The thick 16th-century stone walls surround the entire old city of Dubrovnik. But there is no limit to the endless adventures that you will find between its orange-stained ramparts. With a made-for-TV appeal — the Game of Thrones was actually filmed here — the city attracts your attention with a fully protected Rector’s Palace, Onofrio’s Fountain, and the Baroque St. Blaise Church, named after the city's patron saint. You can browse museum collections showing Croatian artwork, period furniture, and shipbuilding traditions. Stand in awe of 30,000 editions of the Franciscan Monastery Library. Or, to get your heart pumping, dive into the sea or kayak across the crystal-blue waters shimmering in the distance with the ‘Pearl’ of the Adriatic — a highlight for many European Cruises exploring this region.
