See ‧ Seek ‧ Explore in Dubrovnik

Dubrovnik is a stunning city with its amazing Old Town which became an UNESCO World Heritage site in 1979.

George Bernard Shaw said: "Those who seek paradise on Earth should come to Dubrovnik and see Dubrovnik".

So here I come and see ......

Getting Around Old Town
At the Pile Gate, crossing a stone bridge and here is the Stradun which is a broad central boulevard lined by 17th-century buildings.

What you can see from the very well preserved City Wall walk?

To avoid the crowd, I started the walk from the Ploce Gate in evening and it took about 1.5 to 2 hrs to complete the walk leisurely.

You can reach here by cable car from old port or driving up a narrow mountain road to have an excellent top view of the city.







In Love with the amazing beaches on crystal clear Adriatic Sea

- St. Jakov 

It is a pebble and sandy beach with a tremendous view on Dubrovnik and the Lokrum island. As St. Jakov is a bit far from old town, it is less crowded and you can enjoy sunbathing there without being disturbed.




- Banje beach

If you want to save some walk and enjoy a more lively atmosphere, Banje is a good choice as it is the closest beach to the Old Town with stunning view of Dubrovnik Old port and walls. Also it is claimed to be the most attractive beach in Croatia.
