On The 28th Of The Month, The Dubrovnik Chamber Threesome Will Take To The Stage In The Town And Put On A Diverse And Classic Show.

A special and legitimate performance in the center of Dubrovnik may appeal to all those set to take a holiday in Croatia in August.
On the 28th of the month, the Dubrovnik Chamber Threesome will take to the stage in the town and put on a diverse and classic show.

The pieces they’re due to perform are based mostly on an English and French baroque theme and will include tunes composed by Beethoven and Mozart, according to the Dubrovnik Visitor Board.
A slot at the Domino Church in the center of the town, starting at 21:00 local time, has been lined up for the threesome, where they will be joined by locals and visitors who wish to hear their sounds.

The Croatian State Visitor Board has told of the joys of the Kastav Summer of Culture event which is now in progress and has a number of musical performances, including the popular Global Guitar Holiday.

St Tropez is so last season, Ibiza now attracts the hordes while Marbella has been done incessantly, so stylistas needing to rub shoulders with celebrities as diversified as Beyonce, Oprah and Kevin Spacey are booking their tickets to the walled Croatian capital, Dubrovnik, Byron’s ‘Pearl of the Adriatic,’ with its shining travertine streets and azure waters, for that unique mix of culture, history, gastronomy and a very vibrant party scene.

And no time of the year better demonstrates Dubrovnik’s vibrancy than the annual Le Petit Festival du Thtre, taking place this year from the 24th of June till the following of July. A theatrical and artistic extravaganza, the festival brings this party-loving town to an even higher cultural plane with a variety of innovative plays, musicals and modern art displays galore.

But if you can’t quite make it to the holiday, start your town tour on foot at the Pile Gate on the medieval, 2 km long and 25m high wall that encircles the old town. No trip is complete, no vista of the town and Adriatic as astounding and all-encompassing as that from the fortress, towers and wall that protect the town, a licensed UNESCO Heritage site.

Culture vultures requiring nourishment make time for the 14th century Dominican priory with its impressive 15th century Gothic cloister. The gorgeous baroque, three-nave Dubrovnik Cathedral, the third Church to be built on top of the present site, contains remains of the previous 6th century Byzantine basilica and 12-14th Century Romanesque Church of the Assumption ; just don’t miss the wealthy treasury.

Water babies desiring to discover more about all that occurs under and on the sea should shell out the all inclusive entrance ticket to the Maritime Museum- with its excellent collection of seafaring charts, boat models, documents and replicas- and 27 tank sea water aquarium that contain a great number of native rainbow coloured fish and sea creatures from stingrays to sea horses.

All this exploring works up an appetite and there is not any better place to indulge your gastronomic desires than the fine dining Porat that serves up some of the finest local cuisine ; the sea bass is actually worth the trek alone.

It’s no surprise George Bernard Shaw announced that “those who seek heaven on earth should look for it in Dubrovnik.”

While you’re there…
Discover a gem
A favored yet not possible to find uncovered bar concealed within the rocky walls of Dubrovnik from which divers frequently jump directly into the azure sea below. The original, unmarked entrance to Buze bar is accessible from the ground via a doorway marked “8-20″ opposite the terrace of the Ekvinocijo cafe on Ilije Sarake ; a second Buze Bar now draws revellers too.

Hit the beach
Whether or not you are after a spot of swimming, sunbathing or water sporting, cool it at the Lapad Cape Beach, the biggest public beach in the town, famous for rocky, pebble-strewn coasts and azure waters. Its walking trails that wind along the sea are excellent for slow strolls while admiring the beautiful scenery.

Seek some thrills
The distinctive Franco Tudjman Suspension Bridge, located in the Gruz suburb, it offers people who valiantly climb up it sweeping perspectives of the harbour and the town centre. But adrenalin junkies head there with another purpose ; to bungee jump…
