Things to do in Dubrovnik

Fittingly dubbed the Pearl of the Adriatic, Dubrovnik's vibrant, gemstone-hued orange rooftops provide a splashy complement to the backdrop of the crystal blue sea. Walls dating back to the Middle Ages enclose the city's quaint UNESCO-protected Old Town, evoking the feeling of stepping inside a time capsule. Stroll Stradum, Dubrovnik's main thoroughfare to see famous sights and landmarks such as Pile Gate, the Franciscan Monastery (a veritable masterpiece of Romanesque-Gothic architecture), Onofrio's Fountain, the Old Port, Sponza Palace, St. Saviour's and more. Tiny picturesque beaches such as St. Jakov and Banje offer travelers to Dubrovnik the best of worlds: culture and history coupled with relaxaton and leisure.
