In summer time Dubrovnik is very popular for travelers around the world. Come winter it casts a different spell. It is lovely and experience the city for its true self; a pleasure for the soul. Take a walk with me in wintertime. You will get more than you can imagine.
The amazing city is beyond imagination. Or simply come and visit: If you like listen to concerts; walk the city walls; visit some of the numerous museums, galleries, bars.
Talking about bars a brand new bar just opened up. It is called Du Gil’s Lounge. Du Gil’s is a very exquisite and very elegant lounge that draws a lot of attention around here. It is a dream of a setting, not to mention its interior – a must see. The owner is the Russian billionaire Viktor Wechselberg. He is the one that bought a few years ago the famous "Faberge eggs" from the Forbes family. We were lucky to see them exhibited here in Dubrovnik.
Don't forget even in winter, most of the days in Dubrovnik can be enjoyed outside due to our mild climate. There are 2900 sunny hours per year!
In winter (between Nov. & Feb.) the city of Dubrovnik hands out to its visitors a free "Dubrovnik Winter Card". This card allows for about 90 discounts within the city, from cinema to theatre performances, to restaurants, wellness centers, shops, museums, rent-a-car offices etc.
Also a wonderful note: Every Tuesday there's a “welcome show” in the theatre where folklore dances, vocal singers, classical music are performed. Every Friday enjoy wine tasting and olive oil tasting in one of Dubrovnik’s hotels. And last but not least our dazzling & romantic city lights create a joyous atmosphere during the Christmas season and enjoy our superb open air party on New Year’s Eve.
If you want to get in touch with local people and do as the locals do, this is the right time to come. I hope to meet you. Best wishes, Inga
