Welcome
Dubrovnik, in a few days
Dubrovnik means walking the city walls above a sea of red roofs, strolling the Stradun, polished smooth over the centuries, and swimming below the fortifications. The old town is at its best early in the morning, before the cruise ships arrive.

Good to know
Flavours & local habits
🍽️ Worth tasting
- Grilled fish and shellfish, straight off the Adriatic.
- Peka: meat or octopus cooked slowly under a bell covered in embers.
- Cevapi: small grilled sausages, the Balkan staple.
- Istrian truffles, shaved over pasta and eggs.
- Local wine: plavac mali in red, malvazija in white.
⚠️ Best avoided
- Book early for July and August: the coast fills up and the prices climb with it.
- Fish is sold by weight, so ask the price per kilo before you order.
- Check the bill in Dubrovnik for padded extras, bread and cover charges included.
- Do not drive into the old towns: they are pedestrian, and the fines are real.
