Dubrovnik Insider Tip

Walk the city walls at opening time (8 AM) to beat the cruise ship crowds. The Old Town is pedestrian-only โ€” wear comfortable shoes on the marble Stradun which gets slippery when wet.

Hvar Insider Tip

Hvar town is car-free. Take a water taxi to the Pakleni islands for secluded swimming spots the tour groups miss. The fortress above the town offers the best views at golden hour.

๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡ท Dubrovnik Fun Fact

Dubrovnik was the first state in the world to officially abolish the slave trade โ€” in 1416, over 400 years before the British Empire. The city-republic of Ragusa prided itself on freedom ('Libertas') above all.

๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡ท Hvar Fun Fact

Hvar is one of the sunniest spots in Europe with over 2,700 hours of sunshine per year โ€” and has been cultivating lavender since the 14th century. The island's lavender fields bloom purple every June.
