From the terracotta-topped buildings to the glittering sea below, Dubrovnik will enchant you from the moment you arrive.
What's good about it? A historic jewel, Dubrovnik is one of the most perfectly preserved walled towns in Europe with 12th-century medieval streets.
Best for: From the terracotta-topped buildings to the glittering sea below, Dubrovnik will enchant you from the moment you arrive. Dubrovnik's Old Town, encircled by intact, monumental stone ramparts, has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Ascend the walls to view the gorgeous Minceta Tower, St John Fortress and Bokar Fortress.
Best time to visit: Go in autumn for hiking and cycling, or in summer if you prefer salty and sun-kissed sailing, swimming or kayaking. The warmer summer months of July and August attract hordes of tourists and the days can be quite hot.
Getting there: Viking offers a variety of Mediterranean cruises that call on Dubrovnik: the 29-day Mediterranean's Iconic Shores from Istanbul to Barcelona and the 13-day Mediterranean Odyssey from Barcelona to Venice to name two.
