Dubrovnik is a historic city on the southern Adriatic coast of Croatia and one of the most renowned travel destinations in the Mediterranean. Known worldwide for its UNESCO-listed Old Town, impressive city walls and rich cultural heritage, Dubrovnik combines centuries of history with stunning natural surroundings. The city has a population of approximately 45,000 inhabitants and is the cultural, educational and economic centre of the Dubrovnik–Neretva County.
The Dubrovnik region extends from the Neretva River valley in the north to the Prevlaka Peninsula in the south, the southernmost point of the Croatian coast. Its diverse geography includes the Pelješac Peninsula, the island of Korčula, the bay of Rijeka dubrovačka, as well as the areas of Župa dubrovačka, Cavtat and Konavle, all offering a blend of coastal landscapes, historic towns and rural traditions.
Off the coast of Dubrovnik lies a beautiful archipelago of islands, including Mljet, Lastovo and Korčula, along with the nearby Elaphite Islands. The Elaphite Islands — Šipan, Lopud, Koločep, Jakljan, Olipa and Daksa — are known for their unspoilt nature, charming villages and clear Adriatic waters, making them popular destinations for day trips and excursions from Dubrovnik.
With its unique combination of history, culture, islands and natural beauty, Dubrovnik offers visitors far more than just a city break, providing an exceptional base for exploring southern Croatia and the wider Adriatic region.
