Understand

Dubrovnik is both a seaport and the centre of the Dubrovnik-Neretva County. Its population was 42,615 inhabitants according to census data from 2011. Dubrovnik is nicknamed "Pearl of the Adriatic". Tourism is the most important industry in Dubrovnik so according to data from 2012, there were 45 hotels:- twelve 5* hotels, nine 4* hotels, twenty two 3* hotels and two 2* hotels.

The city of Dubrovnik (Latin: Ragusa) was built on maritime trade. In the Middle Ages it became the only city-state in the Adriatic to rival [wiki=607d28488d1859e84884914a1b3598bd]Venice[/wiki]. Supported by its wealth and skilled diplomacy, the city achieved a remarkable level of development during the 15th and 16th centuries. Furthermore, Dubrovnik was one of the centres of the development of the Croatian language and literature, home to many notable poets, playwrights, painters, mathematicians, physicists and other scholars.

Today Dubrovnik is the proudest feather in [wiki=560d4c6ff431c86546f3fcec72c748c7]Croatia[/wiki]'s tourist cap, an elite destination and one of the most beautiful towns in the Mediterranean. Dubrovnik used to be an independent republic, surviving mostly on trade. It managed to survive many centuries, with constant threats to its territory, particularly from the mighty Ottoman Empire and [wiki=607d28488d1859e84884914a1b3598bd]Venice[/wiki]. As early as 19th century, it was discovered by celebrities as a place to be seen. George Bernard Shaw once said that "those who seek paradise on Earth should come to Dubrovnik and find it". Royalty, presidents and diplomats have all favoured the city. The late Pope John Paul II was a fan of Dubrovnik and was even made an honorary citizen. Out of the 23 top luxury hotels in Croatia in 2010, a dozen were located in Dubrovnik.

Dubrovnik is steeped in stunning architecture and sculptural detail, and boasts spectacular churches, monasteries, museums, and fountains. A multitude of typical towns and excursions include: The Elaphiti Islands, the attractive town of [wiki=f8226fe17b9470c5d96ecec941116a8f]Cavtat[/wiki],the Konavle valley, [wiki=232307e15637d355a7ac2febf96b4cc2]Mljet[/wiki] Island, [wiki=046cd7a29f12de9e02d63e21cbe233c8]Korčula[/wiki] Island, Ston and Peljesac Peninsula. The neighbouring towns of [wiki=e87174ac7687f387967a32263087cbe6]Kotor[/wiki] and Perast in [wiki=4e92f9d2cdf0b8eb493ae3a19709d121]Montenegro[/wiki] or [wiki=58386bb9fd0c3265d194476814c2c90f]Mostar[/wiki] in [wiki=96a6dd711874d4323dc2d3f932bd2ed3]Bosnia and Herzegovina[/wiki] also make for intrigiuing day trips.

  =====Airport bus transfers=====
  Croatia Airlines operates buses between the airport and the main bus station in Kantafig (HRK35, 45min), which is 2.5km northwest of the Old Town. Taxis from the airport to the centre will cost HRK320. Going to the airport a bus aims to leave the main bus station 2h before each international flight, and costs HRK40. The airport shuttle schedule is different everyday, but there is a shuttle virtually every 30 minutes. Departure times are also displayed in various tourist agencies near Buza Gate or the tourist information office at Pile Gate. The bus passes close to the Old Town en route to the airport and you can board this bus at the bus stop on Petra Kresimira 4 just above the Old Town, by the lower cable car station.
- By train
  
  There is no train to Dubrovnik. A narrow gauge line used to link Dubrovnik to [wiki=45cb61a48b985856d8bf1cb545661858]Sarajevo[/wiki] but was closed in 1976.
  
