Live Your Best Lives
Dubrovnik, formerly known as "Ragusa," is a port city in southeastern Croatia, a major tourist center, and a health resort. Located on a limestone peninsula on the southern Dalmatian coast, a place renowned for its beautiful scenery and pleasant climate, it boasts a medieval charm nestled between mountains and the sea, amidst lush forests.
This is the King's Landing in "Game of Thrones" and one of the filming locations for many movies. It can be called the back garden for Europeans to vacation.
The Dubrovnik region enjoys a typical Mediterranean climate, characterized by warm, rainy winters and hot, dry summers. Due to its uniquely windy conditions and frequent thunderstorms, spring and autumn are perhaps the most comfortable seasons in Dubrovnik, with highs typically ranging between 20°C and 28°C.
Dubrovnik City Walls
Built between the 12th and 17th centuries, it is made of limestone. The thickness of the walls on land is 6 to 12 meters, and the walls facing the sea are relatively thinner. It has a total length of 1,940 meters and a maximum height of 25 meters. It circles the city and is the most complete ancient city defense system preserved in the Middle Ages that has never been breached by the enemy.
Lusa Square
The Orlando Column in the center of the square is one of Dubrovnik's most beautiful works of art. Built in the 15th century, it stands between Sponza Palace and the Church of St. Blaise. For 600 years, it has been a symbol of freedom and independence and the spiritual center of the city.
