Dubrovnik - a Balkan Paradise

Dubrovnik is famous for being the location of Games of Thrones, but it's so much more than that. Dubrovnik Old Town is staggeringly beautiful with imposing towers, picturesque streets and a stunning view of the Adriatic Sea. The tourist traffic can be overwhelming during the summertime. I went there last April and the crowds were manageable. Food is expensive inside the Old Town (about 20euro per meal, ugh) but there are cheap eats when you venture out of the tourist hotspots. Go visit!#dubrovnik Getting There - you can join a cruise or fly into Dubrovnik. You can also travel overland from nearby countries (Bosnia & Herzegovina and Montenegro) Attractions - The lovely Stradun, Old City Walls and the resorts in Lapad Hotels - accommodations are kinda pricey Food & Restaurants - food is also expensive, but there are plenty of options. Have a gelato and pizza Shopping - The souvenirs inside Okd Town are frightfully expensive

Hidden corners in Old Dubrovnik 🇭🇷

Dubrovnik is a pearl of the Adriatic Coastline and you will understand this term as soon as you visit it. The old town is surrounded by massive walls and the panoramic views are filled with typical orange rooftops. This city will have you walk endless stairs, but you will certainly come back for more – that’s how beautiful it is. During summer, the sunset created amazing golden light for your photo and you will be able to capture the beauty of Dubrovnik. #tripblazers #mytripvlog #beachlife #urbanexplorer #awesomepic #summervacation

Heaven on earth…Plitvice Lakes National Park

We travelled around the world in 6 weeks and one of our favourite stop is Plitvice Lakes National Park. It is one of the oldest and largest national parks in Croatia. In 1979 Plitvice Lakes National Park was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list, due to its outstanding and picturesque series of tufa lakes, caves, connected by waterfalls. The national park is world-famous for its lakes arranged in cascades. Sixteen lakes can be seen from the surface. There are 7 walking trails that are split between the Upper and Lower Lakes of the National Park. We arrived late morning by car from Port of Split as it took 4 hours and were only able to do 2 walking trails. Despite only covering 2 routes, we had spectacular scenery throughout the walk and stopped to take lots of photos. I highly recommend arriving in Zagreb as it only takes an hour from there to Plitvice Lakes by car or bus. You will then have a full day to cover at least 4 walking routes without rushing and everywhere you walk, you would want to take your time to enjoy the picturesque waterfalls and cascading lakes.

Plitvice Lakes National Park

The Plitvice Lakes is the oldest and the largest national park in the Republic of Croatia. The exceptional natural beauty of this area has always attracted nature lovers. Plitvice Lakes are reachable on a day trip from Zagreb, Zadar and Split. However, we recommend spending at least one night in the area to allow you to experience everything the park has to offer. With this in mind, plan at least 2 days for visiting Plitvice Lakes National Park. Although visitors aren't allowed to swim in the lakes directly, just few kilometers north of the National Park, swimming is possible! If possible, spend at least one full day at the lakes to make the most of your day trip to Plitvice. Of course, it's also a good option if you can spend the night over, but visiting Plitvice in one day is doable The best months to visit Plitvice are June and September. Tickets can be purchased in advance at least 2 days prior to arrival. You can also buy your entry tickets at the Park, but with the risk that they will not be available because the number of tickets per hour is limited because of possible overcrowding. Lightweight clothing like T-shirts and shorts are a must as well as hats, sunglasses, and sunblock. Amazing day! #croatia #nature #adventure

[Traveling around Eastern Europe] Dubrovnik two-kilometer wall for three hours, I am right in the wall control. It feels more common to walk in the city, but finding a commanding height, such as a wall, a seaside fortress or a mountaintop, is completely another scene. The beauty of Junlin City needs to be seen from a height.

Traveling with American TV is also a good choice. Dubrovnik Raiders

Hvar day trip

Getting There - ferry: from Split to Hvar Attractions - Fortica Fortress (Tvrđava Fortica) Food & Restaurants - kava37 | Specialty Coffee Shop Hvar I stayed in Spilt and took a day trip to Hvar. Some of the tourists would go island hopping to several islands near Split and Dubrovnik. You can get the ferry ticket at the harbour. The return ticket is 240 KN (one way is 120 KN). The coffee shop is truly amazing that I recommend anyone who loves specialty coffee should’ve try it!

Hvar - Off the Beaten Path

Hvar is a well know Croatian Island right off the coast of Split. It has been inhabited for thousands of years, with its old city ‘Stari Grad’ celebrating its 2400 birthday as a town. 🏔Maybe people will flock to the party town of Hvar and sit at the hotels in front of a pool, but if you take the extra effort you could find some magical views. The little abandoned village of Malo Grablje sits on top of the Hvar mountain and has some gorgeous views of the north and south side of the island. I would recommend getting electric bikes if you are a beginner and cycle to the top. 🌿 Hvar is also known as the lavender island with fields planted on the mountains of Hvar. The resemble Thai mountain fields but with lava Dee. some of them are deserted and have turned into forest which makes it even for enchanting. All in all, you can’t go wrong with a bike ride around the island and especially on the mountain tops. Highly recommend for any nature lovers. 😁😁 #urbanexplorer #nature #camping#hiking#seafoodfeast#naturalwonders#nationalpark
