The History of Dubrovnik, Croatia

Dubrovnik is a city in southern Croatia fronting the Adriatic Sea. It’s known for its distinctive Old Town, encircled with massive stone walls completed in the 16th century. Its well-preserved buildings range from baroque St. Blaise Church to Renaissance Sponza Palace and Gothic Rector’s Palace.

Dubrovnik is a must-see and is included on almost all our cruises and tours.

Best Time to Go on a Croatia Cruise

Enjoying a popularity boom in recent years, Croatia is a treasure of the Adriatic coast. The small islands surrounding this Eastern European country lend themselves perfectly to an island hopping holiday that is both relaxing and dazzlingly rich with culture. In fact, Croatia claims more than 1,000 islands (though less than 50 of them are actually inhabited) so there’s no shortage of destination options.

With such an abundance of potential courses in the area, it’s no wonder that cruises are a preferred travel method around Croatia as they allow visitors to see as much of the country as possible on a limited schedule.

Dubrovnik Old Town – when to go..

Predicting visitors. There’s loads of articles online about how Dubrovnik old town can get overcrowded on certain days when the giant cruise ships pull in (not our small cruise ships that hold only 40 people though!).

Now there’s an app for predicting the number of visitors that uses machine learning (the branch of artificial intelligence) to predict the number of people in the Old Town on a given day. This data can be useful to both citizens and tourists to help better plan their visits to the Old Town and work out the best time to go. Give it a try! https://www.dubrovnik-visitors.hr/prediction
