An exquisite stretch of Adriatic Sea coast with azure blue waters and rocky headlands simply wasn’t enough for Dubrovnik, which had to throw in a mesmerizing walled Old Town into the mix for good measure. Recognizable to anyone who has watched Game of Thrones, Croatia’s Adriatic pearl never fails to disappoint, whether you stroll along the bastions built by the Venetians in the sixteenth century, wander along the pedestrianized shopping district, or head out onto the stunning waters which surround it for an alternative point of view of a city that has seen people coming and going for centuries.
