Our last stop on the tour was Vukovar. It's a little disconcerting at first that your ship often moves during the day while you're off on your adventures - if you go off on your own, listen to the instructions so you know where the ship will be docked and when!
We visited the Vokovar City Museum, which was an unexpected treat with everything from ancient artifacts to modern videos of the damage the war caused.

Set in the grand 18th-century Eltz Manor along the Danube, the Vukovar City Museum is a powerful symbol of both cultural heritage and survival. Once the home of the noble Eltz family, the Baroque palace was nearly destroyed during the brutal 1991 siege of Vukovar—but has since been beautifully restored. Inside, the museum tells two stories: the elegant, centuries-old life of the region’s nobility, and the more recent, raw story of war and resilience. You’ll find rooms dedicated to archaeological finds, fine art, folk traditions, and moving exhibits on the town’s near-total destruction and post-war rebuilding.Read more
