From the Back Cover

One of the sunniest places in Europe, Dubrovnik also boasts some of the cleanest waters in the Mediterranean. And that's just for starters. Long-time Croatia expert Piers Letcher will make sure you don't miss out on all that Byron's "Pearl of the Adriatic" has to offer. Walk along the entire length of the restored city walls which surround the old town, explore the palace which originally housed a prison, and drink from the fountain that saved the city. Then take a boat-ride and relax in a cafe set in a ruined Benedictine monastery before dining out under the stars.

*Dubrovnik in context--past and present
*Where to stay--from five-star boutique hotels to camping
*Restaurants, cafes, bars and nightlife
*Dubrovnik Summer Festival - a 45-day extravaganza
*In-depth coverage of the surrounding coast and islands, including Lokrum and
Mljet
*Day trips to Montenegro and Bosnia & Herzegovina
*City and transport maps in full color

This review is from: Dubrovnik: The Bradt City Guide (Bradt Mini Guide) (Paperback)

I am traveling to Dubrovnik with a group of couples towards the end of this summer, and this book was the most comprehensive and utilitarian guide to the city and surrounding areas that I could find. With practical information (parking spots are hard to find in town and city officials aggressively tow cars and levy hefty fines) and tips on culture, day trips (new high speed ferry makes trips to nearby islands possible)and culinary options, it was the most helpful and informative guide I've found. Puts other pricier, glossier guides to shame!!

I had a look at this little book about a city I'm going to visit this year, and what I found was really good: stuff about what I'm going to see, what kind of stuff I can buy, and what kind of food & beverages I'll be eating & drinking during my time there.
