If you're lucky enough to be in Dubrovnik for this Easter Holiday, you won't be disappointed. The weather forecasters are predicting a warm and sunny weekend, and what is the perfect thing to do on a sunny day in Dubrovnik – visit the island of Lokrum.

For the whole of the Easter weekend the ferries to the picturesque island in front of the historic old city will be free of charge for all passengers. And that’s not all; a decorative wooden Easter Egg, handmade by Dubrovnik primary school children, will be presented to all passengers.

The ferries leave the Old City harbour every hour, on the hour, from 10am to 3pm, with the last boat leaving the island at 4pm. If you're lucky, you might even meet an Easter Bunny too! According to the information from the Dubrovnik Tourist Board an Easter Bunny will be strolling around the streets of the Old City as well as visiting Lokrum, keep your eyes peeled.

If you are looking for something a little more traditional there will be a presentation of Easter Eggs in front of the Sponza Palace in the heart of the Old City. These hand decorated eggs are coloured using a method that has been handed down through generations, they are like little miniature works of art. There will also be a demonstration on how the fronds of the palm leaves are braided, another typical Dubrovnik Easter tradition.

And for food lovers many of the restaurants in Dubrovnik will be participating in an special Easter meal over the weekend, combining the traditional meals with modern cooking, all perfect for a yummy Easter lunch.
