Dubrovnik (Croatia) Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about destination Dubrovnik in Croatia.
Within the southernmost archipelago of Dalmatia is one of the most fascinating harbour cities of the young republic of Croatia, Dubrovnik, a breathtaking Mediterranean city with a great history. The city of stone had its heyday in the Middle Ages and was one of the most important economic and cultural centres in the Mediterranean. An ancient courtyard gate leads to the Old Town and to Luža Square, the city’s main square that contains a fine clock tower and splendid palace Loggia. The sixteenth century Sponza Palace consists of a combination of designs, including both Gothic and Renaissance, and once contained the Customs House and Mint. Despite much foreign rule, the city largely succeeded in being autonomous. Velika Gospa Cathedral was built between 1672 and 1713 on the ruins of a Romanesque basilica. According to legend, Richard The Lionheart was shipwrecked in the city on his return from the Third Crusade and his financial donation made it possible to build the city’s first church. From the thirteenth century the city was fortified with powerful walls that now rank among the largest, and also the most beautiful, in the whole of Europe. Dubrovnik is, amazingly, still a storybook city with all the flair of the Middle Ages. A treasure trove of history and undisputed Pearl Of The Adriatic.

Places To See in Croatia and Bosnia Herzegovina | Cultural Trip - Pleternica and Tomislavgrad
In 2018 I was invited to present a travel film about places to see in Croatia and Bosnia Herzegovina. We visit the two towns of Pleternica and Tomislavgrad following the cultural route of Becharac and ganga which are traditional forms of singing protected by UNESCO.
Ther is horse riding, motorbike scrambling, boating, caving and lot s of food and drink!
Projekt prekogranične suradnje pod nazivom „Kulturna ruta bećarca i gange“, kojeg su uspješno prijavili Grad Pleternica (RH) kao nositelj projekta i Općina Tomislavgrad (BiH) kao partner
u projektu. Cilj projekta je oživljavanje nematerijalne kulturne baštine bećarca i gange koja će postati kulturno-turistička atrakcija ovih destinacija, popraćena jedinstvenom turističkom infrastrukturom, Izgradnjom Trga Bećarca u Pleternici i Šetnice Bećarca u Pleternici te izgradnjom Trga Gange i Hajducke družine u Tomislavgradu i istoimene šetnice.
Projekt je financiran iz Programa Interreg IPA prekogranična
suradnja Hrvatska-Bosna i Hercegovina –Crna Gora 2014.-2020.
The common challenge is to establish a permanent, high-quality tourism destination management based on the valorization of cultural heritage. The project approach in addressing the common challenges is the development of cultural heritage based on Becharac and Ganga – the forms of folk songs protected by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage. Both towns have protected the names Becharac Museum in Pleternica and Ganga Museum in Tomislavgrad as intellectual property (label) and as such are unique in CRO and BiH. This excellent foundation for the restoration and preservation of cultural and historical heritage is also an ideal opportunity to develop cross-border tourism and cultural events.
The project is funded by Interreg IPA Cross-border Cooperation Programme
Croatia-Bosnia and Herzegovina-Montenegro 2014.-2020.

In this brief video you can find seven little known facts about Croatia. Split, Pula or Dubrovnik are top holiday destinations today, and Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, is a cosmopolitan European city. The sign of the Yugoslavian War are long gone and if you want to travel to Croatia you won’t be disappointed.
More information about the video content bellow:
1. There are more than 1,000 islands and islets in Croatia, and only 50 are inhabited. The country has more than 3,500 miles of coastline – though it is broken north of Dubrovnik by Bosnia and Herzegovina’s 15-mile stretch, the shortest coastline in the world.
2. From 1358 until its capture by Napoleon in 1808, the walled city of Dubrovnik was the centre of a city-state known as the Republic of Ragusa. Despite its small size, it was a trading power and became a centre of learning and culture during the Renaissance. Dubrovnik was also used as the set for King’s Landing, the capital city of Westeros from HBO’s popular TV show Game of Thrones.
3. The Museum of Broken relationship is one of its kind and it is in Zagreb. It is basically a display of love gone wrong. Its exhibits include personal objects left over from former lovers, accompanied by brief descriptions.
4. The necktie has its origin in Croatia (in Croatian: Kravata, English: Cravat, French: Cravate, German: Krawatte, Italian: Cravatta, Spanish: Corvatta) and that the word cravat came from the word Croat (Hrvat in Croatian); so called because worn by Croats in the French army during the Thirty Years' War. In their own way, with the cravat, the Croats have started conquering the world from the coasts of the Adriatic Sea from 17th century. The consequences of that conquering are today felt around the necks by millions of men worldwide.
5. On the island of Susak, the women hold the title for having the only national costume that sits above the knee in Europe.
6. Constructed by Ivan Lupis Vukic in Rijeka Istria in the 19th century was the worlds first torpedo.
7. Croatia was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire until the close of World War I in 1918, Croatia then joined Serbia and Slovenia to form the Kingdom of Jugoslavia. Post World War II, Yugoslavia became a federal independent Communist state. Croatia declared independence from Yugoslavia in 1991. It was from then the Homeland war began with Serbia lasting four years.

