Dubrovnik Attractions

Dubrovnik Pictures

Given its fascinating and varied past, it is no surprise that Dubrovnik is home to some of the most impressive historic buildings and attractions in Europe. Dubrovnik is actually categorised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to the importance of the city as a whole. One of the islands within the bay of Dubrovnik is particularly popular with visitors. The island of Lokrum is a wooded island spread over 72 hectares and is thought to be the place where Richard the Lionheart landed after he became shipwrecked in 1192. Attractions on the island include a monastery, a naturist beach and a botanical garden. Bosnia and Herzegovina are less than a 30 minute drive from Dubrovnik and make an interesting trip for anyone wanting to experience the true rural beauty of this area including pine forests, carp fishing and beautifully clear waters.
