Founded in the 7th Century, Dubrovnik is an old city in southeastern Croatia, located on the Dalmation coast of the Adriatic Sea. A historic and picturesque town, Dubrovnik has long been known as a major tourist resort. The town faces the sea at the foot of rugged limestone mountains and is notable for its medieval double wall and fortifications along with historical buildings.Dubrovnik is an amazingly beautiful city, with many islands around it. The old town is free of traffic and full of narrow cobblestone streets and alleyways with restaurants and shops. It is possible to walk the 2km along the top of the wall that surrounds the city.
After exploring the walled town, we took a local ferry to one of the islands and spent a lot of the day there, exploring and swimming.
Later we took the cable car to the top of the mountain and had a great view of the city and the surrounding mountains.
Most of the town was destroyed by bombs, in the Croatian War of independence in the early 1990s. They did a fantastic job of rebuilding the city.