RECTOR'S PALACE EN
One of the loveliest buildings in the city and the seat of the Rector, the figurehead of the Republic elected within the nobility, whose term lasted for just one month confining him to these quarters which he could only leave on official occasions and religious holidays. The building changed its appearance after two explosions of gunpowder stored here, and its current appearance is mainly thanks to the renaissance designs. Inside, a beautiful courtyard is the venue for recitals and concerts. The palace is now a Cultural History Museum.

The Interesting Split Ethnographic Museum
Tourists usually bypass the very engrossing Split Ethnographic Museum because of limited sightseeing time. We, however, spent four days in Split and sightsee like we talk...Fast! The Ethnographic Museum is also free with the Split Card which certainly helps.
A person could probably spend most of a day inside. We zoomed through spending the most time looking at firearms, jewelry, clothes and, believe it or not, the Grandfather chairs. Visit if you have the time...

산 정상에 위치한 낡은 벽돌 무더기다. 대체 무엇일까? 지난 시절 우리 기억 한편에 남아있는 발칸 반도 전쟁을 기념하는 곳이다. 입구를 따라 지하로 내려가니 거대한 전시물들이 순례객들을 기다린다. 비극의 역사는 반드시 자취를 남기는 법이다. 그날 이곳에선 대체 무슨 일이 있었던 걸까? 탈냉전 시대 이후 벌어진 가장 참혹한 전쟁으로 알려진 유고 내전, 이시기에 아름다운 두브로브니크 도시의 상당 부분이 파괴됐다. 폐허가 된 시가지에서 외세에 맞서 총을 든 젊은 병사, 인종과 민족 간 분쟁으로 유혈이 낭자한 도심은 절망으로 가득 찼다. 무고한 시민들의 희생이 잇따랐고 특히 전쟁 중 희생된 어린이들의 사연은 세계인들의 가슴을 울렸다. 전쟁의 광풍이 몰고 온 소중한 인명 손실은 이곳 시민들에게 커다란 상처를 남겼다. 유네스코가 ‘사라질 위기에 처한 세계문화유산’ 리스트에 두브로브니크를 올려놨고 이후 도시는 재건됐다. 그래서 두브로브니크는 가장 아름다운 세계 문화유산인 것이다. “언젠가는 국가의 위상을 지켜야 할 시간이 오는 것 같습니다. 크로아티아에게는 이런 전쟁이 20여 년 전에 일어난 거죠. 이러한 역사를 통해 교훈을 얻고 다시는 전쟁이 일어나지 않길 바래야겠죠. 아름다운 도시가 있는 나라거든요. 미국인들뿐만 아니라 세계 어떤 나라 사람이든 크로아티아에 한 번쯤 와봤으면 좋겠습니다. 전쟁이 다시 일어나지 않았으면 좋겠습니다” 전쟁 박물관을 둘러보고 내려오며 다시 바라본 시가지. 아름다움과 과거의 아픔이 교차하는 이 도시에 다시는 참담한 비극이 일어나지 않기를 기원해 본다.

