Dubrovnik holidays

Sitting on the shores of the Adriatic Sea in the far south of Croatia, Dubrovnik is one of the most beautiful tourist resorts in the Mediterranean. Known as the ‘Pearl of the Adriatic’, it’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site that has kept its authentic character while offering visitors a fabulous experience.

Once rivalling the mighty Venice, Dubrovnik is and always has been a hugely important maritime trade centre. With a rich cultural heritage that was kickstarted in the Renaissance period, today its harbour is lined with exclusive cafés and restaurants, while its Old Town is packed with cobblestone streets and bristling towers, palaces and squares. A package holiday to Dubrovnik with Qatar Airways Holidays transports you back in time to a period when art, culture and mathematics were all the rage, while still giving you that 21st-century experience complete with luxury accommodation and award-winning restaurants.

  • Stroll around the Old Town and take in landmarks such as Roland’s Column, a memorial to the legendary medieval knight. Visit in the summer and you’ll be able to see the opening of the Summer Festival, where the city flag makes a journey around the squares and cobbled streets of the Old Town.
  • For a true taste of Gothic architecture, head to Sponza Palace, one of the few Renaissance buildings that survived intact after the 1667 earthquake.
  • Relax with a coffee and pastry at one of the cafés that line Placa Stradun, the very heart of the Old Town, before wandering around the independent boutiques and stores.
  • Take a virtual tour of the entire city with the Visia Dubrovnik 5D Theatrum, where VR technology can let you see some of the most important historical sites, all in a single afternoon!
  • Relax on one of Dubrovnik’s beaches, such as the expansive Lapad Beach, fringed with shady trees and with plenty of facilities, or play a game of Beach volleyball on Banje Beach.
