1. Dubrovnik
Croatia's jewel, Dubrovnik is absolutely magical! Its Old Town is truely stunning and an absolute must-see - it's easy to spend a couple of days exploring, walking the city walls, and visiting all the sights in and around it.

Dubrovnik does tend to get very crowded during the summer months - especially as it receives so many cruise ship passengers - so a citybreak trip outside the busiest of months is ideal. Alternatively, putting up with the crowds may well be worth it to see Dubrovnik!

There's a very wide variety of accommodation in Dubrovnik - from hostels, to private rooms to 5* luxury hotels. Some hotels have their own private beaches or swimming areas, whilst there are also public city beaches such as Banje if you fancy combining your sightseeing with some sea 'n' sun relaxation.

There's also plenty of opportunity to day trips to nearby islands - such as small island of Lokrum (which is very close), the Elafiti islands or Mljet, and other nearby resorts such as Cavtat. For the more adventurous amongst you, you can also take day-trips to the neighbouring countries of Montenegro and Bosnia & Hercegovina.
