Things to do in Dubrovnik
Today, Dubrovnik is one of the most famous cities in Europe. Unfortunately, that means that if you’re not careful, you’ll miss the charm and instead find hordes of tourists who have stumbled off a cruise ship and are looking more at their phones than at the history around them. Which is a shame, but not an inevitability. When I first visited Dubrovnik, it was years ago and only a few months after the end of the war. The beauty, then, was impossible to miss. Now, you need a plan. ~ Start early, with comfy shoes, to climb the city walls in peace ~ Don't miss Europe's oldest apothecary. Shelves of blue-glass bottles, handwritten prescriptions, and ancient remedies await behind glass. ~ Take a boat ride to Lokrum Island. It's a beautiful beach escape with Mediterranean pine forests and hiking routes. It also gives the best view of Dubrovnik when you take the boat back. #ThingstodoinDubrovnik #ExploreCroatia #Dubrovnik
