Such a pretty place, the walled city is just amazing and very clean. I would recommend doing the walk around the wall.

As far as pubs go I didn't think much, we ended up in an Irish pub, which I normally try avoid, but in fairness it had good atmosphere and music. Unless you like Fish and fryed food it can be hard to get something to eat. You will generally find something but quality won't be great, seafood is good though. The beach is a stone beach so little diving shoes are great for getting to the water, you can pick them up cheaply there.close

The old city is amazing, and although the beaches are rocky and the water quite cold, it's possible to get some quality beach time as early as March, whilst London is still shivering in it's boots. Everyday living is reasonably cheap, and it's feasable to eat out each night, although don't expect any variety on the menus. Each restaurant offers the exact same variety of food (mostly seafood, some pasta, and there are a lot of pizzerias) but it's good and it's cheap. We stayed at Villa Miceka which was right near a plethora of restaurants, 150m to the beach, and was practically next door to a big grocery store. The trip to the old town was an easy bus ride - I'd recommend this hostel.close

Dubrovnik has a beautiful old town and it has a great coastline. I was glad to be there in April. Apparently the place is extremely full in the tourist season with day-trippers from the cruise ships and holidaymakers. The prices in restaurants, supermarkets, cafés and bars were higher...more Dubrovnik has a beautiful old town and it has a great coastline. I was glad to be there in April.

There were also ferry rides and museums to visit and I would highly recommend a walk around the city walls and a hike up the top of the mountain around sunset to get the full view of Dubrovnik at night.close

When I caught sight of it from the bus which was whizzing around cliff edges I knew I was in for a treat, it looks amazing! The old town is spectacular, marble everywhere, lots of little cafes/pubs and a good vibe. The real catch point is that it's completely surrounded by water, crystal clear water! If you have a clear sky day you are in for a real treat. Having come from a city in Montenego called Kotor which is 50km south of Dubrovnik (and which I totally LOVE) it had a lot to live up to, and I think it did. It's really touristy and as such it is quite expensive, which was a surprise for me as it's Croatia right? Anywhere on the Adriatic coast is beautiful and Dubrovnik is no exeption.close

Dobrovnik is an incredibly beautiful city and worth a day trip. However it was almost too touristy for me. There were Americans EVERYWHERE and one could see that it was set up for the comfort of these tourist.

Knowing that Dubrovnik is more a summer place than a winter place it is difficult to say for sure on any of these things.

Apart from the old town though there isn't a lot in dubrovnik itself, and the old town can be covered in a day, so unless you plan on going to the islands dont spend too much time here. The place is easy enough to cover on foot provided you dont mind stairs. And I dont think Croatia is as cheap as it used to be. Overall though definitely a place worth checking out.close

The wall walk is worth the money for the views of the Adriatic as well as the town, and the narrow windy streets make you forget you are in the modern world. Team this with a selection of beaches and swimming places, and the amazing colour of the water Dubrovnik has something for everyone!!close

This has to be one of the best places I have ever visited. Culture, people, Old Town is incredible and the history with the war in 91/92...please go if you can, but not too many of you as I would hate this place to change.

Its old city is historic and well preserved, and it's amazing how much it actually functions as a living city and not just as a museum. That said, the waves of tourists pouring off busses into the old city can be overwhelming at times, clogging the Stradun and the city walls. If you go, try to make some time to get out of the old city, or at least away from the main tourist areas.close
