WHAT MAKES DUBROVNIK SO POPULAR?

September 9, 2022

Dubrovnik draws people's attention with its historical buildings and castles. Dubrovnik is among the top 10 medieval walled cities in the world. In addition to this, it also pleases its visitors with its clean sea and peaceful atmosphere. Tourists make up the city's crowd in the summer, because the city's own population is only 49 thousand people.

Dubrovnik became so popular in last 10 years. I guess, we all know the reason. Game of Thrones, the one of the most popular TV series of all time, was filming mostly in Dubrovnik. Especially, the main spot of the tv series, King's Landing, is in Dubrovnik. So, Dubrovnik has most important places of the TV series. It is very pleasing that the stunning structures from the Middle Ages receive the value and attention they deserve after Game of Thrones. Now, the scenes of the sequel of Game of Thrones, House of The Dragons, take place in Dubrovnik.

Although it is a very small city, you will not get bothered of an annoying crowd in any of its streets compared to other popular world cities. In general, atmosphere is nice and relaxing in the city. Dubrovnik and Split are not border cities, even though they are known as such. Among them is the city of Neum in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The biggest problem with Dubrovnik is accommodation prices. If you've ever planned to go to Dubrovnik, you've seen the unbelievable prices. You can solve this problem by renting a place to stay at least 2 weeks before your trip.

Lastly, I would like to talk about the activities you can do in Dubrovnik, the places you should see and the food you can try. You have the chance to do many sea sports in Dubrovnik. You can enjoy the clean sea by swimming or take a canoe, take a boat tour, etc. It is possible to go canoeing in groups on a shore close to the center of the city. If you want, you can canoe or you can watch the canoeers on the shore and capture beautiful photos.
