20 Things to do in Dubrovnik, Italy Travel Guide Video Transcript: (Grad Dubrovnik Hrvatska):
Is there a more visually stunning city than Dubrovnik? Nicknamed the Pearl of the Adriatic, this destination is sure to capture your gaze. Between it’s white limestone buildings, bright terracotta rooftops and cobalt blue waters that sparkle under the sunlight you'll be dazzled during your visit. This was the final stop of our travels in Croatia, and what a way to finish of our trip.
We walked up, down, and around the Old Town clocking thousands of steps each day, and in this video we’re going to take you on a tour of of the city and show you 15 things to do in Dubrovnik.
We entered the Old Town through Ploće Gate, which is in the east end of the city strolling along the Old Port. We explored the Old Town on foot visiting Dubrovnik Cathedral, which at one point was even funded by England’s King Richard the Lionheart, after he was saved from a shipwreck on the nearby island of Lokrum.
We wandered over to Gundulić Square where a few vendors had set up for the day to sniff out a few treats. We stopped at Big Onofrio Fountain, which was built in 1438 as part of a water system that supplied water from a spring 12km away.
Then, another attraction unexpectedly caught our attention: The Old Pharmacy at the Franciscan Monastery.
Founded in the year 1317, this in-house pharmacy was set up by Franciscan friars and would go on to service the town as well as people living beyond the walls. There’s still a pharmacy within the monastery today.
We tried to visit the Rector’s Palace, which was built in the late 15th century for the elected rector who governed Dubrovnik, but it was under renovation.
A sightseeing boat tour called the “Panorama Excursion” departed from the Old Port and went out around Lokrum Island.
We decided to eat at Mea Culpa, and ordered one Dalmatian Pizza and one Seafood Pizza.
It was time for the main attraction: walking around Dubrovnik’s Old City walls. Admission is 150 kuna for a 2 kilometres walk that takes about 1 hour to complete.
The first set of walls were built in the 9th century, and then in the 14th century these were strengthened with forts along the circumference. This attraction is worth the price tag. From here you can admire the all of the old town, gaze at the shimmering waters of the Adriatic, and look out to the neighbouring Lokrum.
After that quick ice cream break, we walked over to Fort Lovrijenac, also known as St. Lawrence Fortress.
Perched on a cliff 37 meters above the sea, this fortress dominates sea and land entrances from the western side of the city.
We made a stop at Buza Bar, which is great place for drinks anytime of day, but especially so around sunset. Gradac Park, was also used as one of the Game of Thrones filming locations, so you may recognize it from the Purple Wedding.
That’s a wrap for Dubrovnik and the rest of our time in Croatia! We hope this video gave you ideas of some of the things you can do in Dubrovnik on your own visit.
This is part of our Travel in Croatia video series showcasing Croatian food, Croatian culture and Croatian cuisine.

Dubrovnik Historic Town Gate to Gate Walking Tour〚
A late warm summer walk in Dubrovnik, Croatia from the East-Gate to the West-Gate. Click here ▶ to see highlights and guide.
The 'Pearl of the Adriatic', situated on the Dalmatian coast, became an important Mediterranean sea power from the 13th century onwards. Although severely damaged by an earthquake in 1667, Dubrovnik managed to preserve its beautiful Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque churches, monasteries, palaces and fountains. Damaged again in the 1990s by armed conflict, it is now the focus of a major restoration programme coordinated by UNESCO.
Even after these disrupting life events the city recovered to an excellent historic state. Old Town and its many sights (including the well-preserved city walls along which you can walk) is one of the top attractions here. The Old Town is also famous for both of the entrance gates, St. Blaise, or Jesuit Staircase from the Game of Thrones series, seen in this walking video!

Top best places to visit in Dubrovnik, Croatia
Dubrovnik is a walled city on the Adriatic Sea Coast of the south of Croatia.
Due to its exceptional beauty and rich history, this ancient town is considered to be the “Pearl of the Adriatic”. It is one of the most prominent tourist resorts of the Mediterranean and a World Heritage Site.
The City Walls are the biggest attraction. They run around the Old Town and they have a great view of Dubrovnik and the see.
There are four city gates, two of the major entrances are:
On the eastern side the Gate of Ploce, which is protected by the freestanding Revelin Fortress.
And on the western side, defended by Fort Bokar, the Gate of Pile.
From the Pile’s Gate and the Onofrio´s Fountain starts the central street of the old town, the Stradun. This representative place of the city leads to Luza Square.
One of the most impressive squares in town features:
Church of Saint Blaise, the City Hall, the Roland's Column, the Bell Tower and the Sponza Palace.
Next to Luza Square and the City Hall are situated: a museum dedicated to the city’s history, the Rector’s Palace and the impressive Dubrovnik Cathedral.
At the eastern part of Dubrovnik is located the Old Port. Despite the name it is still used by private citizens, as well as sightseeing tours and regular boat lines.
Inside the city walls there are a synagogue, a mosque, and a lot of churches, such as:
St Ignatius Church.
Or St Sebastian Church, and standing just behind it the Dominican Monastery and Museum.
One of the most important and well preserved historical sites of town is the Lazareti, an independent cultural center that brings together artists, philosophers and writers.
Dubrovnik has not only churches and museums but also beaches. From Banje Beach there is an amazing view to old town and the island of Lokrum.
Outside the walls was built an essential fortification to the defense of the city, St Lawrence Fortress.
The main purpose of its construction was to protect the freedom of people from ground and sea attacks, today it is a tourist attraction and theater.
To see the city from high up the best place to go is Minceta Tower, one of the most beautiful cultural attractions in Dubrovnik.

