Do you know which was the first city in the world to receive public lighting? No, it’s not London, Paris or New York, but the streets of Šibenik, a tiny medieval town in Croatia, were lit up in 1895. Not just that, Šibenik is also the oldest Croatian city on the #DalmatianCoast, established in the middle ages. It is less touristy but equally charming when compared with its more popular neighbouring cousins such as #Zadar, #Split and #Dubrovnik. Established in the 11th century, Šibenik is known as the gateway to the Kornati islands. Guarded by five fortresses, the pocket-sized town has an amazing coastal vibe and is very famous among music and history lovers. The beautifully preserved old town gives you the vibe of the 15th and 16th-century era. And perhaps, that’s why it even featured in Game of Thrones Season 5. This walkable city has a lot to see, such as the St. James Cathedral, St. Michael’s Fortress, St. Nicholas Fortress, St. John’s Fortress, Aquapark and a lot more. Most importantly, this is the only county to have two national parks – #Krka & #Kornati. So, when are you visiting Šibenik? This post is part of my ongoing #travelseewriteineurope series. Stay tuned for more updates. 📸 shot on @apple #iphone14promax, DJI Mini 2 & LumixS5II Thanks, @lovesibenik, for a great time and for providing some footage. #visiteurope #europediaries #travelseewrite #europe_gallery #europetrip #igerseurope #wonderful_places #worldtravelpics #bestvacations #unexplored #offbeat #beautifuldestinations #upoznajbalkan #balkan #CroatianExploration #CroatiaFullOfLife #offbeatplaces #gameofthrones #gameofthroneslocation

Świetne miejsce z bardzo ciekawą historią oraz pięknymi widokami. Świetny pomysł z wykorzystaniem zbiornika wody, aczkolwiek informacji mogłoby być więcej. Bilety szczególnie warty kupienia w opcji na wszystkie 3 twierdze w Szybieniku.

Amazing views! I wish we were there for a concert. There’s also a cafe that has ice cream for kids.
