Highlights
Walls of Dubrovnik
They appear to encircle the city, and while they began as a simple Byzantine castle, after numerous additions they came to be considered one of the finest defense systems of the medieval era, as no conqueror ever managed to breach them.
Beaches
Swimming in the shadow of the walls is a unique experience. Swim at the favorite spot on Banje Beach below the Lazareti, or at Buza Beach right beneath the cliffside bars of the walls, while near the main Pile Gate, you'll find Sulici and Danče beaches.
Franciscan Monastery
The Franciscan Monastery was built around 1337 but was completely destroyed in 1667. It was, of course, rebuilt years later in the form we see today. Inside, you will find an ancient pharmacy that opened in 1317. It is the third oldest pharmacy in Europe, but the only one that remains continuously operational to this day.
Main Street (Stradun)
Located between the Pile and Ploče gates, it is a cobblestone pedestrian street. You will see the Large Onofrio's Fountain, the terminus of a 12-kilometer aqueduct built in 1438, Sponza Palace—the old customs house—and the 1444 Bell Tower.

Gastronomic Journey to Dubrovnik
Dubrovnik offers a culinary experience where simplicity meets elegance. In the taverns of the Old Town, you will taste traditional “pašticada” (beef marinated in wine with prunes), fresh mussels in white wine, and black risotto with cuttlefish. Local cheeses, olive oils, and figs take center stage in its dishes, while wines from the Konavle and Pelješac regions serve as the perfect accompaniment to your meal. Dubrovnik’s restaurants combine traditional konoba aesthetics with high gastronomy and Adriatic views. Desserts like “rozata” (Croatian crème caramel) or “arancini” (candied orange peel) bring an elegant, authentic touch to the end of every dining experience.
The Best Time to Visit Dubrovnik
You can visit Dubrovnik all months of the year. However, the most ideal period is during the spring and summer months when the weather is more favorable.
How to Get Around Dubrovnik
Options for Transport to/from the Airport
You can travel to Dubrovnik by air as it has its own airport. Flight tickets can be found year-round from Thessaloniki as well as Athens. Your transfer from the airport to the city center can be made by local buses, taking 30 to 40 minutes (€6), or by taxi, which costs €25–€30 and takes approximately 20 minutes.
However, from Northern Greece there is also the option to travel to Dubrovnik by road as a more budget-friendly, though more time-consuming, alternative.
Public Transport
In Dubrovnik, the main mode of transportation is buses, which will allow you to reach all destinations within the city (ticket cost: €1.50). Naturally, using taxis is also an option, though slightly more expensive.
