Magical Dubrovnik

It's official, in 2022 one of the most beautiful open stages in the world, Stradun will shine beneath the merry Christmas lights for the ninth time! 

Only a handful of towns, states, or republics can claim to have centuries-old statutes, and Dubrovnik has one that is 750 years old! 

Even if you loved your visit during the famous summer months, Dubrovnik has a special glow in December that will steal your heart. The city is dressed for the holidays with seasonal decorations and hundreds of glittering lights, and impressive Christmas trees adorn the city's iconic locations.

As Shakespeare famously wrote, “all the world’s a stage and all the men and women are merely players.” If one single event throughout the year is synonymous with the city then the Dubrovnik Summer Festival absolutely tops the list.

Dubrovnik is a wonderful city to visit any time of the year, but February has a special magic and offers a surprisingly rich programme for visitors. For this is the month where Dubrovnik’s revered patron saint, St. Blaise, is celebrated, with locals and extended family taking part in a centuries-old tradition.

St. Blaise has a very special place in the hearts of the citizens of Dubrovnik. The patron saint of this historic city is celebrated as a saviour and protector, flags are carried aloft, banners proudly unfurled and processions attended.

There are few things as synonymous with the Dubrovnik region as the folklore dance Linđo. A celebration in Dubrovnik simply isn’t a true celebration without the sounds and sights of the Linđo dancers twisting and twirling.
