5. Dubrovnik Highlight: Day Trips

Dubrovnik is not just ideal for a short city trip, but also a perfect starting point for day trips to nearby destinations. You can easily rent a car and set out to explore places just like Mostar, Herceg Novi or even the stunning Bay of Kotor.

6. Dubrovnik Highlight: Culinary delights

We all know the great Croatian cuisine with its fish and fresh seafood. Also, we could rave about it for hours. Of course, there are many opportunities to enjoy the cuisine right in the middle of the port city of Dubrovnik.

In the more rural area outside the city, you will come across many of the so-called "agriturismi". These are smaller family businesses that offer a limited but very fine selection of regional meals, mostly using home-grown vegetables. Wine lovers will find the perfect, matching wine for each meal from the wide wine selection Croatia has to offer.
