Dubrovnik is one of the best known towns of Croatia for it’s beautiful ancient walled centre, many different churches and museums which can all be visited. It is an UNESCO heritage site and when visiting the town you can surely appreciate why.
The old town lends itself perfectly for strolling around and popping into a shop, church or museum along the way while getting a refreshment or something delicious to eat in one of the many bars and restaurants.
A must is definitely a walk around the city on its medieval broad city wall with its viewpoints – a great spot for some panoramic pictures!
