About Dubrovnik
Dubrovnik is a city in southern Croatia fronting the Adriatic Sea. It's known for its distinctive Old Town, encircled with massive stone walls completed in the 16th century. Its well-preserved buildings range from baroque St. Blaise Church to Renaissance Sponza Palace and Gothic Rector’s Palace, now a history museum. Paved with limestone, the pedestrianized Stradun (or Placa) is lined with shops and restaurants. Baroque Dubrovnik Cathedral displays a polyptych (multi-panel painting) by renowned Venetian artist Titian as well as more than 200 gold and silver reliquaries from the 11th–18th centuries. Many of the city's beaches are pebbly, with clear waters. Banje is the main beach, with deck chairs for rent. Late-night bars and beachside clubs are highlights of the city's thriving nightlife scene. An orchestra, modern-art museum, and many art galleries make it a cultural hub, as does the annual Dubrovnik Summer Festival, filling Old Town’s streets with open-air music, theater, and dance shows from July to August.
