Worth knowing — welcome to Dubrovnik
- Dubrovnik's walled Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. For centuries the city was the independent maritime Republic of Ragusa — a small, wealthy trading state that rivaled Venice.
- The Old Town was shelled during the 1991–92 Siege of Dubrovnik and has since been painstakingly restored. More recently it played 'King's Landing' in Game of Thrones.
