Dubrovnik is a beautifully preserved medieval city located in the south of Croatia. The old town is surrounded by two kilometers of long defensive walls, which are Dubrovnik's main attraction. Dubrovnik's old town, composed of polished limestone streets, houses, and palaces, is a pedestrian-only area and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The city's architecture is a stunning combination of Baroque, Gothic, and Renaissance styles. Some must-visit landmarks include St. Blaise Church, named after Dubrovnik's patron saint, and the Rector's and Sponza Palace. The city's main pedestrian street, Stradun, runs through the heart of the city. With a population of 43,000, Dubrovnik boasts top-notch hotels, pristine beaches, and breathtaking views. Although it may be more expensive than other parts of Croatia, it offers a unique experience worth every cent.
Visiting Dubrovnik is a must for anyone who loves to travel and explore different cuisines. As one of the oldest cities in Croatia, Dubrovnik has a unique culinary tradition that goes back centuries.
