The Croatian walled city of Dubrovnik sits on a cape jutting out into the Adriatic Sea, in the far south of the country. One of the most frantic and most popular traveller destinations on the Adriatic coast, Dubrovnik has a thriving port and is now a respected UNESCO World Heritage site. Historically a major maritime trading centre, in the Middle Ages this striking town became the only Adriatic city-state to rival the might of Venice. Its great periods were during the fifteenth and 16th centuries, and a lot of the magnificence of those ages remains today.
Known as the 'Pearl of the Adriatic ', this entrancing city is a centre for travellers, with its impressive Old City stuffed with heritage architecture, forts, museums and palaces, their fantastic interiors a testimony to the wealth of the city. Protected still by its traditional city walls, Old Dubrovnik is a perfect destination for history buffs.
Both Catholic and Serbian Orthodox cathedrals and churches tower over the terracotta roofs of the old buildings and, when sightseeing gets knackering, Dubrovnik's pebble beaches and warm seas give a calming change of focus. Of note, traveller information is available at the city's numerous tourism outlets, with some of the most well liked being located at Gruz Harbor, along the Old Town's Ulica Svetog Dominika, and on the Setaliste Kralja Zvonimira, within the Lapad promontory.
Many appealing family beaches skirt the spur, with the most popular being fronted by resort-style hotels and tropical palm trees. The coastline around Dubrovnik comprises a diverse mix of Adriatic beaches, some sandy, others made of pebbles and little rocks. Situated on the eastern side of the Old Harbor, Banje Beach is conveniently close to the action and features great perspectives across the Old City. Connected by a coastal route, the Lapad beaches are particularly tasty, with their fine sand and seafood restaurants , while at the Sveti Jakov Beach you can take a turn at jet skiing and other fun water sports.

Considering its size, the sightseeing opportunities in Dubrovnik are great. When you first arrive in the city, a walking tour of the Old City comes highly recommended, being controlled by experienced guides and leaving every day from the Latino Club Fuego. If you wish to explore more at your leisure, then the Pile Gate is the best place to start, with lots of notable places leading off the Placa (Stradun) thoroughfare and regularly being of a spiritual nature. Some of the grandest include the Dubrovnik Cathedral (Katedrala Velike Gospe), St. Blaise's Church (Cvkva Svetog Vlahe), St. Ignatius Church and Jesuit University (Crkva Svetog Ignacija i Isusovacki Koledz) and St. Saviour Church (Crkva Svetog Spasa). The Jewish Synagogue (Sinagoga) is another noteworthy sight since it is one of Europe's most historic still in use. At the Sponza Palace (Palaca Sponza) you will find an grand Gothic and Renaissance-style cover, with a very important collection of manuscripts within the State Archives, with the oldest dating back just about 1,000 years.

Over the years, the city of Dubrovnik has led an engaging and frequently checkered life, being a major trade centre in the 12th century and a port town in the fifteenth century, enjoying much prosperity at these times. But disaster struck in 1667, when a fatal tremor nearly destroyed the city, with just the Rector's Palace and the Sponza Palace handling to remain standing. The city was subsequently rebuilt, although in a rather more uniform style and with much baroque architecture, and its trading powers quickly vanished. At the start of the 1990s, Dubrovnik hit the news reports when it was involved in the Yugoslavian war and many fine buildings were bombed. Today, all these landmarks have been fully revived to their former glory.
The fortified town walls enclosing the Old City add a big quantity of medieval character, being of grand proportions and originating from the thirtheenth century, although earlier walls were built in the 9th century to guard against barbarian invasions. As you walk around the walls you'll encounter the fortresses of Bokar, Lovrijenac, Revelin and St. John, whilst enjoying the city and seafront vistas. Other major landmarks worth spotting in Dubrovnik include the Town Bell Tower, the Onofrio Fountains, the Orlando Column and the St. Lawrence Fortress (Fort Lovrijenac), which dominates the western seafront and during the 11th century forestalled the Venetians from gaining power of the town.

Those on vacation in Dubrovnik and looking for information regarding its long and eventful history should head to the city's museums. The Ethnographic Museum (Etnografski Muzej), the Franciscan Priory Museum (Muzej Franjevackog Samostana) and the Maritime Museum (Pomorski Muzej) are 3 of the best, with the second celebrating the city's maritime heritage and located within St. John's Fortress. At the Dubrovnik Art Studio (Umjetnicka Galerija) are many examples of fine Croatian art works, accompanied by regular short lived exhibitions. The Museum of Modern Art (Muzej Suvremene Umjetnosti) is another good gallery option for culture buffs, with its bounteous recent masterpieces.

The incessant popularity of Dubrovnik as a vacation spot has rippled outwards to the encircling area, although fortunately mass tourism has yet to arrive around the area now known as the Dubrovnik Riviera. This Adriatic stretch is covered with attractions and day trip probabilities, with close by Zaton Bay being perfect for jaunts. Also within comfortable reach of the city is Mljet Island, where a lush nationwide park draws visitors. Just a comparatively short boat trip away is the small island of Lopud, belonging to the Elaphiti Islands archipelago and renowned for its gorgeous golden beaches, particularly those around the Bay of Sunj. Though too far for a short break to be practicable , a weekend break to the city of Split is well worth the effort, since Roman remains in Croatia don't come much more spectacular than its Diocletian's Palace.
