When night slowly falls over the City, a change befalls upon it and all seek for that special feel, a party, sweet and real like the heaven's delight. And the City offers that special unique feel, lures you with its moody trance and takes you in in its undreamable dream.

The City (inside walls) is the center of all cultural, fun and party happenings in Dubrovnik, like its been since the ancient times. All life revolves around the everpresent City.
Nightlife begins every night with sundown as people start walking up and back the Stradun (Placa) street, a kind of customary walk before the good times get rolling. After the few roundabouts you go get yourselves a drink or two for warm up in one of the many bars or pubs, depending upon your preference, located in the City... After that its only rock, pop or electronic parties (techno, rave, trance, r'n'b...), all close to the City.

The best fun is always the summer time and the New Year when Dubrovnik is always among Top 10 locations to visit according to CNN.

So where to go ?

Usually most of the Rock, Hard Rock and Alternative happenings is organized in the "old hospital" maybe 250 meters up the hill of the City from Pile gate or for larger events in "Lazareti" about 100 meters of the City from the Ploče gate. There are many such events, mostly concerts and dedication events.

From time to time a relatively open amateur event is organized called "Gitarijada" where local and other Croatian bands come to show what they got. It's a pretty big event as usually more than 30 bands come from all around Croatia to play their songs for the huge crowd.

Bikers party has become an usual yearly happening as thousands of bikers crowd up the streets to gather at this yerly fest. This fest features usual bike happenings, from burning the tire, wonderful bike exibitions, short races and of course loads of beer and pure fun.

Other face of Dubrovnik are the Electronic music parties, regularly organized in "Lazareti" and a few other clubs on Babin Kuk. During the summer there are many such events organized in the open, on beaches and the islands near Dubrovnik. Past years such events have been held at St. Jakov, Lopud, Šipan, Zaton etc. Known DJ-s are always playing music at these parties and are responsible for a great feel of these parties.

The best known Dubrovnik party is held in "Lazareti" on New Year and lasts three days. It's a must experience event for every true raver...

Pop music is an everpresent part of every European city so Dubrovnik is no exception. The way for popular music mostly ends up in Disco club Fuego and Capitano night bar.

Easier events with romantic or rather quiet atmosphere are quite often. The most popular places for relaxed feel are Buža, any of the beach bars in Uvala Lapad (Lapad bay), Copacabana beach on Babin Kuk, Banje and many other....
