Of course, a good reason to visit Dubrovnik in late February and early March will be the traditional Dubrovnik carnival with a rich program for all ages.

Dubrovnik has a long tradition of masquerade, so these days there is a special atmosphere in the city, and guests, along with the masquerals, go for an unforgettable tour of the city.

In winter, until the end of March, the tourist community of the city of Dubrovnik also traditionally organizes Saturday's winter morning in the city. They include a folklore performance in front of the church of St. Vlaha and thematic sightseeing of the city where guests can get to know the cosmopolitan Dubrovnik and listen to the stories of traces of ancient love or the history of St. Vlaha.

Although Dubrovnik has always been known as a unique destination for history and culture, we must not forget the gastronomic flavors of the Mediterranean, which are each offered by many restaurants. Also, this is a good reason to visit. Throughout the city, guests in attractive restaurants can enjoy great traditional dishes, as well as in their fantastic contemporary interpretations. This year, the city with special gourmet days from 6 to 9 March will be marked by International Women's Day.
