5. Dubrovnik

Dubrovnik is the iconic Adriatic medieval walled city. In the middle ages, it flourished in maritime trading as the city-state of Ragusa and was rivaling Venice. During the Yugoslavian war, at the beginning of the ’90s, it was sieged for seven months and got severely damaged by artillery attacks. Today Dubrovnik is again insane pretty and manicured to limit that it’s almost too much. Just to top it off, there are beaches with the most crystal-clear water you can imagine, but screamingly cold. All this makes of course Dubrovnik the perfect tourist magnet and the stream of tourist buses also seems never-ending, but it is still possible to find adorable corners, without being run over by a sunburned tour group.
