Not only is Dubrovnik one of the world’s most attractive cities – both in its appearance and its location, it’s probably Europe’s best-preserved historic city.

Hotel Bellevue

In the past, Dubrovnik was a City-Republic, and alongside Venice one of the most famous cultural-economic centers on the Mediterranean.
In more recent times, it has become the center of modern cultural and tourist events: a city of summer festivals – an international parade of top musical and theatrical achievements, a city of museums and galleries.
These values have turned Dubrovnik into a place that offers a rich selection of various experiences and excitement, but also a complete holiday in a quiet and calming, mild Mediterranean ambiance and wonderful seaside landscapes.
