This seven night stay in Dubrovnik works well for couples who want a mix of history, time by the sea and easy days without changing hotels. With direct flights from Dublin, a sea view base just outside the Old Town and a small number of guided experiences included, it offers a straightforward way to get to know Croatia’s most historic city at a comfortable pace.
Dubrovnik is a place people come for the setting as much as the sights. Stone streets lead down to the sea, swimming spots are dotted along the coast and cafés spill out onto small squares as the day cools. The Old Town is best explored on foot, early in the morning or later in the evening, when the streets feel calmer and it’s easy to wander, stop for a drink or settle in for dinner.
A guided walk of the Old Town is included to introduce you to the layout and stories behind the city, including several filming locations used in Game of Thrones. The visit finishes with a cable car ride up Mount Srd, where views stretch across the city walls, Lokrum Island and the Adriatic, giving a real sense of why Dubrovnik’s position is so striking.
A full day boat trip takes you to the Elaphiti Islands, just off the Dubrovnik coast. These islands are known for their relaxed feel, swimming bays and small villages. Time is spent swimming, walking and enjoying lunch on board, offering a slower day on the water that balances time in the city.
Where you are staying is right on the water, just outside the Old Town. Balconies look out across the Adriatic, and swimming platforms and coastal walks sit directly below the hotel. It’s easy to head into the city during the day, then come back to a quieter spot for sunset, dinner and an early evening swim
