Known as the pearl of the Adriatic, ancient Dubrovnik is one
of the most attractive and acclaimed cities in Europe and
listed as a UNESCO World Heritage. With its surrounding,
outstanding natural beauty, well-preserved cultural and
historical heritage and mild climate, Dubrovnik is equally
attractive to visitors whatever the season. Tourism in
Dubrovnik began already before the First World War and the
city, with its unique character, quickly became an
international tourist magnet.
Dubrovnik’s main historic
feature is almost 2 km of intact walls encircling the old
city. This complex structure, one of the most scenic and
strongest fort systems in Europe, is the main attraction for
visitors. Five fortresses, St. Lawrence and Revelin,
together with the Minčeta Tower, Fort Bokar and St. John's
Fortress incorporated into the protecting walls afford
unforgettable views over this magnificent city on the
Adriatic Sea. Discovering Dubrovnik and all it has to offer
will take several days.
