Must-visit attractions in Dubrovnik

If there is time, we suggest you start your visit to the city outside the walls of the historic center. Specifically at the Fortress of St. Lawrence (Lovrijenac). One of the must-see attractions in Dubrovnik. Although, in reality the most important thing about the Fortress of San Lorenzo is the views from its top over the walled city.

Passing the immense walls that surround and protect the historic center through the Pile Gate is undoubtedly one of the best things to do in Dubrovnik. 

This arch was the main entrance to the Dubrovnik Republic, which stayed independent through diplomacy and wealth from its merchant fleet. It leads to a Renaissance gate with a tower topped by a statue of St. Blaise.

Upon entering, you'll find Onofrio's Fountain, a key symbol of Dubrovnik. Just a few meters from the fountain, next to the Church of the Holy Savior, there is a climb to the imposing walls 2 kilometers long and almost 25 meters high that protected ancient Ragusa (the historic core of Dubrovnik) from enemy attacks.

During the walk along the top of the walls, the entire tour lasts about 2 hours, you will pass by various strategically placed towers and fortresses, although the best, without a doubt, are the views of the red terracotta roofs of the old town from which the various bell towers stand out, and in the background the blue of the Adriatic.

It was a night to remember at the iconic Santiago Bernabéu. Real Madrid’s maestro Luka Modrić scored one of the goals of the season in a thrilling La Liga clash against Girona – but the real magic happened after the final whistle.

A young Croatian footballer from Gorica FC was in the stands, watching her hero in action. And as if witnessing Modrić’s wonder strike wasn’t enough, what happened next left her in absolute disbelief.

In a heartwarming moment caught on camera and shared by Everything Croatia, Modrić spotted a Croatian flag waving proudly in the packed stadium. Without hesitation, the 39-year-old legend made his way towards the ecstatic young fan and handed her his match-worn shirt. The sheer joy on her face said it all – a dream come true, a memory to last a lifetime.

Once again, Modrić proves he’s not just a magician with the ball at his feet, but also a true gentleman of the game. Bravo, Luka!

It’s been a bumpy ride for the Port of Ploče! Luka Ploče d.d. just released its 2024 business report, revealing a year filled with challenges—but also some bright spots.

The company raked in €100 million in revenue, but a massive 17% drop in cargo traffic hit hard, thanks to disastrous floods in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The railway shutdown meant cargo had to be trucked instead, leading to a staggering 35% drop in port traffic in the final quarter of 2024. As if that wasn’t enough, long-time partner ArcelorMittal Zenica shut down its plant, shaking up the entire supply chain.

Still, there’s good news! Sales skyrocketed by 71%, driven by booming demand for steel sheets and rebar. And with railway transport back on track, CEO Hrvoje Livaja is optimistic: “Transport flows have normalized, and we’re moving forward stronger than ever!”

With plans for modernization and new investments, the Port of Ploče is ready to bounce back—bigger and better! 

The introduction of the special traffic zone, initially scheduled for March 1, 2025, has been postponed. This was announced during a meeting yesterday between Mayor Mato Franković, his deputy Jelka Tepšić, and representatives of tourist agencies.

The delay is attributed to a recent accident on the main road, leading to the implementation of a more lenient version of the planned traffic regulations, though details on the specific adjustments were not provided. The new measures will be more flexible and less restrictive than originally planned until the issues with the main road and the landslide repairs on Srđ, which only began after the tragic accident that claimed a young life, are resolved. However, no deadline has been set for how long these temporary measures will remain in effect.

A Swiss company is expected to arrive in early March to install protective barriers on Srđ, which will further complicate traffic on the main road. As a result, traffic will occasionally be diverted through Zagrebačka Street and Petra Krešimira IV Street, making these two roads crucial exit routes from the city towards Župa. Given these circumstances, introducing a special traffic zone at this time is not feasible.

The "Masked Concert" has been an essential part of the Dubrovnik Carnival for years. Once again, the quirky, colorful, and masked orchestra—along with its conductor and soloists—is ready to entertain a masked audience at the concert on March 1st at the Marin Držić Theatre. The concert starts at 7:30 PM.

The Dubrovnik Symphony Orchestra will be conducted by maestro Ivan Hut, with performances by mezzo-soprano Laura Hladilo Kocković, vocalist Sebastijan Vukosavić, clarinetist Teo Čipčić, cellist Vanda Đanić, and percussionist Alan Polzer—who will be playing a typewriter!

The concert is organized in collaboration with the Dubrovnik Symphony Orchestra, Marin Držić Theatre, the Dubrovnik Tourist Board, and the City of Dubrovnik.

Admission is free with pre-collected tickets from the KMD box office and a mandatory mask.

On Monday, a telephone session of the Government of the Republic of Croatia was held. During the session, a regulation was adopted to determine the maximum retail prices of petroleum products.

The regulation will take effect on Wednesday, February 26, 2025, and this pricing model will apply for the next 14-day period. The new prices will be:

• €1.51/l for gasoline (no change)
• €1.44/l for diesel (increase of €0.01/l)
• €0.84/l for blue diesel (increase of €0.01/l)

Government of the Republic of Croatia

Without government measures, and if retail prices were fully market-driven based on energy sector premiums before the first regulation, the prices would be:

• €1.54/l for gasoline
• €1.54/l for diesel
• €0.93/l for blue diesel
• €1.59/kg for LPG in tanks
• €2.22/kg for LPG in bottles.
