Vacations in Dubrovnik

Why should you book a vacation package to Dubrovnik?

Mixing stunning medieval architecture and a colorful history with easy access to one of Europe's most beautiful coastlines, the Croatian city of Dubrovnik is one of the Mediterranean's finest coastal destinations.

But when you add up drinks, meals, kayak hire, boat tours, museum access, taxis and souvenirs, the cost of visiting Dubrovnik can mount. That's why Dubrovnik vacation packages make so much sense. By combining accommodation and travel, you can leave the surplus for enjoying your trip.

When should you book a vacation package to Dubrovnik?

The peak summer period lasts from around June to September, when temperatures can be extremely hot and the beaches are packed. To take advantage of milder weather and cheaper hotel rates, give October or April a try.
