Visit the culturally and historically rich city of Dubrovnik in your rental car
Dubrovnik, fondly referred to as the Pearl of the Adriatic, is situated on the far southern end of
Croatia. It pairs the pleasures of a Mediterranean holiday of sunny beaches and turquoise water with a historical experience which will be revealed at first sight. A UNESCO World Heritage awarded Old Town is entirely encircled by one of the most impressive defensive walls you are likely to see anywhere. Get your rental car to experience this nationally recognized city.
Experience a spectacular view of the city
Within the Old Town walls you will find countless little alleys, framed by art galleries, cafés, restaurants and boutiques. The Franciscan monastery contains the oldest pharmacy in Europe, opened in 1317. To get the best impression of what is where in the Old Town, simply buy a ticket to go up on top of the wall where you are in for a 1.2 mile walk. The reward is a phenomenal view over the city, the harbor, and the bay with small islands off the shore. From up here you can spot the Sponza Palace, the Rector’s Palace, the Jesuit Monastery and the Dominican Monastery. Be an independent traveler thanks to your rental car.You will also find small bars tucked away into the cliffs outside the wall facing the sea.
The distinguished culture of Dobrovnik
Dubrovnik claims the title of the cultural capital of Croatia and backs this with a great number of artists, poets, writers and others who have settled here and provide a special charm to their home city. Drive your rental car through Dubrovnik and discover the landscape.
Internationally Dubrovnik is mainly known as a cruise ship destination, brining in guests from all over the world. The old harbor is just outside the city wall and a charming place to sit in the sun and admire all those little and big yachts.
While driving your rental car is impossible in the Old Town the rental car will come in handy to explore the less central attractions of Dubrovnik – and to get away from the great number of tourists that can gather here during high season. While in July and August the city beaches get crowed quicker than you can put on sunscreen you have a very good chance of finding a more secluded spot outside the city. The road network these days is in good condition and extensive enough.
Enjoy the great outdoors in Dubrovnik in your rental car
Even getting away from the water is easily possible and a popular day trip for the active traveler. Just a few miles away from the city you can rent mountain bikes and hit the cycling trails in the hills that separate Croatia from Bosnia-Herzegovina. The view of the countryside and the sea is simply spectacular.
With your car rental, enjoy your freedom.
Along the coast more sportive activities wait to be discovered, tried out, and improved. Anything from jet skiing to scuba diving is possible, and should you be a proficient sailor you can rent a yacht and take your own personal cruise to a few of the tiny Adriatic islands. Book your car rental and discover the area.
The night life in Dubrovnik
Once night falls in Dubrovnik and the Old Town is beautifully illuminated you will discover another of the city’s strength: excellent food and great entertainment. A sheer endless number of good restaurants serve typically Mediterranean fare, heavy on seafood and delicious seasoning. You can work off the calories in one of the exclusive clubs around town, dancing into the morning.
If you’re really lucky you will be in Dubrovnik for the Summer Festival, a mixture of folk, theater, and music festival.
Be enchanted by the view while driving your rental car.
