Dubrovnik, Croatia

: The 'Jewel of the Adriatic', perched between mountain and sea on Croatia's Dalmation Coast.
Many visitors start with a walk round the walls of the old town, which extend almost 2km and are 25m high in places. A great way to appreciate the baroque buildings, as well as to enjoy views out over the blue Adriatic.
At the head of the main street, the Stradun, at the Pile Gate is Onofrio fountain, built in 1438 so people coming into town could wash away any plague germs. Behind the fountain is the Dominican Monastery, built by the citizens of the town in 1301, which has an excellent collection of medieval art in the adjacent museum. Walk down the Stradun and squares open out, many of them with open-air bars and cafés, while every corner seems to have sculptures or fountains, bell towers or gardens. At the far end of the Stradun is the magnificent cathedral: originally Byzantine, it was rebuilt as a Romanesque church in the Middle Ages and again in the baroque style following an earthquake in 1667.
