Dubrovnik is a great city to visit on foot. For culture and history lovers, you will find centuries-old monasteries, churches, synagogues and even one of the oldest operating pharmacies in Europe and a fascinating destination. The Old Town of the Medieval Age is a walled city, and from above - you can walk the stretch from about 2 km to about 80 meters above ground level to enjoy spectacular views. Like the Italian cities, which are located just north-west, the old town of Dubrovnik is free of traffic and dotted with Renaissance churches and fountains, with a rich history as a commercial port. Instead of canals, you'll find narrow cobbled streets where pedestrians stroll from shop to shop, dine and drink in outdoor cafes and sunbathe. Dubrovnik is nestled in the south-western corner of Croatia, a country directly on the Adriatic Sea overlooking the east coast of Italy, below lies Bosnia and Herzegovina. The atmosphere is light and welcoming, due in large part to the beautiful setting of the Dalmatian coast, which can be enjoyed in one of the many boat trips offered by the port of the old town. The nearby beaches are also accessible; Many Excursions include cycling tours and wine tasting. The port is a pivot on the cruise routes of the eastern Mediterranean, scattered among the largest stops such as Athens, Venice and many Greek islands. Most Eastern Mediterranean cruises depart from spring until the fall, although the winter cruise is gaining popularity.
