Advantages: Fascinating Walkway through Medieval Dubrovnik Disadvantages: Can be Hard Work in July and August
Dubrovnik, a Unesco World Heritage Site, has now fully recovered from the bitter Serbian and Montenegrin siege of 1991-92 and has been restored to its former splendour. This remarkable former city-state has in its historic centre perhaps the most attractive and well preserved Baroque core of any European city, its swathe of churches, palaces and old stone houses neatly contained within the stone walls that have protected it for centuries. The city is sandwiched between a sweep of limestone mountains to the north and the azure waters of the Adriatic to the south. Lord Byron named it ' the pearl in the Adriatic,' and Bernard Shaw said, " Those that seek paradise on earth should seek it in Dubrovnik." Praskipark on numerous occasions has named this city as,' the jewel in Croatia's crown.' All great cities are described using cliches but ...
Advantages: magnificent view Disadvantages: you must climb a lot of steps
I visited Pension Stankovic, Dubrovnik in the spring of 2009. We spent tree days in Dubrovnik an

At the end we found the address and we parked in fornt of the house in front ...
Advantages: everything here is advantage Disadvantages: not too many places to go out after midnight
The legacy
"Freedom is not to be sold even for all the gold in the world", states the sign at the entrance of Lovrijenac, the monumental, self-supported fortress, raised upon a rock that is 37 meters high, above Dubrovnik Old Town. The fortress made in 14th century, though there are indicators it was made in 11th century, a true protector from invader attacks for centuries. The same statement was at the Libertas flag flown on ships from Dubrovnik on Argosy ships, a merchant ships also mentioned by Shakespeare. This is the politics of Dubrovnik ever since, even for today. Dubrovnik never was and never is a town and place that will trade freedom for gold. Invaded by many invaders through centuries the City of Dubrovnik always remains the same. While entire Balkan Area went through wars and always has been invaded by different invaders ...