It is a bunch of old bricks on the top of the mountain. What's the alternative? It is a place to commemorate the Balkan Wars that remained in our memories of the past. We go down to the basement along the entrance and huge exhibits wait for the pilgrims. The history of tragedy is a must to trace. What the hell was going on here that day? A large part of the beautiful Dubrovnik city of this time, the Yugo civil war, known as the most devastating war since the Cold War era, was destroyed. In the ruined city area, a young soldier with guns against foreign powers, a city of bloodshed with racial and ethnic conflict, was filled with despair. The sacrifices of innocent civilians followed, especially the stories of children who were victims of the war. The precious loss of life that the winds of war drove has left a big hurt to the citizens here. Dubrovnik was listed on UNESCO's list of World Heritage sites in crisis, and the city was rebuilt. So, Dubrovnik is the most beautiful world cultural heritage. Someday I think it's time for me to keep my country's status. For Croatia, this war happened about 20 years ago. Through this history, we should learn lessons and hope that war will not happen again. It is a country with a beautiful city. I would like to see some people in Croatia as well as Americans. I hope the war will not happen again. I looked around the war museum and saw it again. I pray that no terrible tragedy will ever happen again in this city where beauty and pain of the past cross.

CROATIA: DUBROVNIK: US COMMERCE SECRETARY RON BROWN REMEMBERED
English/Nat
Exactly one year ago U-S Commerce Secretary Ron Brown and 34-members of a U-S trade delegation died in a plane crash near Dubrovnik in Croatia.
In the city, many remember Ron Brown and the hope his mission brought.
Relatives of some of the victims visited the seaside resort to attend the opening of a memorial gallery at the heart of the medieval Croatian city.
As the band played, people gathered on the square at the heart of the picturesque Croatian city of Dubrovnik.
Croatia's Prime Minister Zlatko Matesa, U-S Ambassador Peter Galbraith and relatives of some of the victims joined the crowd.
They came to attend a service commemorating the death of U-S Secretary of Commerce Ron Brown who was killed in a plane crash near Dubrovnik last year.
Brown's plane was two miles (three kilometres) off course when it crashed into a mountainside during a thunderstorm.
An Air Force general and a colonel were reprimanded following the crash.
It was the first post war trade mission and for many in Dubrovnik, the visit of the American delegation was a symbol of hope and peace.
The American ambassador said the dedication of a building in the centre of the city as a memorial gallery was a sign of how much Brown's mission had meant.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
Secretary Brown and his party were on a trade mission, but it wasn't a mission just about business.
SUPER CAPTION: Peter Galbraith, U-S ambassador to Croatia
Galbraith said Brown's mission had been part of the push towards peace in the region.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
It was a mission about translating the peace that was on paper signed in Dayton and the separate one that was signed in Erduk into reality on the ground
SUPER CAPTION: Peter Galbraith, U-S ambassador to Croatia
The Mayor of Dubrovnik unveiled a plaque in memory of Ron Brown outside the cultural centre.
Croatia's Prime Minister, Zlatko Matesa, said a cornerstone of the Dayton peace agreement, including the Brown mission, was economic development and prosperity for all.
Matesa also said the trade mission was perceived as part of the overall efforts of the U- S government and President Clinton in the Balkans.
Dubrovnik - classified as an historical monument by UNESCO - suffered much damage during the war.
After the crash, the city's council decided to dedicate the new cultural centre to the man who had faith in the economic prosperity of Dubrovnik.
A priest blessed the building before relatives of the victims entered the centre.
The Ron Brown Memorial building hosts a permanent exhibition of three Croatian artists and will be promoting other young artists.
The memorial will also take an active part in the organisation of the Dubrovnik summer Festival and the cultural events around it.

