Overview

  • Location

    As the base for your seven-day trip, Dubrovnik’s charming Old Town is a practical starting point for exploring the surrounding area. With beautiful, easily reachable destinations such as the Elaphite Islands, Trsteno Arboretum, the Pelješac peninsula and picturesque Konavle, Dubrovnik offers a perfect blend of urban and natural beauty.

  • Times

    Each day your adventure starts early in the morning, usually around 8:00 am, so you can enjoy the morning calm and make the most of your stay in this lively region. From early-morning walks to evenings under the stars, this itinerary lets you experience the charm of Dubrovnik at every time of day.

  • Duration

    Seven full days of new experiences are a carefully chosen mix of history, culture, culinary delights and outdoor adventures. Whether you are walking through unspoilt nature, enjoying the flavours of local cuisine or exploring centuries of history, an unforgettable experience is guaranteed this week.

  • Age

    This itinerary is suitable for all age groups. Families, couples and solo travellers will all find something for themselves in Dubrovnik’s varied offer, from outdoor adventures to quiet seaside walks and cultural events.

  • Accessibility

    While Dubrovnik’s historic core means many steep steps and stone-paved streets, many locations on this itinerary, such as the Gruž market, the Lapad promenade and most of the Dubrovnik area, are easily accessible to all visitors. However, places such as the city walls and some island trails may require extra effort. Large parts of the historic Old Town are accessible.
