THE CITY
Anna Lurye/Shutterstock.com
Few places in the world master the mix of young
and modern with the medieval and baroque
better than Dubrovnik. The city naturally evolves
around the Old Town which is inside the city
walls.
The Old Town provides a blend of shops, cafés
and bars, a fantastic atmosphere, and some very
beautiful sights as you walk along down the
Stradun. The squares in the Old Town are lined
with bars or restaurants that have outdoor
seating, giving the visitors, as well as the locals,
a chance to relax with a drink in the sunshine.
Outside the city walls, modern Dubrovnik oers
everything you would expect from a
Mediterranean country and gs, lemons, oranges
and peaches are to be found dangling from the
trees in many of the gardens.
The town’s architecture displays very little
evidence from the ‘Siege of Dubrovnik’ in 1992,
during which more than two thousand bombs
were dropped on the town. The only hint of this
is the presence of all the newly tiled roofs in
town.
Dubrovnik is well worth a visit any time of the
year, but, naturally, spring and summer brings
out the best in the city.
