If you've been to Croatia and haven't visited Dubrovnik, it's like you haven't even been to this country. Apart from the well-known walls built between the 12th and 17th centuries, which were not breached by any enemy army, this city is also special in that it was always one step ahead of its time. In the 13th century, the Republic of Dubrovnik was one of the first to have a sewage system that is still in use today. As early as 1416, the Republic of Dubrovnik passed a law prohibiting the slave trade, and an orphanage in Dubrovnik was founded in 1432 as part of the monastery of St. Kláry and as one of the first such institutions in the world. If you walk through the beautiful center, the walls and sit in one of the wonderful cafes or restaurants, you can also go to the nearby island of Lokrum, the Srdj hill or the most popular Banje beach.
In addition to Dubrovnik, you will find many other exceptional places in the Dubrovnik-Neretva County. Komarna, the Pelješac peninsula, the island of Korčula, Ston, Slano, but also Mlini and Cavtat are definitely worth a visit.
If you decide to spend your vacation anywhere in the south of Croatia, you will definitely not regret it. Beautiful nature, magical beaches, friendly hosts, great services and world-famous gastronomy await you.
You also have Bosnia and Herzegovina nearby, so you can get to know the interior, beautiful lakes, rivers, waterfalls, and ancient cities. Add Počitelj, Blagaj, Mostar, Međugorje, Kravica, Koćuša, or Čeveljuša waterfalls to the list of must-sees.
