Welcome to Dubrovnik

Welcome to Dubrovnik, also known as the Pearl of the Adriatic – the most famous of all Croatian destinations and dubbed as one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

Dubrovnik is the new shining star of tourism. People from all corners of the globe are drawn to this most unique UNESCO site, the long reigning Croatian hotspot for history, culture and of course, sunshine. With the launch of Total Dubrovnik, we aim to keep you informed of goings on, views and news from the city and the surrounding areas.

In addition to the features one would expect of such a site, we want to up the ante and talk not just about restaurants, accommodation and excursions, but about the people of Dubrovnik, the ins and outs of life here, the good, the bad and the ugly – we want to give you a direct insight into what makes Dubrovnik, Dubrovnik. If you would like to contribute your thoughts, news or photos and videos, why not give us a shout? Please contact us at [email protected]. We aim to be your go to source for everything Dubrovnik, and if you have a feature you would like us to cover, get in touch.
