Dubrovnik Pocket Guide

Dubrovnik Irish Bar

Dubrovnik was beautiful, pretty rainy when I was there, but my main problem was with the Irish Bar, Karaka. I was thrown out of the bar by on one of the other patrons, and the bartender and other worker that evening continued to let him drink well into the morning. I was left with several bruises and not once did the bartender apologize or try to fix the situation, instead him and his coworker just kept flirting with the other 2 girls in the bar.

Insider Tip:Visit Gaffe's Irish Pub instead, the food is delicious, and the management is excellent. Plus they are about 100 fee away from one another.

A city you have to see

Dubrovnik was really nice. The old town was really amassing. Like the movies with the castles. You get a really good idea of how was to live inside a castle. Old buildings , thick stone walls, small narrow roads and lots of other things to discover. I wouldn't image that would be like that but I was really surprised. And I say all of that despite that fact that I was sick at the first days. The only drawback was the high prices.

Insider Tip:Dubrovnik has become main touristc attraction in Croatia so this drives all prices up. I would sugest to visit Dubrovnik an off season period. Spring it would be ideal with the good weather also.

Dubrovnik

It's VERY touristy, Very. And things are extremely overpriced plus if they can all the shop keepers and restaurant owners will rip you off. The town is old and it has character but during the day it is swarming with cruise ship tourists which distract from its charm. A day here is enough.

Dubrovnik

I have been to 20 countries now, and Dubrovnik holds a very special place in my heart. It is simply stunning, architecturally beautiful and a tropical paradise in the summer. One of my most cherished locations on this planet, and highly recommended. Obviously, the secret it out, as tourists flock in droves to the city. Also, you are paying a premium here, and prices are not too cheap. It is an expensive place to be, but worth it! Also, if you are staying in Lapad, you will have to take bus 6.

Insider Tip:There are literally thousands of tourists who descend on the Old Town daily in the summer, especially off the cruise ships. I think there is talk to limit the number of cruise ships that desembark on the island daily, as it is simply too much. I would do all the major sights either early in the morning or later in the afternoon and evening to avoid the massive crush of tourism! Also, if you are staying in Lapad, you will have to take bus 6 to the Old Town, and it is so crowded during the summer (a downside)

Dubrovnik is a beautiful and affordable city

I visited Dubrovnik for four days in August. There are lots of things to do.. sightseeing, shopping and swimming in the beautiful Adriatic sea. It was very hot but didn't feel too humid. Accommodation will be your main expense as things are still affordable in Croatia compared with other Western EU countries. A pizza slice is about one Euro and an ice cream about the same price for instance! I made a boat day trip to three nearby islands and that was about Euro30 including lunch. There aren't really sandy b

Insider Tip:In summer time keep one or two water bottles with you all the time. You can fill them up for free at fountains outside and inside the Old Town. Take the cable car to a lookout point directly over the town for a panoramic view of the city and watch the sun set over the Dalmation islands.