  The closest rail station is [wiki=8a9e64d86ed12ad40de129bc7f4683b2]Split[/wiki], a 4 hr bus ride from Dubrovnik. From there you can take one of the 2 tilting-trains (ICN) to Zagreb. In the Summer-months 2 Nighttrain link Split with the rest of Croatia (one to Zagreb-Osijek and one to Zagreb-Siófok-Budapest). The railway-station [wiki=6447b909b1fe90bc67b42af1154a47a4]Ploče[/wiki], (less than 2h by bus from Dubrovnik) has been closed since december 2014. From there, you can connect to busses from the Croatian-Railways tot Metkovic. There are no more trains to [wiki=58386bb9fd0c3265d194476814c2c90f]Mostar[/wiki] and [wiki=45cb61a48b985856d8bf1cb545661858]Sarajevo[/wiki].
- By car
  
  The trip from [wiki=8a9e64d86ed12ad40de129bc7f4683b2]Split[/wiki] along the coastal road (Jadranska magistrala or D8) is a beautiful scenic journey through small, quaint villages and other tourist destinations. Just know that in the summer months the trip is likely to take several hours longer than anticipated. What looks like a short trip on a map can take 6h.
  
  A much faster way of simply getting from Split to Dubrovnik by car is to take the A1 highway to Vrgorac and then continue via Staševica, Opuzen and Neum to Dubrovnik. As you have to pass [wiki=1bd10c0fe651403f53a9794fbff43632]Bosnia-Hercegovina[/wiki] at [wiki=36220be5d007f6f94077cb2600f083dd]Neum[/wiki] and therefore leave for the 10 km section EU, especially in high summer there are long traffic jams entering and leaving Bosnia.
- By bus
  
  The main bus station is in Kantafig, near Port Gruz and the Tudjman bridge, 2.5km northwest of the Old Town. Local bus 7 operates between this station and Babin kuk, and bus 1 serves Old Town.
  
  Direct buses run to/from [wiki=b827d268b3e75abe3c4419d959d93998]Zagreb[/wiki] (HRK205-234, 11h, 7 daily), [wiki=36fba6f5c64e116e240dde89b72b4d96]Korcula[/wiki] (HRK100, 3h, 1 daily), [wiki=58386bb9fd0c3265d194476814c2c90f]Mostar[/wiki] (HRK100 or €16, 3h, 2 daily. 10:30 & 15:00 ), [wiki=9aac5369c8253aea8ca4897f5d18d6ae]Orebic[/wiki] (HRK100, 2.5h, 1 daily), [wiki=c2c2749de595f2c9ff8d9f5cac51dfb5]Rijeka[/wiki] (HRK400, 12h, 3 daily), [wiki=45cb61a48b985856d8bf1cb545661858]Sarajevo[/wiki] (HRK160, 5h, 1 daily), [wiki=8a9e64d86ed12ad40de129bc7f4683b2]Split[/wiki] (HRK100-150, 4.5h, 14 daily), [wiki=ccab5b00f924badd2dc5c90deac0214a]Zadar[/wiki] (HRK200, 8h, 7 daily). In the high season, there is also a daily bus leaving at 11:00 going to the [wiki=4e92f9d2cdf0b8eb493ae3a19709d121]Montenegro[/wiki] cities of [wiki=e5c8f82902b1ff0ee6e5cfc96d9d9fff]Herceg Novi[/wiki], [wiki=ddc35f88fa71b6ef142ae61f35364653]Bar[/wiki], [wiki=e87174ac7687f387967a32263087cbe6]Kotor[/wiki], and [wiki=b5b72e7242aae8d0b24a8f016a18e96f]Budva[/wiki]. And at 15:00 to [wiki=103cc0f4e9e4e7e45aa076215b5c7e91]Prijedor[/wiki] and [wiki=e807f25eba3e1387d1576b6de7b34416]Banja Luka[/wiki] (10h) in Bosnia. A one-way trip to Budva costs HRK128, or €15. The return tickets are much cheaper and advisable, just look out for the choice of the bus company.
  
  When coming by bus from Split or cities further north, police officers may board the bus and you may be asked for a valid identity document when crossing the [wiki=36220be5d007f6f94077cb2600f083dd]Neum[/wiki] corridor which belongs to [wiki=96a6dd711874d4323dc2d3f932bd2ed3]Bosnia and Herzegovina[/wiki]. While the bus companies list trip duration of c. 4 h, be prepared for a ride of closer to 5.5-6h, including Bosnian border checks.
  
