Ancient Roots. Croatia’s rich history stretches back to the 6th Century in a story that unfolds enticingly as you explore its traditions, architecture, and food. Wander along the medieval walls of Dubrovnik Old City – a UNESCO World Heritage Site otherwise known as the “Pearl of the Adriatic” – and be transported back to when Dubrovnik was a powerful maritime city.
In summer, Dubrovnik becomes a vibrant open-air stage for its annual Summer Festival, where theatre, music, and dance performances are set against the city’s grand backdrop. Early booking ensures you’ll have a seat at this unmissable spectacle. Stroll down Dubrovnik’s iconic limestone-paved Stradun, the divider of the Old Town, which connects the Pile Gate to the Old Town’s port. From here, hop on a scenic ferry to Croatia’s other cultural jewel, Split, which is home to the Diocletian Palace, built by the Roman emperor Diocletian in the 3rd Century AD. Just a quick walk away stands the Pula Arena, one of the world’s best preserved Roman amphitheatres, which plays host to some of the world’s greatest musicians.
