Dubrovnik is often the first place travellers think of when planning a trip to southern Croatia — and with good reason. Its Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, surrounded by massive stone walls, narrow streets, and centuries of layered history. But beyond its cultural appeal, Dubrovnik is also a destination where you can stay active without much effort. Kayaking tours around the city walls, hiking up Mount Srđ, and short zipline experiences like DU the Wire let you step outside the crowds and add something dynamic to your visit.

There’s a great balance here — walk the city in the morning, swim in the afternoon, and enjoy a peaceful sunset with a local meal.