  When travelling into Montenegro and the Airport sit on the right hand side (not behind driver) for best views, and vice-versa for the return. Travelling to Bosnia, sit on the left hand side (behind the driver) for best views.
  
  A [url=http://www.libertasdubrovnik.com/voznired.pdf]departure listing[/url] for the international bus station is available at the website of the [url=http://www.libertasdubrovnik.hr/]city bus operator[/url]. Further details can be found [url=http://www.autobusni-kolodvor.com/en/bus_transport_company.aspx?p=120]online[/url]
  
  On all intercity buses you pay a separate fee of €2 or HRK10 to the driver for luggage. So keep some change ready.
- By boat
  
  =====Cruise ships=====
  *Many cruise ships come to this port of call, typically docking at the [url=http://www.portdubrovnik.hr/?lan=en&action=port_dubrovnik&kat=101&pdl=101]Port of Dubrovnik[/url] (Port Gruz) across from the main bus station, 2.5km northwest of the walled old town. The easiest and cheapest way to get from the main bus station to the Old Town is by using the local buses number 1, 1A and 1B, which circulate almost constantly. Alternatively, cruise lines usually offer their own shuttle services from the ship to Pile Gate (or somewhere close by) in the Old Town, often for a fee. Some cruise ships anchor offshore just east of the Old Town and tender the passengers directly into the the Old Port. In 2012, over one million passengers visited Dubrovnik by cruise ship - feedback has suggested the sheer volume of day visitors swamping the city from cruise ships are deterring more lucrative overnight/residential visitors from going there and there is talk as of late 2014 of authorities possibly limiting the number of ships permitted to dock in Dubrovnik each day/week as the city struggles to cope, meaning in the future cruises with Dubrovnik on the itinerary may become rarer and more sought after.
  
  =====Ferries=====
  * From [wiki=c2c2749de595f2c9ff8d9f5cac51dfb5]Rijeka[/wiki] [url=http://www.jadrolinija.hr/default.aspx?lang=2]Jadrolinija[/url] ferries run up and down the coast. Calling at [wiki=8a9e64d86ed12ad40de129bc7f4683b2]Split[/wiki], [wiki=cba14287e9efe3aa62ceb4c3e62c8c04]Stari Grad[/wiki], [wiki=046cd7a29f12de9e02d63e21cbe233c8]Korčula[/wiki] and [wiki=4d3bd86df56798d6933164208285a934]Sobra[/wiki] on the way. Journey time is up to 20 hr, so consider getting a cabin. The restaurant serves up some decent food at surprisingly reasonable prices, but bear in mind that the +23% tax is not included on the menu. While the journey is scenic there is nothing in the way of entertainment. Come prepared with a good book or just sit on the deck and watch the Adriatic Sea go by. This is more than enough entertainment for an afternoon.
  
  * From [wiki=0a26395cc43da0729c1b4211ae8cb413]Bari[/wiki] in Italy. The dull engine vibration or the swaying of the boat from high winds are likely to keep you awake. Cabins are strongly recommended. Although you can sit comfortably enough inside with the cheaper deck pass, interior temperature hovers at 60⁰F or below and makes for a chilly night even in the height of summer. Sadly this ferry seems quite overpriced: two adult single tickets plus a noisy, small interior 2-berth cabin costs €168.
Get around
The Old Town can be comparatively difficult to navigate on first appearances, as it really is a warren of little streets. There are however signs at the entrances to many of these streets advertising what businesses, shops, restaurants and accommodation are to be found in that direction.

That being said, some of these signs appear to be either intentionally misleading or woefully out of date. For example, there is no office of any bus company within the Old Town, despite what the signs may say.

