Dubrovnik nightlife: The Croatian city has established itself in recent years as one of the most popular summer tourist destinations and offers a fairly lively nightlife, which is concentrated in the numerous bars of the old city. Here are the best places to spend your nights in Dubrovnik!
Nightlife Dubrovnik
true pearl of the Mediterranean, the city of Dubrovnik is one of the most sought-after summer destinations in Croatia , thanks to the beauty of the city, its crystal clear sea and the ability to combine relaxation and fun.
Dubrovnik offers a nightlife that is suitable for all ages and all tastes, and is concentrated within the walls that enclose its historic center, a maze of narrow streets in which discos, bars, galleries and clubs with live music alternate and which animate the old city until late at night.
Hidden among the cobbled streets and light marble squares, there are the main night clubs where you can drink, meet people and dance, especially along the "Stradun" the main street of the old city, the hub of Dubrovnik's nightlife . Here are most of the bars with outdoor tables, as well as wine bars and pubs where you can drink excellent cocktails.
Nightlife in Dubrovnik begins every evening after sunset, when people start walking up and down the main street, in a sort of customary walk before the bars slowly become more and more crowded. Most of the bars in Dubrovnik are small and welcoming. However, what it lacks in size, it makes up for in quantity: in every street of the city you can find numerous clubs, bars or pubs, some more popular than others. Since the bars are small and are not able to contain all the people inside them, crowds of people find themselves drinking on the street, thus enlivening all the corners of the historic center. The bars usually close around 1.00.
All around, the narrow streets of the historic center are filled with music, including classical music concerts and street musicians. For the inhabitants of Dubrovnik art and music are very important . During the summer season, the various small squares of the city become stages where numerous musical and theatrical performances are staged, with artists, musical groups and singers who often spontaneously gather in the street to sing traditional Dalmatian songs.
One of the most important cultural events is undoubtedly the Dubrovnik Summer Festival , which takes place every year between July and August. During this festival, the streets and squares of the city are transformed into a real stage where theatrical performances, dances, but above all concerts with live music take place, ranging from classical to jazz to contemporary music. An event not to be missed for all music lovers.
For a fun and boozy night out try the Pub Crawl Ziggy 
, which departs every evening at 10.00pm at the Pile Gate. A guide will lead your group to some bars where you will have a free drink (during the first hour you can drink unlimitedly) to end the evening at the Revelin club . The cost is 33 euros per person.
