CONFERENCE DESTINATION
George Bernard Shaw was enchanted by this beautiful city, about which he said “those who seek paradise on Earth should come to Dubrovnik”, as well as, famously, describing it as “the pearl of the Adriatic“. It really is a stunning city with an amazing Old Town, which became a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1979. Its walls, palaces, streets and roofs tell stories from the rich history of Dubrovnik in which every chance traveller discovers his own story in the stone, sea, Stradun or at Porporela.
