The walled medieval city, island hopping and the bluest water in Europe.
Dubrovnik's Old City is one of the most perfectly preserved medieval urban environments in the world — the 2km city walls walk, the baroque churches and the Game of Thrones filming locations all justify the crowds. The key is going early morning or evening when the day trippers from cruise ships have gone.
The Dalmatian Coast extends north to Split, Hvar and Plitvice Lakes National Park — each completely different and each extraordinary. Croatia's island-hopping circuit is one of Europe's great summer itineraries.
The UNESCO Old City walls, baroque churches and Venetian-era buildings make Dubrovnik one of the most architecturally perfect cities in Europe.
The Dalmatian Coast sailing circuit — Dubrovnik, Hvar, Vis, Korčula, Brač and Split — is one of the world's great sailing itineraries.
