Dubrovnik

All of Dubrovnik’s sightseeing is packed within its walls where thankfully everything is pedestrian. Main streets, like The Placa, become unbearably crowded around midday when cruise boats are docked at the harbor—solution enjoy the main thoroughfares early and late in the day. When the cruise boats are in town head for a café or Gundul Poljana, a quieter square with restaurants where the fruit and vegetable market is held.  Allow a day and a half for all the sightseeing in town. Consider a day at the beach taking a boat from the harbor to the island of Lokrum (or a 20 minute walk to the secluded St Jakob Beach). Extend your stay by taking day trips to Bosnia-Herzegovina’s Mostar and Montenegro’s Bay of Kotor.
