Dubrovnik’s old city has been an important port since the 13th century. And while it has been damaged by earthquakes in 1667 and again in the 1990s, thanks to restoration and repairs the city continues to stand. It has beautiful Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque churches, palaces and buildings. It is a walled city which is surrounded by the beautiful Adriatic coast. It can be reached by either flight or cruise, and is a perfect start to your Croatian adventure.
