1. Gornji Ugao Tower
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 482 reviews
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!

Peljesac Peninsula , a place where sun, sea and stone create a perfect home for Plavac Mali , indigenous Dalmatian variety that brings out the best from the "barren land" and gives us "divine nectar." Marlais family, that drags roots from France, settled on the peninsula in the early 17th century, bringing with them the knowledge that every Frenchman has in its blood - how to make good wine.

Anton gave us a tour of the facility and we got to see how the wine goes from harvest to bottling at the this family owned establishment. Anton was so personable and proud of his product. We had the 3 wine tasting menu with 1 white and 2 reds. All were excellent. If I could figure out a way to ship them to the US I would have bought a few cases. The carob Sherry was insanely good. I definitely recommend a stop at this winery.

We are so glad we booked this experience in advance. I don't think we would ever think back on our time in Croatia without remembering the time we spent at this winery as we had the best experience that was far beyond our expectations. This family have a huge history here and we loved learning all about it. Now we have a new appreciation for our wine in New Zealand as the forerunner to introduce wines to our country came from the Nobilo family, here in Lombardy. We have had many winery tours, this personalised one was the best. It was such a reasonable cost for delicious and generous wines and food.

Craft beer is still spotty depending on where you are in Europe, but Croatia seems to be embracing the trend, as they have a lot of craft brewers opening up shop. DBC is the first craft brewery in Dubrovnik, and it is conveniently located right across the street from the cruise terminal (literally a 5 minute walk back to the ship). It's a perfect way to end the day after walking the walls and getting some local grub. We showed up right at 4pm when they were to open, and the bartender was a bit late opening up shop (though he knew we were American because we expected them to be open at 4...haha). Their beers are all enjoyable, with the best of the bunch being the special New England style IPA they had on draft (a collab with another local homebrewer, brewed with local citrus). Their lager was also a group favorite. The best beer they had on draft was a barrel aged porter from that same collab brewer. It was excellent! If you're a beer nerd, don't expect world-class offerings. With that said, none of the beer was even remotely disappointing. The bartender was really friendly and informative too. People of Croatia learn English in school, so there wasn't any type of language barrier. The conversation was great, and he even sent us off with a few unexpected complimentary souvenirs from our visit. Such a nice, chill environment to spend an hour or two. We will definitely go back when we return to the area. As a note, they don't have food available but I believe they are OK if you bring food in to enjoy with a beer. Don't quote me on that though.

Far and away our favourite vineyard visited. Run by a really friendly husband and wife whose have owned the vineyard for generations. Great spot, great view, great wine and great hosts, basically everything you need. We took the water taxi from Korcula old town and a lovely 25 min walk through the countryside to get there.

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 toured the villa on a wine tour from Dubronick and fell in love with everything ... the views, wine, service, property and location. I mentioned to my husband that I really wish we could have planned to stay and he surprised me by rearranging our stay to end our vacation at this dreamy location! We can’t say enough about the staff, the service, the food, the wine , the property and attention to detail. You wish for something , they make it happen ! They orchestrated three amazing dinners for us including a wine cellar with candles and another outside watching the sunset on the sea with candles and twinkle lights . I can honestly tell you, We didn’t want to leave ever and I even had my husband extend our stay another day . The attention to detail is so noteworthy esp the personal attention every step of the way including the executive chef , Ante, meeting with us each morning to plan creative meals together! His creations are art and taste even better ! They make everything look easy and treat you like a king and queen . Marianne and her team are outstanding ! We stayed in the owners suite and I highly recommend that experience !!! Wow ... the views and detail are amazing ! Highly recommend it ! Lee Anderson the owner did everything right with his vision . The wine is spectacular and we can’t wait to have it represented in our wine room . We will never ever forget this experience and can’t wait to go back !! The views, smells , people and feeling we felt will be with us always ! Thank you team villa for breathing life back in our souls and feeling so at home in your beautiful villa! We are ready to come back already ... you will see us soon !

This church is steeped in history and still bears the scars of the nineties Bosnian War. A visit here is a good starting point to explore the hilly back streets of the town to discover old limestone houses and high level views across the Adriatic.
