Balkan car trip 🚘

The city center is truly beautiful, with its narrow streets and the large central street that divides the town in two.
The city is full of Northern European and British tourists, who come here to enjoy a weekend between sun and sea. Among the cities visited so far, it is certainly the most popular destination among Europeans.

The city attracts above all high-level tourism (we can consider it as the Taormina of Croatia), as demonstrated by the relatively elegantly dressed tourists and the quite high prices.

The city and the port are dominated by the fortress of San Lorenzo that has defended the city for centuries.

Dubrovnik has a very long history but it is famous in particular for the prosperous Maritime Republic of Ragusa.

In 1991 this city was also hit by Balkan war when Serbian/Montenegrin forces bombed the historic center causing enormous damages and then put the city under siege.

The city today develops climbing the mountains around the famous city center and the port. For this reason, to reach our apartment in the higher part of the city, we had to face a long and steep staircase.Weiterlesen
