Dubrovnik, Croatia: The pearl of the Mediterranean

JANUARY 21, 2015 LOCATIONS VIEWS : 103

This museum city does not fail to astonish thousands and thousands of tourists
throughout the years. If you take a tour around the town you will be amazed by
every step. Its majestic appearance owes to fortifications with forts Bokar,
Lovrijenac, Mineta, Revelin and St. Johns with St. Lukes Tower. Do not miss a
chance to walk around these walls, to take a look at some magnificent and
picturesque landscapes. Take a moment and try to absorb the citys energy.

An important part of Dubrovniks heritage are Cathedral of the Assumption of the

Virgin Mary and church of St. Blaze (Sv. Vlaho). A proof how of much valuables
were in the cathedrals treasury is the fact that it was locked with three keys.
One was kept by the bishop, the other one by the rector and the last one by the
Republic secretary. The door could have been unlocked only when using all three
keys simultaneously.
After exhausting hours of sightseeing,
you can taste some of the delicious
Mediterranean food and wines from
nearby peninsula called Peljeac. These
wines are considered to be one of the
best in Croatia. Their exquisite taste
will complete your perfect impression
of this Mediterranean pearl.
While on vacation in Dubrovnik do not
forget to enjoy the sun and sea on some of the surrounding pebbly beaches.
Many hotel beaches are marked with the Blue flag and on the isle of Lokrum there
is a naturist beach.

The perfect time to come to Dubrovnik would be during Dubrovnik Summer

Festival, known worldwide musical and theatre festival. Off course, there is a lot
of concerts and other cultural events throughout the year, but mostly during
the summer.
The city never sleeps. It pulls you out with its vivid spirit and lures you to
experience its nocturnal magic. There is a lot of bars in Dubrovnik, some with live
music, which will seize the last bit of energy out of you.
