 Dubrovnik is situated
in Southern Dalmatia, the most beautiful part of the Adriatic coast. Rich
vegetation, beautiful lakes, rare islands, white pebble beaches and the crystal
clean sea, all make this region to an unforgettable experience for every
visitor.
Dubrovnik Region is characterized by a typical Mediterranean
climate, with mild and wet winters and hot and dry summers. Tourism as a
tradition dates back to over one hundred years ago, with Hotel Imperial being
one of the oldest hotels in Dubrovnik. Dubrovnik is now the administrative seat
of Dubrovnik-Neretva county and while traveling through this region visitors
must take time to explore the harmony between man and nature that is part of
everyday life here. Dubrovnik Region consists of numerous small "jewels" that
are worth visiting, small authentic villages, untouched islands and, of course,
the Old Town of Dubrovnik, the crown jewel of them all.
While staying in Dubrovnik in 1929., George Bernard Shaw
said: "If you want to see heaven on earth, come to
Dubrovnik".
These words are still repeated today. This site
represents our desire to present Dubrovnik and Dubrovnik-Neretva County to our
dear visitors.
