Whilst many people say that the best time to visit Croatia is over the summer, the best time to visit Dubrovnik is actually in September or October when the weather will be milder but still sunny, offering the ideal conditions for walking around the city. There will also be far fewer tourists in Dubrovnik at the start of autumn than at the peak of summer, meaning fewer crowds and less hassle when you’re sightseeing.
Whilst Dubrovnik is known for the plentiful attractions within the city streets, one of the best things to do is spend time on one of the city’s many beaches to soak up the sun and take a dip in Croatia’s signature turquoise water. Another thing the city is famous for is its breweries, so we recommend you take part in a tour or at least spend an evening sampling the locally brewed alcohol.
Dubrovnik’s Old Town has got to be top of the list for the best places to go, whether you’re looking at the historic architecture from within the streets or admiring the view from atop the city walls. The Dominican Monastery in the centre of the city is another spot to tick off your sightseeing bucket list, built in the 15th century and home to several outstanding pieces of classic art.
