Dubrovnik · Sports & events
SPORT & SEASON
Water polo is the local religion here, played outdoors and taken very seriously.
Water polo at Jug
Dubrovnik's club is among the strongest in Europe and plays league and continental games from autumn into spring; tickets are cheap and the crowd is loud.
Kayaking under the walls
Three-hour paddles from Pile beach around Lokrum and back, run from spring to autumn, with a sunset departure that fills first.
Spring running weekend
Dubrovnik stages a road-race weekend each spring, with a half marathon along the coast road and shorter distances finishing near the old port.
Sailing the south Adriatic
Charter season runs May to October out of the ACI marina up the Ombla river; regattas work the Elafiti islands through summer.
