Dubrovnik
Dubrovnik dazzles with its timeless beauty, rich history and dramatic coastal setting. From its iconic city walls to island escapes and panoramic views, this Adriatic gem offers an unforgettable blend of culture, legend and seaside charm.
When it comes to the ‘Pearl of the Adriatic’, as Byron called Dubrovnik, it’s hard to imagine anyone becoming inured to the city’s smooth marble streets and mix of cafes, museums, churches and Baroque buildings. Or failing to be inspired by a walk along the ancient city walls, which for five centuries protected a sophisticated, independent republic – a rival even to Venice as a maritime power in the Mediterranean.
Be sure to ride the Dubrovnik cable car to the top of Srd Hill for breathtaking views of the Old Town, and to visit the laidback Elaphiti Islands, whose turquoise waters offer excellent swimming and snorkelling. Also worth a daytrip is lush Lokrum Island. Legend has it that Richard the Lionheart was washed ashore on Lokrum after his ship was wrecked coming home from the Crusades. Today it’s better known for its role in Game of Thrones, which was partly filmed on the island.
