Dubrovnik for a weekend
Dubrovnik is a beautiful place with plenty of things to do. I only went there for 2 days but thought I would need at least one more day to really enjoy the place. The cable car is definitely worth doing (there is an interesting museum about the Homeland War) and the City Walls offer a great view over the city and the sea. I went to the Lokrum island and found it was a nice escape into nature. You can swim there and walk in the forest to discover the botanic garden, Fort Royal and a monastery.
Insider Tip:Unfortunately the downside is that Dubrovnik can get overcrowded with tourists. I would recommend to avoid going there during summer (I was there in May and it was already quite busy). Restaurants and bars are not so cheap in the city centre but once you get out of the touristy area, prices are more reasonable. In some places coffee costs more than a slice of pizza!
