Dubrovnik has recovered from the war damage it suffered during the 1990s, and visitors have returned to this tranquil city. Nestled between the Adriatic and the Dinaric Alps, it’s an accessible and affordable city break for many European travelers. The pedestrian-only Old Town is especially charming.

Atelier Peridot is a small shop located within the City Walls, near the main street Stradun. Here you will find an exquisite selection of unique and traditional Croatian jewellery and handmade souvenirs. All jewellery is handmade in our workshop by an owner and her two daughters. They use a combination of semiprecious stones, Adriatic coral, silver and silver-plated metals. What makes this special is that all jewellery is customizable in front of you according to your needs and wishes! Visit or contact them. Buy local :)
This is a rare find... this is a family owned jewellery shop making necklaces, earrings and bracelets, for reasonable prices. They are able to customise pieces on the spot and have excellent customer service. We were delighted to find this place, and happy to find out that they have an online presence as well. Do visit (it would appear to mainly be open in the summer months).

An excavation on the site of the 'Gornji ugao' tower, in the north-west corner of the walled city of Dubrovnik, in Croatia, uncovered evidence for a foundry established in the second half of the 15th century and largely producing armaments. It is a rare example of this type of industrial site, and its position within the city walls makes it unique. Excavation has provided information on the technical subdivision and spatial logic of the site. Activity at the foundry ceased after the Great Earthquake in 1667, which devastated the entire city, although part of the site continued in use as a foundry, on a smaller and more improvised scale.
We really enjoyed our tour of the archaeological site of the old foundry and metal works of dubrovnik.to find it we entered the old town by the back Buza gate after coming down from the cable car and turned immediately right and climbed up some steps to the base of the Minceta tower.up a flight of steps is the entrance doorway.our tour took about half an hour and our guide was enthusiastic about his subject and explained how the site had been excavated, how the finds and evidence were pieced together and how it was connected to the history of dubrovnik and it was certainly a feat of engineering and ingenuity for it's time.The site is mostly underground as it has been covered over by a baseball pitch to protect it.Definitely great if you are interested in history/archaeology. Quirky and unique and something a little bit different!

Croatian Naive Art Gallery features artwork by some the finest painters within the Croatian Naive Art style, including Ivan Generalic and Ivan Andrasic, the most famous of them. Naive art is perceived as an oasis of true joy and poetic worlds, as everything in it is often structured as a harmonious whole; in naive art the emotional aspect is put before rationalism and intellectual speculation.

War Photo Limited is an exhibition centre of war and conflict photojournalism situated inside Dubrovnik's historic old city, spread over 2 floors the 350m2 (3800 sq ft) displays photographic exhibits by world renown photojournalists covering recent and ongoing regional and global conflicts. It is the intent of War Photo Limited to educate the public in the field of war photography, to expose the myth of war and the intoxication of war, to let people see war as it is, raw, venal, frightening, by focusing on how war inflicts injustices on innocents and combatants alike.
I visited this rate and unusual Museum that displays photographic exhibits by renowned photojournalists who covered recent and earlier regional and global conflicts. It's commendable that these photographers risking their lives and career captured such traumatic and frightening images from remote areas to sensitize the world about the futility and meaningless injustices that happened and continue to happen in this insane world. There is permanent exhibition of iconic images titled The End of Yugoslavia , photographs by Alfred Yaghobzadeh from Iran-Iraq war, special images and narration from Tim Page from NAM conflict. This is a must visit for any traveller who could understand how wars and violent conflicts lead too unimaginable human agony and why world deserve peace. There is admission ticket and photography is allowed inside.The brochure in english is quite informative. Located at the entrance of Antuninska in a lane at main street Stradan, not to be missed.

We were interested in the whole history of Dubrovnik - ancient and more recent events. Sobering to see how young these men were and comparing them to ourselves in the 90's brings it home.
