Dubrovnik has earned a spot on MSN's esteemed list of the 15 Sun-Soaked European Cities for Late Summer Getaways, highlighting its undeniable late summer charm.

As the intense heat and crowds of July and August subside, Dubrovnik remains an attractive destination well into October, with the Adriatic Sea staying warm enough for swimming. This shoulder season offers a unique blend of benefits for visitors. Travelers can traverse the ancient city walls, enjoying stunning sea views with fewer tourists, and take a dip in the crystal-clear Adriatic waters without the peak summer crowds. The city also provides better photo opportunities for fans of King’s Landing from Game of Thrones.

Additionally, visitors can benefit from accommodation prices up to 40% lower than during peak season and enjoy more authentic local experiences as the cruise ship crowds diminish.

MSN's list celebrates cities that maintain their warmth and allure well into September and October. With some Mediterranean cities boasting over 300 days of sunshine per year, the guide encourages sun-seekers to extend their summer adventures. From pristine beaches to cultural hotspots, these destinations offer the perfect backdrop for a memorable late summer getaway.
