Dubrovnik made it to another list of the places you just need to visit! Telegraph has recently published an article titled ‘’The 25 places in Eastern Europe you must see in your lifetime’’ with our City involved.

-With its sublime location, overlooking the calm blue waters of the Adriatic, Dubrovnik is one of the world’s most magnificent cities – writes Jane Foster, Telegraph expert, adding that the main draw is the charming car-free old town, packed with aristocratic palazzi and elegant Baroque churches, contained within sturdy medieval fortifications.

-Add to this the beaches, pristine sea, top-notch seafood, and chic five-star hotels, and your holiday is made – explains Foster.

Dubrovnik is not only Croatian representative on the list. Telegraph also recommends Plitvice Lakes, Istria and what is interesting – Museum of broken relationships in Zagreb.

Last year a 21-year old Croatian innovator presented his green invention that was recognized on a global scale almost overnight. However, his success was not a short-lived one but has been growing since then.

Ivan Mrvos from Solin near Split and his team are responsible for designing the Steora smart bench; an innovative product ideal for cities, parks, airports, marinas, business and shopping centres. Their main goal is to raise human awareness about renewable energy and environmental protection.

The smart bench includes batteries, which are powered by solar panels; they provide internet access and the possibility to charge mobile phones and laptops by USB charger. It also gathers data about air quality, humidity, city noise, displays advertising, and provides light at night. Interestingly Mrvos and his team developed their own battery system based on the model of Tesla Motors, which is famous for production of electric cars.

So far, smart benches have been introduced and placed all over Croatia, Montenegro, in Sarajevo in Bosnia and Herzegovina as well as in Hong Kong and in front of the European Parliament building in Strasbourg.

Last year Mrvos signed an agreement worth 5,33 million Euros with MTK Renewable Energy Investment to deliver 2,700 smart benches to Australia. Mrvos and his team also sent smart benches to USA, Qatar and Switzerland for testing.

After recent setting up the first smart bench in Dubai, bought by the local police, the same night Ivan Mrvos and his company Include received an order for five more benches for the largest city of the UAE.

''Around 11 pm in the evening, or 1 am Dubai time, we got an emergency order to deliver five new pieces as soon as possible. In 48 hours of logistics madness, we produced five benches with the required configuration, and organized delivery by DHL and Emirates. At the end, the benches have been successfully installed in Dubai'', commented Mrvos on his social media profile.

The weekend isn’t the craziest part of the week in Dubrovnik anymore. This hectic Monday brought crowds in the Old City. At moments, for example just couple minutes ago, there were over 9,000 people inside the City Walls. That was counted on the website Dubrovnik Visitors, which counts the number of people that enter the City in order to limit the number under 8,000.

Because the limit was broken, and huge number of people entered the City, the counter turned red. Currently there are two cruise ships in the Port Gruz that brought around 1,900 passengers. There are some traffic jams. A crazy Monday!

This has been a great year so far for Croatian airports with figures up over 17 percent compared to last year. A total of over nine million passengers is expected to pass Croatian airports – EX-YU Aviation News reports.

The president of the Air Transport Association at the Croatian Chamber of Economy Tonci Peovic commented for EX-YU Aviation News why he thinks the growth is happening, saying that the significant rise has been influenced by GDP growth in countries that visitors are coming from, as well as other numerous factors such as safety.

First half of the year was a bomb for Croatian airports, as they made record breaking numbers with 3.444.310 passengers, according to the Croatian Civil Aviation Agency. That is an increase of 17.7 percent compared to the same period last year.

Some of the airports estimated how many passengers will pass their airports by the end of the year, but it’s expected that those numbers will be surpassed – Zagreb Airport expects to have three million passengers, Split 2.7 million, Dubrovnik two million, Pula 600 thousand, Zadar 580 thousand and Brac 30 thousand passengers. We’ll see what the next couple of months will bring.

Since seventh season of Game of Thrones is currently on fire, many websites rediscover Dubrovnik as King’s Landing. Vogue recently published a travel guide to our City, especially meant for the lovers of the serial.

- Despite its dragons, direwolves, and white walkers, the Game of Thrones world isn’t quite as make-believe as it may seem. In fact, its capital, King’s Landing, is almost entirely filmed in the very real—and very beautiful—city of Dubrovnik, Croatia – it’s explained in the article that brings tips for all the GOT lovers in order to skip ‘’overpriced and crowded guided tours’’.

Places that they recommend are: City Walls, Trsteno Arboretum, Fort Lovrjenac, The Jesuit Stairs and the island of Lokrum. These were ocations where the serial was filmed and in the original article you can see all the details about the scenes.

This is not the first and certainly not the last time that one of the most famous magazines in the world feature Dubrovnik as King’s Landing. Being a part of the world famous series – Game of Thrones – gave Pearl of Adriatic a priceless promotion. Many tourists visit Dubrovnik just because they are huge fans of the series.

The disappearing Dubrovnik pigeons have returned home. At the beginning of August the pigeons seemed to have disappeared. Every day at exactly midday the pigeons of the city are fed in the Gundelic Square, it is a tradition that has been going on for centuries and is funded by the City of Dubrovnik.

And then one early August day they didn’t arrive, their corn feed was left uneaten. But this weekend they returned to eat their food and perch on the ancient buildings. Where they have been and what they have been doing will remain a mystery.
