There is a reason why it is often referred to as the most popular city to visit in Croatia. There is a lot of exciting things to do in Dubrovnik, and if you thinking about visiting, you are in for a treat.
Dubrovnik is full of culture and history, and it is an old center for trading in the south of Croatia. The city in the south is placed right next to the Adriatic Sea which makes it very popular for tourists due to the lovely beaches and the hot temperatures.
The city is famous for its city walls, which you can see in the top picture, protecting the city.
Dubrovnik has a population of approximately 40.000 people, but in the tourist season, it is way more. It has gotten even more popular since it was used as a location for the popular tv-show Game of Thrones.
Dubrovnik was used to film Kings Landing, which is the capital of the Seven Kingdoms in Game of Thrones. Thus is the city walls even more interesting to visit, and maybe you can recognize some of the spots from the tv-show.
Dubrovnik is as mentioned a cultural city full of history, and if you visit the Old Town, you can create your own “guided tour”. Try the cable cars, visit the cathedral or go some of all the old fortress. There are a lot of nice things to see and do, and you can also see a huge Clock Tower in Luza square, which can be a great meeting place.
Many take the trip to Dubrovnik to go to the lovely beaches. If you are in love with watersport and like to sail, kayaking or diving, the clear blue water is also great for this.
If you like hiking in the green nature our last recommendation today is, that you take the trip to Lokrum Island. It takes only about 10 minutes to “escape” to this beautiful island which is only 600 meters away from Dubrovnik.
Here you can find some great hiking places in the forest.
