The Perfect Day in Dubrovnik

Dubrovnik may very well be the world's most photogenic city. From ancient walls and azure waters to seafood towers and cliffside haunts, there's something for everyone. Join me as I take you through my perfect day in Dubrovnik!

• Visit the Lovely Gundulić Square Market

  The best way to get to know a new city is to visit the local farmers market. This one is filled with the scent of lavender and honey, and you'll feel like a local as you discover the wares while walking from stall to stall.

• Walk Dubrovnik’s Ancient Walls

  Wondering how to capture the most Instagram-worthy photos of Dubrovnik? Simple: walk the medieval walls surrounding the old town to see the most stunning sights. Go in the morning to avoid the massive crowds!

• Try the Local Cuisine But with a Twist: Restaurant Azur

  Trust me; you'll have plenty of opportunities to sample traditional Dalmatian fare while visiting Croatia. Check out Restaurant Azur, which is known for its inventive Mediterranean menu and Asian and Mexican fusion. Bonus: super cold AC for those blazing hot Dubrovnik days!

• Saunter Down the Stradun, Dubrovnik's Main Street

  Countless cafés, restaurants, boutiques and bars line Dubrovnik's beautiful Stradun. The premier spot for people-watching and a cup of coffee!

• Enjoy a Cold Beverage at a Cliffside Bar

  Buza Bar is a tiny gem of a bar with an overwhelmingly beautiful view. Order a refreshing Radler or a local glass of rosé and view a spectacular sunset.

• Eat All the Seafood at Dalmatino Konoba

  Though the restaurant is slightly hidden, finding it is more than worth it as you'll likely devour the best seafood platter of your life. Finish with the incredibly rich chocolate cake!

• Forget your Fear of Heights and See Dubrovnik via Cable Car

  Take in breathtaking views of Dubrovnik and the neighboring Elaphiti Islands – via the cable car, of course!

• Have Your Gelato and Eat it Too

  Stroll down the Stradun until you find Gossip, a premier destination for some of Dubrovnik's silkiest gelato. The flavor variety will blow you away! Don't forget to snap a photo back on the Stradun for the ultimate summer Instagram post.

• Taste the Amazing Local Wines

  Croatian wines are delightful and Razonoda Wine Bar offers a deep selection. Sip and savor a glass of crisp, dry grk from the island of Korčula as you sample pršut (smoked ham) and sir (cheese). Cheers!

• Catch a Summer Flick, Al Fresco

  Kino Jadran is an open-air cinema operating in Dubrovnik during the summer months. A wonderful way to spend a balmy evening!
