Review
'I would like to thank you for the wonderful guide to Dubrovnik! I went with two friends and we each bought our own guide books; by the end of day two of our holiday, we were only using this one. The things I found most helpful were the separate map, the suggested itineraries and the wealth of information provided. Ultimately we shaped our days around the advice you give in the book and I must say it is the best money I've ever spent on a guide book. I usually find guide books only useful for history and very major attractions, but with yours I feel we really saw Dubrovnik and its surrounds. For my next travels I know where I'll be coming for a guide book - no questions asked. I'll never bother with another publisher again. Keep up the extremely good work!' - Vicki Murphy

I took this guide with me to Dubrovnik earlier this month. It was really very useful. It tells you all you need to know for a visit to that fascinating city. The excursions suggested are helpful to know about what to do. We were on a package trip where excursions were available so it was useful to know which ones were worth doing as a group or on your own.
It's generally accurate so no real complaints there. One point of interest: there are 3 museums in Dubrovnik - the Franciscan monastery in the city, the ethnographic one in the old Granary high up near the walls and the maritime museum. If you plan to visit all 3 (they are quite interesting) then buy a ticket valid for all 3 at the first one you visit as this will save you a lot of money. Even if you only visit 2 it's worth it.
They are reconstructing the cable car which will take you to the Homeland museum which overlooks the city. No completion date set yet but when it's open it should be a real highlight of a visit to Dubrovnik. The book seems to think it's already up and running - but it isn't. Otherwise this is really quite a helpful guide book for first time visitors.

Super up to date guide book, suitable for a weekend or week stay in Dubrovnik. Cover the main city sites and attractions, with very useful intineraies. Also covers several trips to the surrounding area. Found it invaluable and also includes a handy detached map.
Highly recommend.

This is an excellent guide for anyone visiting the Dubrovnik area. It is great value and small enough to slip into a pocket.
The guided tours were informative without going into too much detail. However, the guide for the tour around the walls of Dubrovnik which is in a clockwise direction is now out of date because they now make you go round in an anticlockwise direction, which makes it rather difficult starting at the finish of the description and finishing at the start.