The city is completely pedestrianised and easily small enough to get around on foot, some of the streets are a little steep though.
- By bus
  
  If you are not staying in Old Town, it's relatively simple get there by bus, as just about every one leads to the Old Town. However, it might be advisable to get a timetable [http://www.libertasdubrovnik.com/gradski.swf] just in case. It costs 12 kn (just over €1) for tickets bought at any kiosk,or 15 kn bought on the bus; ticket valid for 1 hr. At selected kiosks (including the international bus station) you can purchase a day pass for 30 kn. This pass is valid for 24 hr of unlimited travel on the city bus network, starting from the first validation. The easiest way to get from the Main Bus Station to the Old Town is by using the (mostly modern and A/C equipped) buses number 1A, 1B, 1C which circulate almost constantly. These buses can be boarded from the bus stop just outside the Main Bus Station. Apart from this, there is another bus service which comes inside the bus station and drops you directly at the Old Town. Schedules are available at the information counter of the Main Bus Station.
- Car rental
  
  In the off season, rates can be down by booking in advance. You will get a better rate doing booking online directly. Local companies generally have cheaper rates than the multi-nationals.
  
  * Airport transfers, car, motorbike and scooter rental.

See
Dubrovnik was heavily bombed during the Croatian War of Independence from 1991 to 1995. Almost all of the damage has been repaired; however, if you look closely around the old town, mortar damage in the cobblestone streets and bullet marks in the stone houses are visible.
- Old Town
  
  A slender stone flag staff of the legendary knight. Also known as Orlando's Column. Ever since its foundation in 1950, the Dubrovnik Summer Festival is officially opened by raising a flag carrying the city's motto Libertus on Orlando's staff.
  
  * On top of the tower are the famous 'Zelenci' (The Green Ones), bronze statues which strike the gigantic bell every hour. They have been recently replaced with copies and the originals are in the atrium of the Sponza Palace.
  
  * Gothic Renaissance palace, one of the few buildings that has maintained its form from before the catastrophic 1667 earthquake. Hosts historic archives. Memorial room of defenders. Open 10AM-10PM. 20 kn
  
  * Formerly the palace of the Major Council, now houses a museum dedicated to the city's history.
  
  * An exhibition centre of war and conflict photography. Exhibits change during the season. Stunning images by world renowned photo journalists.
  
  * A convenient starting place for your stroll through the Old Town is the Pile Gate. Before entering the Old Town, Fort Lovrjenac, the first among many sites worth seeing in Dubrovnik, provides a good view of the Old Town and its wall.
  
  * The Stradun (Placa) is the central street of the city of Dubrovnik and is the place where the old city comes to life. During the day, explore the shades of the perpendicular streets and alleys on its sides, and during the night, take walks up and down the Stradun with an ice-cream in hand. The uniform Baroque architecture of the houses in Placa, with shops on the street level and their 'knee-like' entrances, got its present-day form in the restoration of the City taking place after the disastrous earthquake in 1667, when a large number of luxurious Gothic and Renaissance palaces had been destroyed. The architectural design of Placa reveals effective solutions and the business sense of the Dubrovnik Republic in those difficult times. Today, Placa is still the shopping centre and venue of major events.
  
  * In the western (Pile) entrance of the old town, The fountain stairs are nowadays a favourite meeting place for local youth and where both the tourists and pigeons take rest and refresh themselves with cool water.
  
  * The eastern part of the Old Town of Dubrovnik; some cruise ship passengers are tendered to the Old Port.
  
  * The monumental fort rises above 37 m high rock. It changed roles in the course of history. The main purpose of its construction was defense, and the main idea was to protect the freedom of Dubrovnik.

- City walls
  
  Hours: 08:00-17:30. Entrance fee is HRK100 for adults, HRK30 for children. Students (with ID) receive 70% discount. You can pay by credit card, but they do not take euros. Keep your ticket, as it will allow you to enter Fort Lovrijenac (near Pile Gate).
  
  Walk on the walls around the old town, great views. It may be best to visit the walls during the early morning or the late afternoon during mid-summer months as it can become very hot. It takes roughly an hour to walk the entire wall, so make sure that you leave yourself enough time before purchasing a ticket.
  
  Dubrovnik is surrounded by its city walls which are 2km long and famous all around the world. There are 3 entrances: on Stradun by the Pile gate, by Fort Saint John’s and at the Custom’s House gate.
  