Metković in 4k | Croatia / Kroatien / Neretva Valley / near Dubrovnik
Metković - the second largest town of Dubrovnik-Neretva County
Welcome to Metković dear traveler, the second largest town of Dubrovnik-Neretva County and the administrative, economic and cultural centre of the Neretva Valley. You will find the beautiful town Metković in the valley of the Neretva River, which opens towards the sea. Such a unique location offers great possibilities for enjoying your vacation.
Brief history of Metković
Metković was first depicted on a map in 1570 by Venetian cartographer Jacopo Gastaldi. The 15th and 16th centuries were characterized by conflicts between the Turks and the Venetians. The Treaty of Požarevac in 1718 determined the border between the Turkish Empire and the Venetian Republic. After this the Venetians destroyed and abandoned Gabela and founded a new port on the River Neretva, in today's Metković.
When Metković was connected with Mostar by railroad, it quickly became of of the main ports in the Adriatic; when it comes to the amount of goods passing through Metković, it was the second largest port, right after Rijeka. Unfortunately due to numerous bombings from the Second World War to the Croatian War of Independence, the importance of Metković port has fallen away.
See and do in Metković
Culture, history, nature and fun events await you in Metković. The remains of the ancient city of Narona, today's Vid are 4 km southwest of Metković, where the Archaeological museum Narona is built, as the first in situ museum in Croatia. Built on the locality of an antique temple dedicated to the 1st Roman Emperor Augustus, it shows a unique collection of antique statues made sometime in the 1st century B.C. The Archaeological museum Narona is a unique and unavoidable destination for all lovers of culture, art, history and archaeology.
If you're a nature lover, Metković will be one of the top destinations for you. Neretva delta is the best example of a rich and diverse bird population. You can observe all the birds in the ornithological collection of Natural History Museum Metković. Unfortunately, the Dalmatian pelican, griffon duck and marbled teal are gone, but even today we can see bitterns and ferruginous ducks nesting in the Neretva delta. The delta is an important resting place for millions of migratory birds but also a popular destination for many nature lovers.
In Predolac cave you can meet the unique cave shellfish Congeria, a living fossil, a tertiary relic and unique species to the Dinarides. You can also meet many other animal species living exclusively underground, and those who live in surface waters. All of those phenomena are unique in the world and will provide a unique experience to all tourists visiting this area.
Metković hosts interesting events both for locals and tourists. During May there is the traditional folklore event Na Neretvu misečina pala or Moonlight falls on Neretva, while July is reserved for traditional mullet fishing - Cipolijada and jumping into the Neretva contest.
There's also the Roman Night in Narona, which will transport you back in time to Roman times, where gladiator fights and slave markets were prominent. A part of the Day of the Neretva Principality in August is getting to know traditional crafts and village games, watch exciting contests and costume plays. The traditional Neretva boat marathon, Maraton lađa, where around 30 crews from the Neretva valley and abroad compete, is held on the 2nd Saturday in August.
In addition to rich cultural, historical and natural heritage, you will enjoy our gastronomy and wines, photo safari tours through the untouched swamp, and first of all the kindness and cordiality of our residents.
Welcome to the town of history, culture, nature and sports! Get a unique experience of Metković with Pointers Travel!

Croatia is a European country located in the Mediterranean, a treasure trove of culture and architecture with a long history, ancient buildings, Christian churches, Venetian cities, colourful traditions and stunning coastline of more than a thousand islands. Zagreb is its political and cultural focal point, an amiable capital city situated at the intersection of Central, Eastern and Southern Europe. The Kaptol district has been its Catholic heart since the Middle Ages. An atmospheric place, Upper Town is a gem Zagreb’s historic past. North of Zagreb on the western border with Slovenia, the picture-perfect Veliki Tabor Castle rises on a hill, its Renaissance courtyard with columns and arcades possessing a touch of southern elegance. Kumrovec, birthplace of the former President of Yugoslavia, Josip Broz Tito, is located south of the castle and is now a museum village. The historic centre of Rovinj is located on a shell-shaped peninsula, further south on the Adriatic coast. Seen from the sea it is one of the most stunning of the Adriatic’s harbour cities. Situated close to the southern tip of the Istrian Peninsula is Pula, the oldest city on Croatia‘s eastern Adriatic coast. The largest square of the Old Town, and today‘s main square, was originally located on the site of a Roman forum.

Dubrovnik, Croatia - Travel Around The World | Top best places to visit in Dubrovnik
Top best places to visit in Dubrovnik, Croatia
Dubrovnik is a walled city on the Adriatic Sea Coast of the south of Croatia.
Due to its exceptional beauty and rich history, this ancient town is considered to be the “Pearl of the Adriatic”. It is one of the most prominent tourist resorts of the Mediterranean and a World Heritage Site.
The City Walls are the biggest attraction. They run around the Old Town and they have a great view of Dubrovnik and the see.
There are four city gates, two of the major entrances are:
On the eastern side the Gate of Ploce, which is protected by the freestanding Revelin Fortress.
And on the western side, defended by Fort Bokar, the Gate of Pile.
From the Pile’s Gate and the Onofrio´s Fountain starts the central street of the old town, the Stradun. This representative place of the city leads to Luza Square.
One of the most impressive squares in town features:
Church of Saint Blaise, the City Hall, the Roland's Column, the Bell Tower and the Sponza Palace.
Next to Luza Square and the City Hall are situated: a museum dedicated to the city’s history, the Rector’s Palace and the impressive Dubrovnik Cathedral.
At the eastern part of Dubrovnik is located the Old Port. Despite the name it is still used by private citizens, as well as sightseeing tours and regular boat lines.
Inside the city walls there are a synagogue, a mosque, and a lot of churches, such as:
St Ignatius Church.
Or St Sebastian Church, and standing just behind it the Dominican Monastery and Museum.
One of the most important and well preserved historical sites of town is the Lazareti, an independent cultural center that brings together artists, philosophers and writers.
Dubrovnik has not only churches and museums but also beaches. From Banje Beach there is an amazing view to old town and the island of Lokrum.
Outside the walls was built an essential fortification to the defense of the city, St Lawrence Fortress.
The main purpose of its construction was to protect the freedom of people from ground and sea attacks, today it is a tourist attraction and theater.
To see the city from high up the best place to go is Minceta Tower, one of the most beautiful cultural attractions in Dubrovnik.

