Dubrovnik visit with family

Submitted by on 14. February 2008 – 01:22No Comment

One of our absolute favourite cities here in Croatia is Dubrovnik; we have visited the city numerous times, both privately as well as professionally, and every time we have great time in this historical pearl.

Historically Dubrovnik has always been very special; in the times where the city was a republic it had a very interesting, political system where the major / Senator was elected for a period of one month, this was done to avoid corruption and keep focus on working in the interest of the republic.

Meanwhile Dubrovnik has regained its position as one of the major tourist spots in Croatia, the old town of Dubrovnik has been completely rebuild after the heavy bombing during the Balkan war, where only visible evidence left is the many new red roofs tops in the old town.

One thinks which you can not miss out on visiting Dubrovnik is a walk on the up 6 meter wide walls surrounding the old town, from the wall you have amazing view on the old town. The walk on the wall takes 2-3 hours.

Normally we are driving by car to Dubrovnik from Split, which takes around 4 hours, but last year we tried once to take the local ferry line, which is a 9 hour trip with stops on the Island Hvar and Korcula, the trip is extremely beautiful, so we can only recommend that.
