During last year's vacation, which my wife and I spent on the Peljesac Peninsula, we decided to go a little further south in Croatia and visit Dubrovnik.
We chose Srd Hill as the parking spot for our car.It's a hill in Dubrovnik that slopes down to the sea and towards the city center.
From the hill you can admire beautiful views of the Adriatic Sea, the urban part of Dubrovnik and the Dalmatian mountains.
When we arrived in the morning, there were a lot of clouds in the sky and it was clear that there was some rain, but it was distant and avoided Dubrovnik. After taking a few photos, we went on a several-minute walk down towards the city part.
As we were going down, the sun started to shine and it became pleasantly warm and the city took on a beautiful glow. The Old Town of Dubrovnik made a stunning impression on me. The city's magnificent, well-maintained historic architecture is truly impressive.
The Old Town is surrounded by walls and can only be accessed through one of several gates in the walls. After having a coffee at one of the cafes on the outskirts, we passed through one of these gates.
First, a short walk around the seaside, port part of the city.
It was morning, so the port was still relatively quiet, but the first visitors were already arriving.
We continued exploring the eastern part of the city and the monuments located there. It was already starting to get crowded.
It was finally time to visit the main part of the old town with the most popular monuments. I felt like I'd been transported to another era. The historic buildings here are in excellent condition. It's clear that care is taken to maintain the architecture.
In virtually every corner you can find something worth stopping for a moment, reflecting on, and admiring. We spent a few hours exploring and, satisfied, returned to Srd Hill, from where we set off on our way back to Kuciste, where we were staying overnight.
Returning to the parking, we again enjoyed the wonderful views.
Looking around the hill and towards the land, there's no indication that a crowded city is nearby. One might even get the impression that this is a wild mountainous region, and that nature rules these lands.
That's all from me today. Thank you for visiting and I hope you enjoyed your time here. I wish you all a nice day (or evening)!
