A VENUE LIKE NO OTHER
Where the Adriatic
meets history.
Encircled by centuries-old stone walls, Dubrovnik is Croatia’s southern jewel: a city of bright limestone streets, warm Mediterranean hospitality and deep blue sea.
The Old City Harbour places the tournament in the heart of the UNESCO-listed Old Town — an extraordinary open-water arena beneath Fort St. John, just steps from the city’s iconic walls.
