Why you'll love it
Dubrovnik is a walled city on Croatia's southern Adriatic coast, with marble streets, red roofs and clear blue sea. It scores 9 out of 10 for culture and romance, and 8 for beaches and safety, so it suits couples who want history and swimming in the same trip.
The best time to visit Dubrovnik is May to June or September, when the sea is warm and the old town is less crowded than in July and August. Arriving early in the day helps on cruise-ship days.
Walk the city walls, about two kilometres around the Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, ideally first thing in the morning. A short ferry reaches the green island of Lokrum, and the cable car up Mount Srd gives sunset views over the city.
Dubrovnik suits couples, culture lovers and anyone combining a city stay with the coast.
