I think that Dubrovnik in December is a traveller’s dream. Warm sunshine, quiet streets, and breathtaking views make for an unforgettable family day out. If you’re considering a trip to this stunning Croatian gem, which is possibly the best place I’ve ever visited (at least so far) here’s a taste of what we did..
We kicked off our day with a walk around Dubrovnik’s famous city walls, basking in the warm December sun. The panoramic views of the Adriatic Sea and the terracotta rooftops of the Old Town were stunning to say the least the peaceful streets below made it all the more special the beauty of a December visit.
Inside one of Dubrovnik’s charming museums, Georgia and Dotty found themselves colouring, laughing, and playing on a fun pirate ship. It was the perfect way to engage their imaginations while giving us a chance to explore the cultural side of the city.
After a quick lunch, we hopped on a boat to Lokrum, better known as Peacock Island. The natural beauty of this small paradise is literally out of this world. From sitting on the Game of Thrones throne (yes, the actual Iron Throne!) to wandering through lush botanical gardens and discovering a quiet sea pools wells and old forts, it was a must see if your in Dubrovnik.
It has a decent play area for kids, so we spent some time there then we explored the abbey basement, a place filled with history and intrigue.
IMO Lokrum is a must-visit if you’re in Dubrovnik, whether you’re a history buff, a nature lover, or a fan of Game of Thrones.
Back on main land in the old city in Dubrovnik, we treated ourselves to some delicious ice cream while strolling through the atmospheric Old City. As the sun began to set, we soaked up the charm of the cobbled streets and stunning architecture. It’s hard to imagine it was ruined in the wars of the 90s?!
Honestly, Dubrovnik is a city that lives up to its reputation. Its beauty, history, and charm are unmatched, and there’s something for everyone pretty much whether you’re travelling solo, as a couple, or with a family.
Tomorrow, we’re diving into Game of Thrones history with a guided tour! Stay tuned as we explore the iconic filming locations that made Dubrovnik world-famous.
