🇭🇷 Dubrovnik: Where Azure Waters Meet History

💛Once a destination I'd never considered, Croatia stole my heart when I saw its red-roofed old town embraced by ancient walls and jelly-blue seas on a travel show. 💎Part 1: Arrival & First Impressions. 11:50 AM: Landed in Dubrovnik → Uber to Rixos Hotel (€29).Chose this luxury yet affordable option (~€200/night with breakfast)🌈.15-min walk to Old Town, stunning facilities. ⚠️ Tip: While Airbnbs are cheaper, hotels feel safer. Watch for pickpockets! ✅Cable Car to Mount Srđ (€27 round-trip):26-min walk from hotel to station.⚠️ Avoid buying tickets at kiosks (cash-only + fees!). Card-friendly at the station.Summit Viewpoint: Breathtaking panorama of the Old Town. 🌅Lunch at Restaurant Panorama:3 PM reservation (book online for terrace seats!).Generous portions, views worth the splurge.Pro tip: They give a 10% discount card for their two sister restaurants in town. 🍃Old Town Stroll + Peppino Gelato:Silky but sweet—coconut flavor is a winner!Dinner at Sesame: Near Old Town (opposite Hilton).Romantic ambiance, attentive service, decent (but pricey) dishes. #Croatia #DubrovnikEats #LuxuryTravel #AdriaticBlues