Once inside Miljet its pretty clear why its so popular and why its now a National Park. Theres swimming, hiking, biking, exploring, boats, an island with a Monastery and so much more. In the vlog we cover off some of the history and what makes Miljet so special!
Sail Croatia is known for it's Navigator cruise, it's more tailored towards the party vibe and younger crowds. We were so pleased to hear they also offer multiple other cruises and the Explorer cruise was right up our alley! See here for more details:

The Croatian islands was another dream of mine for many years, and it came true on exactly 3 months of life on the road. Fortunately I had heard of Vis island the day before I set off and picked the small town of Komiza to lay low and simply relax. After a 3 hour ferry ride from Split, I arrived in Vis town to catch a bus across to Komiza, a personal favorite of mine in all of Croatia. The town is small, quaint, and not full of tourists, the perfect place to relax and do nothing. My Airbnb was the most memorable, as it was on the third floor of and old building, with a window that opened out to the sea.
My next island was the town of Hvar on Hvar island. I personally wasn't too crazy about this town as it was really crowded with tourism. I stayed overnight in a cheap hostel in town, But because I'm so far from home, I did my best to appreciate it. In the morning before departure, I walked outside of town for a nice swim at a nearby beach.
My next island is the island of Korcula. After spending about an hour walking around Vela Luka, I made my way over to Korcula town, another personal favorite of mine. Korcula is an old fortified town that juts out into the sea with the backdrop of the Peljesac peninsula. This once Venetian city is said to be the birthplace of Marco Polo. With Summer officially in full gear, I took advantage of kayaking around Korcula and the nearby islets delivering amazing views and nice alone beach time.
On my final day concluding my second but not final voyage in Croatia, I took the ferry to Orebic on Peljesac, hitchhiked twice to Trpanj, caught a ferry to Ploce, and finally caught a ride to Mostar straight from the ferry.
I love Croatia!!!!

Montenegro Travel Guide
Hey Guys,
Today I'm kicking off 2017 with a video on the hidden gem that is Montenegro. This new country on the Adriatic coast is one of the new hot spots for the European summer party scene.
- Budva is the city you most want to visit
- Kotor is also very popular
- Land in Tivat or Podgorica
- Take a bus to Budva from either city or from neighboring Croatia
- Airbnb is recommended but you can also try Avala Resorts
- Stay near the Stari Grad (old town)
- Try karadjorjeva and ajvar to get unique Balkan food
- Ploce Beach is a must visit for day partying
- Trocadero and Top Hill are best clubs at night
- Visit Sveti Stefan beach
- Learn your Serbian. You might need it.
Rijeka's Beaches
Rijeka's beaches author: Valter Stojšić
Thanks to the Mediterranean climate, the bathing season in Rijeka begins in spring and lasts until late autumn. Two Rijeka beaches, Ploče and Kostanj are the proud owners of Blue Flags, the finest proof of the cleanliness of Rijeka's sea. The sea is clean and blue, the sun is drawn here and the beaches are numerous, diverse, large and noisy, small and secluded, pebbly, concrete, rocky, hidden...
With regard to the city location, Rijeka’s beaches are located to the far eastern and to the far western parts of the city. On the eastern side, at Pećine there are eight beaches, most of which are only a few minutes away from the city centre. On the western part, you can find your ideal beach from Kantrida to Preluk - there are five beaches on Kantrida, and if you do not like sea water you can take a swim and sunbathe in the Kantrida Pools, the largest and most beautiful swimming pool complex in Croatia. There are a whole series of larger and smaller beaches and bays from Bivio to Preluk, which are connected by a promenade with numerous facilities, from catering and sport amenities to parks for children located in the shade of the vegetation. These beaches are ideal for those who, besides sunbathing and bathing, enjoy sporting activities at the seaside too. Thanks to its very specific position and the wind that blows there, Preluk beach is famous and a favourite beach of surfers. Also, smaller, nameless beaches can be found here together with hidden bays and beaches for those who prefer being in a more secluded area. Some of them are only reachable from the sea.
City buses drive to all beaches. The beach can be found just a few minutes’ walk from the bus station and there is free car parking close to all the beaches.
