You can count on Rick Steves to tell you what youreally need to know when traveling in Dubrovnik.

In this compact guide, Rick Steves and Cameron Hewitt cover the essentials of Dubrovnik, including Peljesac Peninsula, Mljet National Park, and Trsteno Arboretum. Visit Dubrovnik's main promenade known as The Stradun, or stroll the scenic mile-and-a-quarter around the city's town walls. You'll get firsthand advice on the best sights, eating, sleeping, and nightlife, and the maps and self-guided tours will ensure you make the most of your experience. More than just reviews and directions, a Rick Steves Snapshot guide is a tour guide in your pocket.

Rick Steves' Snapshot guides consist of excerpted chapters from Rick Steves' European country guidebooks. Snapshot guides are a great choice for travelers visiting a specific city or region, rather than multiple European destinations. These slim guides offer all of Rick's up-to-date advice on what sights are worth your time and money. They include good-value hotel and restaurant recommendations, with no introductory information (such as overall trip planning, when to go, and travel practicalities).