  Within the city walls you will see Fort Minceta and Fort Saint John’s on the south-eastern side. Also, within the city walls are Fort Lawrence at Pile and Fort Revelin at Ploce. The main entrance is by the Inner Pile Gates. Minceta Fort is one of the most beautiful cultural attractions in Dubrovnik. It's on the northwest side of the city inside the city walls and was built according to the design of renaissance builder Juraj Dalmatinac. St. Luke’s Tower can be seen by walking along the landward side of the city walls up to Ploce Gate. St. Luke’s Tower has protected the entrance to the Dubrovnik harbour throughout the history of the city.
  
  St. John’s Fort was constructed in the 16th century and it is really worth visiting; on its ground floor you can visit the Aquarium, and on the first and second floors you can visit the Maritime Museum (see below).
  
  Bokar Fort is on the seaward of the city walls. It was designed by Florentine architect Michelozzi in the 15th century.

A permanent Jewish community here was founded at the end of the 15th century following the exodus from Portugal and Spain. The Jewish Ghetto was established in 1546 on Jewish street in the old town of Dubrovnik.The community flourished and included respected doctors, merchants and state representatives. Jews in Dubrovnik enjoyed relative freedom, but there were some restrictions on their activities at certain points in history. The Synagogue is tiny and delightful, with heavy velvet drapes and a richly painted, midnight blue ceiling. The museum contains valuable menorahs and Torah scrolls, alongside information on the history of the Jewish community in Dubrovnik. Entry: 25 kn.

  * Built in 1590, this is a fascinating building in itself, and the exhibits showcase the economic, cultural and spiritual development of Dubrovnik. The folk costumes and textiles give the best flavour of the region where folk culture is still celebrated.
- Beaches
  
  (Lapad Peninsula) A car free, sandy beach area on the Lapad Peninsula, approximately 3.5 km from the old town, where you can relax in the shade of the numerous trees. At the end of a long pedestrianized street full of cafe bars and restaurants you will see many popular pebble beaches known as Lapad beaches. These beaches are really beautiful and well used. Lapad is definitely one of the most beautiful parts of Dubrovnik and you really must visit it. If you take the headland path to the right hand side of Lapad beach, as you look at the Adriatic, you can walk along a charming little coast path with small concrete 'beaches' and ladders into the sea. These were put in during the Tito era and are ideal for one or two sunbathers. Walking further along is an excellent local fish restaurant - ideal for ending the day. The walk back is not particularly well lit, but perfectly safe.
  
  *A well located pebble beach. There's a part with an entrance fee, but also a public part which is always livelier and more relaxed. Great way to beat the heat in the middle of the town. Amazing view to city walls, Old Town Dubrovnik and the island of Lokrum. Beach volleyball, mini football or water polo. You can also enjoy lying on deck chair and having a drink.
  
  *If you want to escape from the beaches which can be crowded during summer, then take a ferry to Lokrum Island. Only 10 minutes by boat and it will cost you 80kn back and forth. Last ferry is at 8pm during summer, with a ferry departing every 30 minutes. You can swim in some indicated spots where you'll find ladders to get into the sea. Or just choose a nice spot on the rocks where you'll be able to swim and enjoy the peacefulness. You can also climb a fort in the northern part of the island for a great view of the city. There is an FKK beach at the southern tip of the island.
- Game of Thrones
  
  One reason Dubrovnik has surged in popularity in recent years, aside from its history and beauty, is its starring role in the HBO TV hit "Game of Thrones" where the Old Town has stood in for 'Kings Landing', 'Qarth' and other fictional places since the show's second season in 2012 (taking over [wiki=f60e2ffdd9301ef702cbe121639f889f]Mdina[/wiki] and other places in [wiki=92468e8a62373add2b9caefddbcf1303]Malta[/wiki] in season one). There are lots of "Thrones" walking tours available and you will easily come across these - seek some out at the Tourist Info centers in the City (e.g. at Pile Gate), however many of the filming locations you will simply stumble across just by wandering around.
  
  Much of the filming took place on the City Walls (with a notable scene from 'Qarth' filmed at the base of the Minceta Tower) and also Fort Lovrijenac and the little beach and pier in the cove below it. Aside from this, seek out the Rector's Palace staircase from 'Qarth' (hint: if you just want to see the staircase, you can view it from the entrance of the palace, and avoid having to pay the expensive 100Kn entrance fee!). A 10min boat ride will take you to Lokrum Island where lots of scenes were filmed, while a day trip down to the Trsteno Arboretum will also look familiar as a number of scenes were filmed there.
  
