Croatia is a country in Southeast Europe. It borders Slovenia to the northwest, Hungary to the northeast, Serbia to the east, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Montenegro to the southeast, sharing a maritime border with Italy. Croatia was part of the former Yugoslavia. A population of 4 million, most of whom are Catholics. Zagreb is the capital. Balanced between the Balkans and Central Europe, this country has been passed between rival kingdoms, empires and republics for thousands of years. If there is an advantage to this ongoing disruption, it is in the rich cultural legacy each has left behind. From Venetian palaces, Napoleonic fortresses, Slavic churches, Viennese mansions to socialist sculptures. But most attraction is the coastline with the remarkable clarity of the water and white pebbly beach. Despite being the fastest rising holiday destination in Europe in the past decade, Croatia still doesn't feel overrun by tourists. There are long sandy and winding beaches too, perfect for lazy days. Croatia is a beautiful country to discover many different landscapes. Dubrovnik is according to many one of the most beautiful cities on the Adriatic coast. This city in Croatia is also called the Pearl of the Adriatic. The historic center, or rather the completely walled fortress city of Dubrovnik, is on the list of UNESCO World Heritage. This part is still in a remarkably good condition. A wonderful place to discover on foot, it is a city with a diverse, but also rough past. Remarkably, the Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque churches, as well as the various monasteries, palaces and fountains have been preserved. They all tell their own story from the Middle Ages.

Dubrovnik is a city on the Adriatic Sea in southern Croatia. It is one of the most prominent tourist destinations in the Mediterranean Sea. The history of the city probably dates back to the 7th century. The old, completely walled fortress town from the thirteenth century is located at the foot of the mountain Srđ. From the immense city walls and towers you can look out over the city and the sea. It's a perfect introduction. Especially at sunset, this is ideal for photographers. Photo taken one kilometer away from the center of the city, located in an isolated area above the church of St. Jacob.

Kroatië is een land in Zuidoost-Europa. Het grenst aan Slovenië in het noordwesten, Hongarije in het noordoosten, Servië in het oosten, Bosnië-Herzegovina en Montenegro in het zuidoosten en deelt een maritieme grens met Italië. Kroatië maakte deel uit van het voormalige Joegoslavië. Een bevolking van 4 miljoen, van wie de meesten katholiek zijn. Zagreb is de hoofdstad. In evenwicht tussen de Balkan en Centraal-Europa, wordt dit land al duizenden jaren doorgegeven tussen rivaliserende koninkrijken, rijken en republieken. De meeste attractie is de kustlijn met de opmerkelijke helderheid van het water en het witte kiezelstrand. Ondanks dat het de afgelopen tien jaar de snelst stijgende vakantiebestemming in Europa is, voelt Kroatië zich nog steeds niet overspoeld door toeristen. Dubrovnik is volgens velen één van de mooiste steden van de Adriatische kust. Deze stad wordt ook wel de 'Parel van de Adriatische Zee' genoemd. De compleet ommuurde vestingstad van Dubrovnik, staat op de lijst van Werelderfgoed van UNESCO. Dit deel is nog in een opvallend goede staat. Een heerlijke plek om te voet te ontdekken. Opvallend genoeg zijn de gotische, renaissance en barokke kerken, maar ook de diverse kloosters, paleizen en fonteinen bewaard gebleven. Ze vertellen allemaal een eigen verhaal uit de Middeleeuwen. De vestingstad uit de dertiende eeuw ligt aan de voet van de berg Srđ. Vanaf de immense stadsmuren en torens kijk je uit over de stad en de zee. Het is een perfecte introductie. Met name bij zonsondergang is dit ideaal voor fotografen. Foto genomen op een kilometer afstand van het centrum van de stad, gelegen in een afgelegen gebied boven de kerk van St. Jacob.
