Dubrovnik

Croatia

Clinging alluringly to one of the most dramatic and beautiful coastlines in the Adriatic, the walled city of Dubrovnik is southern Croatia's crowning jewel, bathed in sunshine and refreshing sea breezes. Surrounded by thick, impenetrable walls, Dubrovnik's old quarter juts out into the turquoise waters of the sea and is often called the 'museum town'. The old quarter is a thriving metropolis replete with narrow streets buzzing with colorful markets and shops and enticing cafes. Beyond the ancient city lies the attractive Lapad Peninsula - a particular favorite with holidaymakers who love to explore the pine-cloaked hills and relax in its tranquil bays.
