Once you find yourself on the South of Croatia, it would be a pity not to visit Dubrovnik.

When talking about Dubrovnik, it is not just a touristic destination but a real gem which has a breathtaking culture legacy you have to see by yourself. Take a walk on the City walls with forts, have lunch on the beautiful squares or take a one-day trip to island of Lokrum.