AMAZING Split Palace Tour in Croatia
We spent a fun day in Split exploring the Old Town and Diocletian's Palace including St. Domnius Bell Tower and find some surprises along the way. We also take a stroll along the Riva Promenade.

------------------
Diocletian’s Palace:
Diocletian’s Palace is one of the most important Roman ruins in Europe, it is also one of the top destinations in Split and Croatia. It is surprising to get there and understand that the Diocletian’s Palace is not only a palace but instead, it has become the living center of Split. Its labyrinthine streets are full with bars, restaurants, shops and people.
The Diocletian’s palace was a military fortress, imperial residence and fortified town.
The Diocletian’s Palace’s original structure has been added to continuously over the millennia, the alterations have only served to increase the allure of this fascinating site. The palace was built in the 4th century from lustrous white stone transported from the island of Brač, and construction lasted 10 years. Diocletian spared no expense, importing marble from Italy and Greece, and columns and sphinxes from Egypt.
Each wall of the Diocletian’s Palace has a gate at its centre, named after a metal: the Golden Gate(north), Bronze Gate (south), Silver Gate (east) and Iron Gate (west). Between the eastern and western gates there’s a straight road (Krešimirova; also known as Decumanus), which separates the imperial residence on the southern side, with its state rooms and temples, from the northern side, once used by soldiers and servants.
There are 220 buildings within the Diocletian’s Palace boundaries, home to about 3000 people. The narrow streets hide passageways and courtyards, some deserted and eerie, others thumping with music from bars and cafes, while the local residents hang out their washing overhead, kids play football amid the ancient walls, and grannies sit in their windows watching the action below.

Zagreb has culture, arts, music, architecture, gastronomy and all the other things that make a quality capital city – it's no surprise that the number of visitors has risen sharply in recent years. Croatia’'s coastal attractions aside, Zagreb has finally been discovered as a popular city-break destination in its own right.
Split
Croatia’s second-largest city, Split (Spalato in Italian) is a great place to see Dalmatian life as it’s really lived. Always buzzing, this exuberant city has just the right balance of tradition and modernity. Step inside Diocletian’s Palace (a Unesco World Heritage site and one of the world’s most impressive Roman monuments) and you’ll see dozens of bars, restaurants and shops thriving amid the atmospheric old walls where Split life has been humming along for thousands of years.
Brac
Island Brac, the largest island of the central Dalmatian group of islands, the third largest among the Adriatic islands; area 394.57 sq km; population 13,824.
The island landscape is dominated by a karst limestone relief, with numerous gullies, crevices, cavities, round valleys and coves.
Hvar
The island of Hvar is the queen of the Croatian Dalmatian islands. It has been famous since the antique because of its important strategic and nautical position, the rich of the various historical periods, the culture and natural monuments and the literature.
Montenegro
The pearl of the Mediterranean, unique in many ways, is situated in the south of the Adriatic. Nowhere else can you find, so much natural wealth, beauty, mild beaches, clear lakes, fast rivers, and gorgeous mountains in such a compact area as in Montenegro.
Budva
Budva is the metropolis of Montenegrin tourism thanks to the great number of beaches and hotels that make this a most desirable tourist destination.Apart from its natural beauty, its bay islands and beaches for example, Budva is rich in historic monuments
Kotor
Wedged between brooding mountains and a moody corner of the bay, the achingly atmospheric Kotor (Котор) is perfectly at one with its setting. Hemmed in by staunch walls snaking improbably up the surrounding slopes, the town is a medieval maze of museums, churches, cafe-strewn squares and Venetian palaces and pillories.
