Product Description

Book Description

This old Croatian city is a perfect extended stop-off for travellers exploring Mediterranean Europe by land or sea. Byron’s ‘Pearl of the Adriatic’ - now fully restored to its former glory - has everything for the cultural enthusiast: arguably the best city walls in Europe, Italian architecture, palaces and churches. Bathe in the clear waters of the Adriatic Sea, or take in one of the best views of the city atop the impressive town walls. This guide covers more than just the city; day trips to islands just off Dubrovnik’s peaceful coastline are included for those wishing to retreat from the bustle of the city and indulge in scenic walks and natural history.
• Hotels for all styles and budgets, including accommodation within the city walls
• Recommended restaurants and bars, from the laid back to that place for a special occasion
• Exploring beyond the city, including coastal walks and day trips to the islands
• Practical advice, including getting there and getting around on public transport


From the Author

I’ve had a love affair with Croatia for more than twenty years, ever since I first inter-railed round Europe in 1982 and got stranded in Split for four days, waiting for someone to show up who never showed. It wasn’t difficult to find my way from there to Dubrovnik, or to be entranced forever by the city once I got there.
It wasn’t long before I was hammering at Bradt’s door and clamouring to write about (what was then) Yugoslavia. That book came out in 1989, just in time to be washed away by the war -- I spent 1991 glued to the television set, watching in horror as Dubrovnik was shelled, and had to wait a decade for my second chance to write about it. My guide to Croatia was published in 2003 (with a second edition in 2005), but between these covers I trust you’ll find the most comprehensive, useful and up-to-date city guide to Dubrovnik.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dubrovnik Revisited, 27 April 2005
By A Customer
An absolutely wonderful guide to an absolutely wonderful city! - I had spent countless hours researching countless websites, with varying degrees of success, before discovering the Bradt travel guide for Dubrovnik (and Croatia). "Dubrovnik" not only provides what is almost certainly the most up to date and comprehensive list of hotels, restaurants, things to do and places to see, but it also offers some truly delightful anecdotes about the city and its people. -- A must read for anyone planning to visit the city. And a definite must read for anyone who plans to return.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Guide., 26 Sep 2005
By Steve (Huddersfield, U.K.) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
Like the reader from Lincoln (below), I've just returned from a week in Dubrovnik. However I have to say we found this guide excellent. On the subject of walks, no general guide book can possibly give detailed instructions; Piers Letcher does in any case make clear just how difficult the walk up to Mount Srd is. The maps are as good as you will get in what is a very compact book (just about possible to squeeze into a pocket). Indeed for its size it's full of information. And there are nice touches of humour. Inevitably one does disagree with some opinions, and restaurants/cafes open and close, but the publishers do invite comments to keep the thing up to date.

I also found the Rough Guide to Croatia very useful, but that's a much bigger book. For a handy sized, all-round guide to this glorious city I thoroughly recommend this Bradt Guide.

5.0 out of 5 stars Getting the best from Dubrovnik, 20 Aug 2007
I have been much more than happy with this great little companion - and found it invaluable, eminently portable, reliable, and it led me and my husband to some fascinating, amazing things in the city - Piers Letcher's recommendations never disappointed. I will definitely be buying Bradt guides again and have already recommended them to a number of people. A great new resource!
