You know that feeling of traveling in the off-season, only to find that all cafes and restaurants in the town are closed? Lucky for those of you traveling to Dubrovnik this December, that thought won’t even have to cross your mind. You can thank the new project Dubrovnik Winter Restaurants for that.
With the extension of the season, the vibrant Dubrovnik Winter Festival program, and a diverse gastronomic offer at the Advent houses, this December, visitors to Dubrovnik can enjoy a total of 43 catering facilities in the city, reports HRTurizam on December 4, 2018.
Given the increase in the number of international and domestic flights during the winter months and the interest and constant growth of visitors, the Tourist Board of Dubrovnik, in cooperation with the City of Dubrovnik, published a new leaflet titled “Winter Restaurants", which contains a list of open restaurants, pizzerias and fast food during the month of December with special working hours.
You can download the leaflet on the Dubrovnik Tourist Board website and at the Information Offices of the TZGD in Pile, Gruž and Lapad.
