Three Flavors of Croatian Bliss
A Day in the Life in Dubrovnik Dubrovnik is one of the most prominent tourist destinations of the Mediterranean for good reason : The majestic Old City , the modern shopping boutiques and the endless views of the hypnotizing blue Adriatic all combine to create a city that is both classical and modern , a fairytale escape and cosmopolitan hub in the same breath . You ’ ll undoubtedly want to start your day exploring Old City ; its Renaissance palaces and churches are a holdover from its wealthy trading route days . The Stradun ( the main thoroughfare ) hosts some of the main attractions — the Franciscan Church ( a classically baroque monastery ); the regal Sponza Palace ( standing tall since circa 1500s ); and the Rector ’ s Palace , once the proud seat of Ragusa ’ s government .

Old City , Dubrovnik
All this sightseeing is bound to work up an appetite , and Dubrovnik ’ s seafood is naturally top notch . Plenty of high-end options are scattered both inside and outside the old walls ; black risotto and fresh oysters are the must-try dishes . Whether you spend the afternoon window-shopping at boutiques or people-watching from a café is up to you , but make sure to pause to watch the sun set over the Adriatic Sea . There ’ s no wrong vantage point for this , but a particularly inspired spot is at the top of the cable car , looking down on Old City below — watching the sunset blanket the traditional red roofs makes for a striking contrast to the deep blue of the Adriatic .
