When to go à DUBROVNIK ?
For most travelers, Dubrovnik is a summer destination. It's easy to see why: the sun shines on this region for more than three months at a time with very few showers. The city comes alive with festivals and fills with tourists. But the rest of the year should not be underestimated! The Mediterranean climate often allows for swimming in spring and autumn, and in winter the Christmas markets give the old town a very special charm.
The Dubrovnik region has a Mediterranean climate with hot summers and a few thunderstorms, and mild weather the rest of the year (rarely below 5° C). Beware, it can rain heavily - sometimes a whole day in a row - in autumn and in winter, the bura (Adriatic wind) can blow strongly. In July-August temperatures range from 22 to 30°C. December, January and February (average of 7 to 15°C) is the low season.
The high tourist season in Dubrovnik is definitely the summer, in July and August. The sun is shining, the sea is warm and the famous Dubrovnik Summer Festival (theater, music festival and folklore), held from July 10 to August 25, enlivens the city. The nightlife is lively. The Dubrovnik Carnival in February is also worth a visit. At this time, we also celebrate St. Blaise (February 3), the patron saint of the city of Dubrovnik. However, a very pleasant climate from the beginning of April to the end of September and some nice days in October allow for stays more than half the year. November is the least suitable month for a stay. It is also during this period that everything is closed. The low tourist season runs from November to the end of March. With temperatures between 7 and 15°C from December to March, winter remains pleasant. Please note that the price of accommodation doubles in July and August compared to the rest of the year.

Discover DUBROVNIK
Croatia's most beautiful historic city! Sheltered by mighty forts and thick ramparts protecting palaces, churches and monasteries, Dubrovnik was an independent republic for centuries. Then, the former Ragusa became the perfect setting for King's Landing in the Game of Thrones series. Despite its sometimes problematic tourist overcrowding, the historic city has retained its prestige. In summer, its theater and music festival remains one of the country's most important cultural events. The "Pearl of the Adriatic" is also a vacation destination, with its beaches, sports and water sports in turquoise waters. The region promises a wealth of discoveries, other beautiful cities to visit (Cavtat, Korčula) and superb archipelagos. You can follow the rivieras, hike in the hinterland, build agro-tourism trails (Konavle plain or Pelješac, where the best Croatian wines are produced).
