Dubrovnik is a historic city on the Adriatic Sea coast in the extreme south of Croatia, positioned at the terminal end of the Isthmus of Dubrovnik. It is one of the most prominent tourist destinations on the Adriatic, a seaport and the centre of Dubrovnik-Neretva county. Since 1979, the historic centre of Dubrovnik has been included in the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites.
Today Dubrovnik is a tranquil cultural and tourist centre hosting many musical, art and theater events year round. The annual Dubrovnik Summer Festival is a cultural event when keys of the city are given to artists who entertain Dubrovnik’s population and their guests for entire month with live plays, concerts, and games. Dubrovnik and its surroundings with numerous islands have a lot to offer in touristic activities for younger generations.
The climate along the Dubrovnik Region is a typical Mediterranean with mild, rainy winters and hot and dry summers. However, it is more unique than other Mediterranean climates because of the unusual winds and frequency of thunderstorms.
