excitement, but also a complete stay in a quiet and calming, mild Mediterranean ambience and wonderful seaside landscapes. WELCOME to Dubrovnik, a city with a thousand year old tradition that offers something for everyone.