  At the time of writing (2015), a little shop down Zudioska ulica (or a nearby street) had a replica 'Iron Throne' you can sit on for a picture opportunity for 30kn (or free if you buy some GoT merchandise!). Combine your visit with a trip up to Diocletian's Palace in [wiki=8a9e64d86ed12ad40de129bc7f4683b2]Split[/wiki] and Klis Fortress, and the Old Town and waterfront in [wiki=10009634dd5ceee4c420c58b4710bed8]Sibenik[/wiki] for the true Game of Thrones experience!
- Other
  
  Stradun, Take a walk and enjoy a drink at a cafe on the main thoroughfare of the old town.
  
  *Mount Srđ, For a great view of the town. There is a fortress on top which contains a small museum describing its history. There are several ways up:
  ** Walk up the winding footpath to the fortress and large cross on the hilltop 400 m above Dubrovnik. Walking up from the old town takes about 90 min. There is lack of signature but ask the local (though most of them will still direct you to take the cable car). The path is quite rocky so use suitable footwear. This is the way you could enjoy the best bird eye's view of the sea, old town etc. When you get up to the panoramic terrace, the view is actually not as attractive as what you see along the way when you hike up.
  **Take the new renovated Cable car and you will be from Down station to Mountain Srđ in less then 4 min. Round trip ticket 100 kn - allow an extra 30min-1hr for queuing in the peak season though, with little shade from the summer sun/heat.
  **Go by car via Bosanka village. Follow Jadranska cesta (D8) towards Mlini and drive past Dubrovnik. Turn left to Bosanka village and follow the road up the hill.
  
  * Visit the Fortress Lovrijenac. It was an essential fortification to the defense of the city from both ground and sea attacks. In order to prevent possible mutiny by the commander of the fortress, the walls facing the city are only 60 cm thick compared to those exposed to enemy fire which were 12 m thick. Above the entrance to the fortress is an inscription that says "Non bene pro toto libertas venditur auro" which translates to Freedom is not sold for all the gold in the world. Remember if you have already visited the City Walls to keep your ticket as it also includes entrance here.
Do
See listing for Cafe Buža in the Drinks section.

*Old quarantine hospital serves as a cultural centre for concerts, exhibitions, workshops, theater, film, night clubs and literature. The concert hall/bar is a very cozy place with a decent sound system. Gallery Galeriya Tutunplok is open daily 12PM-9PM. Films and theater showings range from 20-40 kn Concerts cost 40-100 kn. A nightclub is open here from 10PM-4AM and will cost you about 30 kn. Gathers a mostly alternative crowd.

*Swim in the Adriatic Sea below the old wall. In the harbour of the old town, go all around (right) along the wall, beyond the aquarium and there is a pier and some rocks where you can cool down on a hot summer day. Avoid stepping on sea urchins, which are commonly found on rocks in the sea water around Dubrovnik, especially if you are wearing no shoes. These are mostly found in clear water and are easy to spot.
- Sailing and boat trips
  
  Dubrovnik is an excellent starting point for exploring southern Adriatic coast primarily Elaphite islands, Korcula, Pelješac and Mljet. There are many charter agencies where you can charter a sailing or motor yacht which are based in Dubrovnik. Majority of them operate from ACI marina Dubrovnik (42°40,3’ N 18°07,6’ E) which is based in Komolac.
  
  When you charter a yacht through charter agency and arrive to designated marina there are a few things that need to be done. The most important thing is the yacht check in (usually Saturday around 4PM). Take your time doing yacht check in. Familiarize yourself with the chartered yacht and with the yacht equipment.
  
  The rule of thumb is the more time you take for the yacht check in, the less time you will need for the yacht check out. After that you have to do the shopping for the charter vacation.
  
  Don't neglect the grocery shopping because the sea is unpredictable and you don't want to get stuck on the boat without anything to eat or drink. You can do the shopping in a marina however the prices are usually much higher there, or you can order from yacht provisioning services who usually deliver the products to the marina at no extra fee.
  
