Dubrovnik
Dubrovnik is the city of the unique political and cultural history (the Dubrovnik Republic, the Statute from 1272), of world-famous cultural heritage and beauty (on the UNESCOs List of the World Heritage Sites) and one of the most attractive and popular cities of the Mediterranean.
Dubrovnik is a town, port and a tourist center of the southern Croatian coast. It lies at the foot of the Mount Srd (412 m), in a valley enclosed on the south-west by the Lapad plateau and a smaller reef with the oldest part of Dubrovnik. The town offers outstanding natural beauties, well-preserved cultural and historical heritages, as well as high-quality visitor opportunities, hotels and tourist programs. Its geographical isolation is compensated by the high traffic and communication standards, especially through air traffic and fast hydrofoil boats. Dubrovnik is located on the main road (M2, E65) and the Dubrovnik airport is located in the nearby Cilipi.
Dubrovnik offers individual choice among numerous museums and galleries, which contain the jewels of Croatian heritage. The sightseeing of its monuments requires several days, however, a walk through the main street Stradun, 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 southern Europe, and much more.
Dubrovnik is also famous of high quality hotels, where most of them are situated on the Lapad peninsula and area Ploce, southeastern part of the old town. The hotel complex Dubrava - Babin Kuk on Lapad has all necessary features of this small town. It has a shopping center, a bank, an out-patient department, many restaurants and cafés, and a street called the "New Stradun", which connects all hotels.
Dubrovnik is the city of an outstanding cultural and artistic life. The most important event in the cultural life of the city is the Dubrovnik Summer Festival (10th of July - 25th of August), traditionally held since 1950. Very famous are also Dubrovnik carnival festivities, the so-called Dubrovnik "karnevo" (local variant of the word "carnival"), held ever since the early Middle Ages, when the festivity was brought from the neighboring Italy.
