Dubrovnik

In the far south of the arc that forms Croatian soil, located on the thin coast strip between the high hills and the calmness of the Adriatic sea lies a stone white city: Dubrovnik. Its high walls and bastions stand proud above the clear blue sea boasting to the lush green Lokrum island ranged only hundreds of meters from the walls. Archaic looks and the unprecedented fairytale appearance never leave you while roaming the ancient city, the very reason for Dubrovnik to be a World Heritage site.

During its Golden Age in the 16th century, it had one of the largest merchant naval fleets in the world, with consulates in more than 50 foreign ports. Brave sailors, hard-bargaining merchants, and shrewd diplomats, the people of Dubrovnik became extremely rich, leading sophisticated lifestyles and valuing refinement and the arts. Today, visitors come here for leisure, not to trade. The main draw is the charming pedestrian-only old town, packed with aristocratic palazzi and elegant Baroque churches, contained within sturdy medieval fortifications.

Throughout centuries Dubrovnik always depended on the sea so it’s no surprise that fishing, seamanship, and sea cuisine are an essential part of local culture and come almost like second nature to the local population.
