Dubrovnik’s cool paths are carefully designed to guide visitors through shaded areas, green spaces, and cultural sites. Starting from the Tourist Information Centre, the path weaves through historic fountains, shaded parks, and monuments, offering refreshing spots and relief along the way. Each stop is selected to maximize thermal comfort while showcasing the beauty and history of the city, blending cultural attractions with natural settings.
This unique route is not merely an urban design but has been developed through field research conducted at key tourist locations across the city. This survey collected valuable insights into visitor experiences and perceptions, helping define a route that meets their needs and expectations. Additionally, the Cool Noons project involved representatives from local administrative departments and the Dubrovnik Tourist Board, through dedicated focus groups that contributed to refining the path.
The result is a model of sustainable tourism that not only enhances the visitor experience but also promotes the city’s climate resilience. Through Cool Noons’ refreshing paths, Dubrovnik stands as a destination that respects and values both its cultural heritage and environmental well-being.
