Dubrovnik

Wow, wow, wow! Dubrovnik is beautiful! The coast line is unbelievably picturesque and the old town is the prettiest I have ever seen. The locals are very friendly and everyone speaks English. Our Airbnb host was the best host we have ever had, she walked us around the neighborhood and pointed out which restaurants to eat at, where to catch the bus and what sights to see. What a great way to start our Croatia adventure.

The city is well maintained and one of the cleanest I’ve seen, which is amazing with all the tourist traipsing around. The roaring winds erupted on our beach day so we spent the day walking the beautiful coastal path which was an experience of engulfing nature at its finest.

Now for the bad part, Dubrovnik is definitely a tourist spot. The crowds at times can be unbearable and the cost of everything is high. The taxes on food and liquor at the restaurants is a whopping 28%, (that cost is included in the menu price so you know ahead of time what to expect). I don’t think this is a place I would want to stay for any great length of time, but it is a must visit city.

Old Town Dubrovnik and its magnificent walls also provide the setting for King’s Landing in Game of Thrones.
