Dubrovnik-Neretva County is the southernmost county of Croatia, lying along the Adriatic coast in Europe. It takes its name from two landmarks: the historic walled city of Dubrovnik, and the Neretva River, whose delta opens onto the sea farther up the coast.
What the county offers
The county is best known for the walled city of Dubrovnik, which anchors any visit to the area. Beyond the city, the coastline runs north toward the Neretva delta, so a visit can move between the open sea and the river's wetlands and lowland landscapes.
- The historic walled city of Dubrovnik, the centre of the county.
- The Adriatic coast, stretching from the city northward.
- The Neretva River delta, where the river meets the sea.
Planning a visit
Because the county covers a long stretch of coast, it suits travellers who want more than a single town. A stay in Dubrovnik can be paired with trips along the shoreline or to the delta, depending on how much time you have. The county is a good choice for visitors interested in coastal scenery and historic urban settings alike.
Check local sources before you go for current details on transport, access and opening times, as these can change from season to season.
