Explore more of the stunning Croatian coastline by taking to the Adriatic waters. See the spellbinding walled city from seaward and take one of the local ferries out to a neighbouring island. If you fancy a spot of proper island-hopping, board a boat and take a tour of the Elaphiti Islands where you'll venture through Kolocep's Blue Caves, soak up the rays on Sunj beach and stop at beautiful Sipan. For those looking for a fun day out there is also the popular pirate ship The Galleon Tirena or glass-bottomed boats that cruise from Dubrovnik on day trips.

Dubrovnik's unique bar terraces are a must. Built on ledges, into the rocks and within the ancient buildings, the city's bars and restaurants are mesmerising. It's easy to miss, but the ‘hole-in-the-wall’ Buza bar is one of the most beautiful in the city. Tucked away in the cliffs above the sea, this café and bar offers incomparable views out over the Adriatic. Take a seat at a table on the rocky ledges and soak up your surroundings. During the summer the bar sometimes projects films onto the cliffside for a cinema experience like no other!

If you're searching for a souvenir, look out for Croatian design outlet Lega-Lega in Dropčeva 3. This quirky shop sells everything from T-shirts, notebooks, posters, bags and hoodies and is a popular hub for holidaymakers on the hunt for creative gifts. If you're looking to fill your picnic basket, get down to Gunduliceva poljana market located in the heart of the Old Town where you can pick up fresh fruit and veg, alongside nuts, oil and local spirits. You'll find delicate handmade jewellery and accessories among other traditional Dubrovnik designs in Atelier Secret.
