Only one day in Dubrovnik? It's not too much time
but. . .
If you have two days in Dubrovnik, check out
the following sights:
- Museum of the Orthodox Church
It's a tribute to the Dubrovnik spirit of tolerance that
the Serbian Orthodox Church is still standing. It's not only standing,
it's been renovated and houses an interesting icon collection that
has been amassed from all parts of the Mediterranean.
- The Synagogue
It's the oldest synagogue in Europe, dating from the 15th
century. After Jews were expelled from Spain during the Inquisition,
many sought refuge in Dubrovnik. The Ulica Zudioska (street
of the Jews) was a Jewish ghetto with doors that closed at night.
- Rupe
Ethnographic Museum
In Dubrovnik's former granary you can find out how the
peasant class lived, with many exhibits devoted to rural life.
- Aquarium
Kids love the tanks of morays, seahorses, eels and other
colourful fish but adults may be a bit bored.
- War
Photo Limited
This is definitely an adult experience. The manager
is a renowned photojournalist who has collected first-rate
photos from his colleagues around the world. They are gripping
and beautifully displayed.
- The
Maritime Museum
Dubrovnik's busy fleet was essential to its success and
this museum traces Dubrovnik's nautical history.
And/or take one of the regular ferries to Lokrum
Island, a relaxing wooded paradise just offshore.
If you have more time, Dubrovnik makes
a wonderful base to explore the region. Here are some ideas:
- Mljet
It's an easy day trip whether you go on your own or take
a tour.
- Elafiti Islands
Regular boats connect Dubrovnik with these offshore islands, good
for swimming and strolling.
- Cavtat
This coastal resort, reachable by bus and boat, makes
a pleasant contrast to busy Dubrovnik.
To really squeeze the most out of your stay in Dubrovnik, consider
taking an organised excursion.
