Dubrovnik - The Pearl of the Adriatic Sea

Dubrovnik, auch bekannt als “die Perle der Adria”, ist zweifellos eine der schönsten Städte Kroatiens. Von einer imposanten Stadtmauer umgeben, beeindruckt die historische Altstadt mit ihrer Architektur aus vergangenen Jahrhunderten. Besucher können durch enge, malerische Gassen schlendern, den beeindruckenden Onofrio-Brunnen bewundern und die berühmte Stadtmauer für einen Blick auf die Altstadt und das azurblaue Meer nutzen. Ein großes Reise-Highlight ist eine Fahrt mit der Seilbahn auf den Berg Srđ, von wo aus man ein Panoramablick auf die gesamte Stadt und die umliegende Küste genießen kann.
