Dubrovnik Guide

Located on the Adriatic Sea coast, the Croatian city of Dubrovnik is in the Dalmatia region of the country. The city has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is one of the most visited destinations in the Mediterranean. One of the most popular sites in the city are its walls which stretch for almost 2 km around the city. The walls are between 4 to 6 meters thick on the landward side but are much thinner on the seaward side. The defensive intentions of the wall are characterised by the system of towers and turrets. The city's walls have been a popular filming location for the HBO series Game of Thrones who use the walls as the location for the fictional city of Kings Landing. Also in the city is its Baroque cathedral which was built in the 18th century and contains an impressive Treasury with relics of Saint Blaise.

Dubrovnik's Ferry Terminal is located in the Kantafig area of Gruž bay roughly 3 km from the Old Town. All ferries to and from Dubrovnik arrive and depart from here. Destinations served by the port include Bari, Rijeka, Split, Stari Grad, Korcula and Mijet.

Rijeka Guide

The Croatian city of Rijeka lies on the northern coast of the Gulf of Kvarner and is the country's largest port and the third largest city in Croatia, after Zagreb and Split. The city has a thriving cultural and artistic centre and has some of the best attractions in the country. Perhaps the most popular landmark in the city, which managed to survive an earthquake that occurred in the middle of the 18th century, is the Clock Tower (Gradski Toranj) and was built as an ornate gateway between the seafront and the city. Other popular landmarks in the city include St. Vitus Cathedral which was built in 1638 by Jesuits in honour of the city's patron saint, and is one of the city oldest landmarks and has giant marble pillars that support its central dome. Both the Governor's Palace (Guvernerova Palaca) and the Municipal Palace (Palaca Municipija) add a regal flavour to the city, while the ancient Town Wall and Old Gate offer an insight in to the former grandeur of the city's fortifications. There are other buildings that survive from the 18th century but a large part of the city was rebuilt and adopted a distinctive style from the Austrian Habsburg period.
