"Those who seek paradise on Earth should come to Dubrovnik." These were the words of playwright George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950), who also gave the Croatian coastal city the nickname "Pearl of the Adriatic," according to UN Special. Looking through the picture under, it is not hard to understand why Shaw would give the city such a rave review.
Located in the Mediterranean and situated on the Dalmatian Coast of Croatia, Dubrovnik has transformed from medieval seaport to tourism hot spot thanks to its mild climate, geographic location, and rich history. Founded in the 7th century by a group of refugees from Epidaurum, Greece, Dubrovnik is best-known for its defensive stone walls, or ramparts, which made the city "an important Mediterranean sea power from the 13th century onwards," according to UNESCO.
Named one of CNN Travel's "10 Best Medieval Walled Cities,” Dubrovnik's peak tourism season from May to August, lists U.S. News. Visitors to Dubrovnik can enjoy average summer temperatures with highs in the mid-80s and lows in the mid-60s to lower-70s, according to data from the World Meteorological Organization. "Dubrovnik's climate is greatly moderated by the Adriatic Sea," explains weather.com meteorologist Chrissy Warrilow. "Summer is also Dubrovnik's dry season. From June to August, Dubrovnik's average rainfall amount is just over 5 inches for the three month period."
