Dubrovnik
The walled 'Pearl of the Adriatic', its ramparts above a sapphire sea.
About Croatia
Walled Adriatic cities, waterfall lakes and island sailing
Croatia strings its wonders along the dazzling Adriatic — the honey-stone walls of Dubrovnik, the cascading turquoise lakes of Plitvice, Diocletian's living Roman palace in Split, and the lavender-scented islands of Hvar and beyond.
Walk the city ramparts at golden hour, sail between hidden coves, lose yourself in marble old towns, and feast on fresh-grilled Adriatic seafood — Mediterranean Europe at its most beautiful and best value.
Local Culture
Croatian culture blends Mediterranean, Central European and Slavic threads — a love of the sea, café life and klapa harmony singing. Roman and Venetian heritage shapes the coast's marble towns, while olive oil, wine and slow-grilled peka anchor a relaxed coastal way of life.
