Wall to wall – a Dubrovnik city guide
Dubrovnik is a fantastic city, both within and outside the city walls.
From palace to boutique hotel
Prijeko Palace
Built in 1470, this is one of the city’s most beautiful palaces. Today it is a small boutique hotel, recently renovated by a Dutch couple, which provides a beautiful blend of the historical and the modern. Nine individually furnished double rooms.
Carefully selected wines
Vina Milicic
Dubrovnik’s best wine store is in a great location, in the middle of the pedestrian street of Stradun. But this is no tourist trap. Owned by the Milicic winery, it provides a carefully selected map of the best wines in Croatia, regardless of whether the grapes are called Malvasia, Posip or Plavac Mali. Don’t miss Milicic’s own powerful red, Dingac.
Red corals
Clara Stones
A store that is dedicated to the Mediterranean’s red corals, which according to Greek mythology were created from Medusa’s blood. Today, just a few deep-sea divers have the right to pick these rarities. You can see how the finished pieces take shape in the workshop.
Local gourmet
Pantarul
Located in the modern city, Pantarul is a local gourmet destination. The menu lives with the seasons and all the dishes are prepared using local produce sourced by farmers from Dubrovnik’s surroundings, especially from Župa and Konavle. Fresh fish is delivered daily and the meat comes from the most reliable, high-quality sources.
Iconic hotel since the 1950's
Grand Villa Argentina
One of Dubrovnik’s most iconic hotels is housed in a private palace outside the eastern walls of the city. It opened in the 1950s. The picture-perfect Argentina straddles a mountainside and its terrace offers a seductive view of the coastline and the archipelago.