  * Sea Kayaking Dubrovnik-Pile Bay, Organized guided and individual tours around the island Lokrum.Experience Dubrovnik from a different perspective and have amazing photos of the city walls from a seaside..." email="xadventureseakayaking@gmail.com" Phone="+385 91 786 0755"
  
  *In Jam Yacht Supply, [http://www.jamyachtsupply.com/]. Online provisioning catalog where you can order from a large selection of groceries and other products months in advance and everything you order awaits for you in the marina. This is convenient because it takes the load of you and the things you must do when you arrive at the marina for your sailing holiday.
  
  * Lokrum, Take a ferry to the Island of Lokrum which houses a monastery, a fort with great views of Dubrovnik, botanical gardens and a naturist beach. Preserved as a nature park this small island is reachable in 10 min in boat-time from the old city port. It offers unparalleled serenity, beauty and peace.

Buy

There are many local artisans who specialize in domestic crafts. Popular purchases include: handmade tablecloths, linens, and napkins. Many merchants claim that the necktie was invented in Croatia. Another local specialty is little dolls dressed in local garb.

The Pharmacy, at the Franciscan Monastery creates hand creams and other toiletries based on ancient recipes. The pharmacy is one of the oldest in this part of Europe. It has been operating from the time of its foundation to the present day.

While wandering around the Old Town, you will come across many shops that sell Croatian goods such as wine and textiles.

If you have transport there is a Lidl (German discount supermarket) 5 km east of the Old Town near the village of Čibača - this is where the locals shop to avoid steep Dubrovnik prices.

*Small gallery with unconventional art and cool jewellery design.

*Unique handmade Adriatic coral, pearls, gems and jewellery with certificate of authenticity.

* This is not a regular bicycle repair shop, however the operator of this local garage offers a service.
Eat
There are a wide range of restaurants in the Old Town, mostly offering a very similar menu of local seafood and some meat dishes. The cuisine may not be very imaginative, but it is usually of good quality and very fresh.

Restaurants can be crudely separated into (slightly) cheaper tourist-trap places, and more expensive but first class gastronomic restaurants. There are a few pizzerias, mostly wood-fired and quite acceptable. The Kraš chocolate sold at stores is delicious. Remember that Dubrovnik, more so than the rest of Croatia, is well aware of its status as a tourist hot-spot. Rents for restaurant premises are high and consequently the prices on the menus reflect this.

If you want to save money, it is definitely worth it to get your breakfast and/or lunch from a supermarket instead of a sit-down cafe, which have high markups. Check out Pemo in the Old Town (Antuninska ul. 4). Fresh fruits, drinks, and sandwiches/pastries (cheaper than deli on main street).

Note that in the off peak season of November-March nearly all the top-end restaurants close, leaving only a handful of desperate tourist trap enterprises operating and still charging high prices. You can however still eat well and discounts can be negotiated.

Dubrovnik cuisine is characteristically not very spicy and is famous for traditionalism. Many popular meals are characteristic of Dubrovnik such as zelena menestra (it is the name for many sorts of cabbages and other vegetables with meat), pasticada and the famous delicacy dubrovacka rozata. Dubrovnik fish restaurants are popular.

Many Dubrovnik restaurants offer "hot starters" on the English version of the menu - but these are often large portions akin to "primi" in Italy.
- Budget
  
  Small fast-food seafood place, where you sit at communal high counters. Best known for its octopus hamburgers (44kn) and very cheap compared with other local eateries.
  
  * Traditional Dalmatian kitchen, nice atmosphere, fresh fish every day and only restaurant with local specialities, domestic Smoked ham and Cheese in oil and most wanted dish Baked lamb or veal under the bell "Peka" .
  
  * This is a locals place with really good seafood and house wine.
  
  * Large portions. Really good pizza with fresh ingredients. Best to have a medium pizza for 1 person or large if you are really hungry - a large can be split in half for not that hungry couples. Only pizza is served before 17:00, for pasta or other dishes you will have to wait until 17:00.
  
  * Traditional Dalmatian appetizers and meals, you get your meal in a large black fisherman's style pot.
  
