Few days ago an article was published saying tourists should skip Dubrovnik due to the congestion caused by the large number of visitors. I would strongly advise don’t skip it; just plan your visit accordingly! Dubrovnik, like any other tourist destination, has its better and worst days for a visit. In 2018 Thursdays are the days when it might be better to plan visits outside Dubrovnik or to revise the order of your visit.
I grew up in Dubrovnik, city that had always been involved in tourism. In my family I had an aunt who worked for Dubrovnik Tourist Board in late 60’ (when the tourism started its blossom here) and worked as a tour guide as well. I always looked up at her and I was so impressed with her knowledge in history and all other topics, she spoke different languages and travelled a lot. For me, that was exactly what I wanted to do in my life.
