Dubrovnik in a nutshell: This walled city in Croatia is perched on the Adriatic coast- a prime location that made Dubrovnik the only threat to Venetian trade a few centuries ago. Today, Dubrovnik is a great mix of old city charm with modern day amenities, restaurants with amazing views, prime Game of Thrones shooting locations (and souvenier shops), many many stairs and perhaps even more stray cats. #dubrovnik #europetravel #croatiatravel #croatia