  * Good traditional food served in a small outdoor courtyard. Not really budget, but really nice restaurant with different types of food.

  * Dubrovnik's first and only vegetarian restaurant, with vegan and gluten free options available upon request.
  
  * Nice patisserie / bakery that stays open late. Expensive, but cheaper than those within the city walls.

  * A small Italian style restaurant in the old town with outdoor seating providing a wide variety of pasta.

  * Tasty takeaway joint selling burgers, seafood and even Mexican food. Very cheap prices. Just outside of old town walls.
  
  * Worth the climb for magnificent views over the old town from the restaurants' terrace and presumably taking it's name from an ancient water feature just outside the restaurant (not for the prudish). Grilled fish with vegetables 110 kn, grilled chicken with fries about 70 kn, salads etc. Be prepared to wait for a table with a terrace view as is very popular with locals - alternatively arrive before 8 in the evening to avoid the busiest times. Beware of wasps!
- Mid-range

Drink
The most popular hard alcohol in Croatia is home made rakija. This is a very strong distilled drink made from a variety of fruits. Examples include sljivovica, made from plums, loza, made from grapes, and orahovica, made with walnuts. All are quite strong.

There are many excellent local wines from both the Peljesac Peninsula and Konavle and it is often less expensive than soft drinks like Coca Cola. However, be careful when purchasing wine from unlicensed dealers. Though the price is very attractive with some being as low as 10 kn or €1.5 per litre it can sometimes be of low quality.
- Cafes
  
  There are numerous cafes throughout the Old Town and the entire city with prices varying according to the location (particularly, those located on the Stradun are by far the most expensive but you are paying for the ambiance and people-watching as well). Most cafes serve a wide variety of drinks all day.
  
  *Pleasant cafe close to the city centre. Coffee 22kn, or half price before 1300. Continental breakfast with coffee and fresh orange juice, 50kn. Specialises in hams and cheeses.
- Bars
  
  Walk towards the sea from Stradun near the Ploce gate, and you'll hit a tiny square with outdoor seating by 4 or 5 different pubs, with live music playing, and large cocktail pitchers with very low alcohol content.
  
  * Cheap drinks in expensive Dubrovnik. This is an interesting,local bar with seating in and outside on the city stairs, good music, and FREE WIFI.
  
  * The tables and chairs are set out on the side of the cliff and the beers are served in bottles and plastic cups. You can sunbathe on the rocks or do some cliff-diving but do watch for rocks below. This is lovely in the evening, when the sun is setting and you gaze over at island of Lokrum. Eclectic chilled out music plays unobtrusively in the background. There isn't much in the way of shelter apart from some palm leaves so Buža won’t open in bad weather.
  
  * Look for flashing red and blue lights. This is an interesting, slightly bizarre bar with seating outside on the city stairs, techno music, and may have erotic dancing.
  
  * D'Vino Wine Bar has a selection of over 100 fine domestic and imported wine available by the glass, bottle, and in tasting servings. Largest selection of wines by the glass in Dubrovnik with a very intimate, romantic atmosphere, which is a change of pace from other bars in the city.
  
  * Buzz Bar, Prijeko Street 21 is a newly opened bar, already popular among local people of Dubrovnik. It has great selection of local rakija, wine, beer but also has good coffee in the morning. It is especially nice in hot summer as the street is in shade. On weekends it organizes live music of local entertainers. http://thebuzzbar.wix.com/buzz
  
  * Chill music fills this lounge bar at night, making it a great place to unwind after a full day of sightseeing.
  
  * The palatial yet playful architecture of Onofrio, a stylish art and champagne bar and restaurant built into the fabric of a rare Baroque building situated in the centre of the Old Town, plays host to this season of Nude Noir cocktail lounge Bohemia and laid-back decadence between beginning of June and end of Septembre every day from 22.00 till 04.00. Seductive tunes will be layered through out the night by one of the London's most talented DJ's & Producers, KosmetiQ, to add to the overall sense of pure escape.For those wishing to take their summer sun with a splash of sophisticated decadence, pin Nude Noir Onofrio to your map
