Our Expert Review of Hotels in Dubrovnik, Croatia

With a proud population of 120,000 and known as the “Pearl of the Adriatic”, Dubrovnik will dazzle even the well-traveled. The Old Town, surrounded by tall ramparts and just two entrances (each leading to the Stradun Promenade), was completed in the 13th century and remains practically unchanged today. This small, vibrant city drips with historical relevance that is reflected in many fine museums, monuments, and gardens. Visitors are delighted to discover the Onofrio Fountain, built in 1438, the gorgeous Baroque church of St. Blaise, lively markets, as well as the pristine beaches that lead to the crystal clear sea.

Dubrovnik also offers travelers a well established Summer Festival, an International Film Festival held in October and numerous hotels, ranging in quality. Here are a few we can recommend.
