Dubrovnik prepares for annual culture fest

Flights to Dubrovnik in Croatia could prove increasingly popular from July 10th as the city hosts its annual cultural festival.

The Dubrovnik Festival will run from July 10th to August 25th this year.

Visitors will be able to enjoy classical music, theatre, opera, dance and more in over 70 open-air venues throughout Dubrovnik.

The festival will get underway with an opening ceremony on July 10th followed by a performance by the Zagreb Philharmonic Orchestra the next day.

Highlights of the theatre section of the programme will include a production of Hamlet by the Festival Drama Ensemble and the Croatian National Theatre, which will be performed four times between August 20th and 24th.

British travellers will be offered more access to Croatia this year following the recent launch of new easyJet flights to Dubrovnik from Liverpool Airport.

The carrier based a new aircraft at the hub that has also enabled it to offer additional flights to Naples in Italy and Bordeaux in France.
