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 vacation in Croatia in August.
On the 28th of the month, the Dubrovnik Chamber Threesome will take to the stage in the city and put on a diverse and classic show.
The pieces they are due to perform are based mostly on a British and French baroque theme and will include tunes composed by Beethoven and Mozart, according to the Dubrovnik Tourist Board.
A slot at the Domino Church in the heart of the town, beginning at 21:00 local time, has been scheduled for the threesome, where they will be joined by neighbors and visitors who would like to hear their sounds.
The Croatian National Tourist Board has told of the excitement of the Kastav Summer of Culture event which is now in progress and includes a number of musical performances, including the favored World Guitar Festival.
St Tropez is so last season, Ibiza now pulls the hordes while Marbella has been done to death, 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 colourful party scene.
And no time of the year better demonstrates Dubrovnik’s richness than the once a year Le Petit Festival du Thtre, taking place this year from the 24th of June until the 2nd of July. A dramatic and artistic extravaganza, the festival brings this party-loving town to an even higher cultural plane with a selection of innovative plays, musicals and contemporary art displays galore.
But if you can’t quite make it to the holiday, start your city tour on foot at the Pile Gate on the medieval, two km long and 25m high wall that encircles the old city. 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, an authorized UNESCO Heritage site.
Culture vultures wanting sustenance leave time for the 14th century Dominican monastery with its galvanizing fifteenth century Gothic cloister. The attractive baroque, three-nave Dubrovnik Cathedral, the 3rd Church to be built atop the present site, contains remains of the previous 6th century Byzantine basilica and 12-14th Century Romanesque Church of the Assumption ; simply don’t don’t miss the wealthy treasury.
Water babies needing 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 wonderful collection of seafaring charts, boat models, documents and replicas- and twenty-seven tank sea water aquarium that contain a large number of native rainbow coloured fish and sea creatures from stingrays to sea horses.
All this exploring works up an appetite and there isn’t any better place to indulge your gastronomic wants than the fine dining Porat that serves up some of the finest local cuisine ; the sea bass is worth the trek alone.
It’s not any surprise George Bernard Shaw declared that “those who seek paradise on earth should hunt for it in Dubrovnik.”
While you are there…
Discover a gem
A well-liked yet very unlikely to find alfresco bar concealed in the rocky walls of Dubrovnik from which divers regularly jump straight into the azure sea below. The original, unmarked entrance to Buze bar is accessible from the ground via an entrance marked “8-20″ opposite the patio of the Ekvinocijo eaterie on Ilije Sarake ; a second Buze Bar now pulls revellers too.
Hit the beach
Whether you are after a spot of swimming, sunbathing or water sporting, chill out at the Lapad Headland Beach, the biggest public beach in the town, renowned for rocky, pebble-strewn coasts and azure waters. Its walking trails that wind along the sea are ideal for easy going strolls while admiring the beautiful scenery.
Seek some thrills
The special Franco Tudjman Suspension Bridge, found in the Gruz suburb, it offers those that valiantly climb up it sweeping views of the harbor and the city centre. But adrenalin junkies head there with another purpose ; to bungee jump…
