Dubrovnik (Croatia)
POP 30,000
Why Go?
Why have we included a Croatian city in a book on Montenegro? The first reason is prac-
tical: many travellers to Montenegro fly into Dubrovnik airport, which is, after all, only
17km from the border. More importantly, it seems inconceivable that you'd come this
close and not visit one of the most beautiful cities in the entire Mediterranean, if not the
world. Its proximity to the Bay of Kotor makes at least a day trip practically obligatory.
Dubrovnik is simply unique. It leaves many speechless: its beauty is bewitching, its set-
ting sublime. Regardless of whether you are visiting Dubrovnik for the first time or the
hundredth, the sense of awe when you set eyes on the remarkable Old Town, ringed by its
mighty defensive walls, never fades. Indeed it's hard to imagine anyone becoming jaded
by the city's marble streets, baroque buildings and the endless shimmer of the Adriatic.
