Dubrovnik

Dubrovnik truly is a stunning city with its amazing Old Town that became a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1979 and is the setting for King's Landing on the popular cult TV show 'Game of Thrones'. But whatever we and others say, our words will never be able to do this fantastic destination justice, so you will have to come and see it for yourself.

The Old Town with its many sights, including the well-preserved city walls along which you can walk, is, without doubt, the main attraction. However, there is plenty to do both inside and outside the city walls. The clear-blue seas surrounding Dubrovnik are perfect for a spot of kayaking or a trip on a day boat to view the city from a different perspective. Slightly further afield, you can sample some local wines on a vineyard tour, and if you are visiting in the summer, do not miss the world-renowned Dubrovnik Summer Festival.
