What to SeeGeorge Bernard Shaw baptised Dubrovnik "the pearl of the Adriatic" because of its incomparable architectural heritage. The gleaming marble streets of Dubrovnik are lined with baroque buildings punctuated by beautifully sculpted Renaissance fountains and facades. Dubrovnik's walls are the most intact and impressive in the Adriatic and clearly head the long list of Dubrovnik's sights. No wonder UNESCO named Dubrovnik a World Heritage Site! What to DoBut Dubrovnik is more than a fascinating Old Town with an ancient history. It's also a first class Adriatic resort. Stretching out from the historical centre is a network of beaches to laze away the day in the sun. Offshore, the crystal-clear sea is littered with wooded islands that make easy day trips. And the array of cafes, bars and clubs in and around the Old Town insure that Dubrovnik at night is never dull. So plunge in! Travel TipDubrovnik has become a vital stop on Mediterranean cruises which is great for the cruising public but not so great if you're trying to push your way through a narrow street from April to October. Try to arrange your Dubrovnik sightseeing early in the morning before the cruise ships discharge passengers or late afternoon after they return to the mother ship. Dubrovnik Travel Planner
