World
Heritage Sites by UNESCO)
- is one of the most attractive and famous
cities of the Mediterranean. Apart from
its outstanding natural beauties and well-preserved
cul-tural and historical heritage, Dubrovnik
also offers high-quality visitor opportunities.
It is also the city of hotels, of high
ecological standards and tourist programs,
and is equally attractive in all seasons.
Its geographical isolation is compensated
by high traffic and communication standards
- especially through air traffic and fast
hydrofoil boats.The tourist development
of Dubrovnik started before the First
World War; quite soon, the exclusiveness
of its attractions made Dubrovnik a powerful
international tourist centre. The sightseeing
of Dubrovnik and its monuments requires
several days. However, already a walk
through Stradun, through narrow streets
and small squares, monumental ramparts
and fortreses, provides enough opportunities
to experience the millennial beauty of
its shell-shaped urban core, centuries
of building, stone-cutting, carving and
engraving, the history of the Duke's Palace,
libraries, the oldest pharmacy in the
south of Europe. |
