Dubrovnik Things to Do Tips by KristaB

As one would expect from this tiny proud enclave, the way they were dealing with political and economical issues was … not boring.
At the atrium of Knezev dvor there is a water well, where all inhabitants were free to come, collect water, wash their clothes and talk. This forum was always full of action, people laughing, arguing, and even fighting! No secret could stay hidden within this city walls!
Today this atrium serves as one superb concert venue, with perfect acoustics for chamber music.

From early July to mid-August, the whole city becomes a stage. And what a stage that is!
Many citizens are contributing to Festival during summer months. It is an honor to be involved in preparations, and especially the opening ceremony - it is their sacred ritual.
"Who wrote the scenario? Oh, no... Got the seat? I'll watch from my kitchen window"

People get infected by drama, music, opera and dance in early childhood here. It is a part of life, all summer they have to walk over electricity cables and behind stages and scenery while shopping for groceries. I have seen children enchanted watching drama rehearsals. And actors would curse and laugh and do the same act again, and that doesn't bother them at all.

But they are also famous for being naughty and ridiculing performances that don't suit their connoisseur taste! Not too loud kitchen talk, maybe some underwear still hanging from the window overlooking the stage, that sort of stuff.
Special atmosphere. Dubrovnik.
