Nicole Isaacs, American trendsetter, is enjoying Dubrovnik. That is clear from the photos that she posted on her Instagram account, where she has almost 150 thousand followers. For now she has published seven photos, promoting beauty of our City and her beauty as well.
Nicole is travel and food blogger, founder of multimedia creative agency HungryApe, former member of the girl band Soccx and has also former producer of the show Fashion Police. She was all over the press when it was asumed that she's in the relationship with Terrence J, American actor and TV personality.
She has celebrated her birthday in Culture Club Revelin last year and it seems that she fell in love with the City.


The northerly winds that have been battering Dubrovnik for the past week hit new highs last night.
Bitterly cold gale force winds swept down over the mountains and wiped up the Adriatic Sea.
This boat in the Port of Dubrovnik fell victim to the high seas and slowly sunk. The owner was greeted this morning with a half submerged boat.
Some people just lose their heads (and their trousers) in excitement when they arrive in Dubrovnik. This revealing photo appeared on social media yesterday of a tourist getting carried away with the view, and offering a rather different view of his own. And as the cold north wind is blowing we can only presume that the view he offered wasn’t very generous!
This naked photography has taken off, no pun intended, over the past few years and more and more people are stripping down to their birthday suits for a holiday album snap. Several photos of naked tourists from the top of the Srd Mounatin overlooking Dubrovnik have been posted on social media this year.
This latest “skin feast” was taken from the Lovrijenac Fortress, which was a location for the popular Game of Thrones series.
On the first day of December starts the program of vocal group performances at Stradun around the festive stands, as a part of the Dubrovnik Winter Festival. The magic of Dubrovnik's Advent with traditional songs and Christmas tunes on the most beautiful stage in the world will start at 8 pm. Dubrovnik vocal groups will perform through December on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
For children on Friday, 2 December at 6 o'clock in the cinema 'Sloboda' there will be an interective theatre play "Audition for Santa Claus", produced by the theater company Travelling Theatre. Tomislav Bralic and Intrade vocal group in the evening, in front of St. Blaise from 8 and 30 pm, are another musical gift from the Dubrovnik Winter Festival to their fellow citizens.
The strong northerly winds that are battering Dubrovnik have made it tricky to keep warm. But this tourist to the Old City was having a rather different problem today, how to keep his long hair under control.
As he walked to enter the St. Blaise Church in the heart of the Old City the pun “hairway to heaven” came to mind. We wonder if he flew to Dubrovnik with “British Hairways,” enough of our “cutting remarks.”


One of the most popular attractions in Dubrovnik, the Rector's Palace, will be closed from the 1st of December. The closure of this iconic building is due to the second phase of reconstruction that was started earlier this year.
According to a report from the Dubrovnik Museums the Rector's Palace will be closed from tomorrow however they added that the Museum Shop will remain open whils the works are going on.
The works will be supervised by the Dubrovnik Institute of restoration and are scheduled to be completed by the 31st of May 2017.
We're sexy and we know it! Dubrovnik has been placed on a list of the best-looking world cities by the UK newspaper The Independent. “It’s no surprise the southern Croatian city of Dubrovnik has been used as the backdrop of countless film and TV shoots, including Game of Thrones (it doubles as King’s Landing, fact fans),” opens the article on Dubrovnik on the website of the UK publication.
In an article entitled “From Boston to Reykjavik: These are the world’s best-looking cities,” beautiful world destinations are highlighted, including Lisbon, Panama City and Stockholm.
“Its UNESCO-protected historic core is fabulously photogenic, with a Venetian warren of cobbled streets and stone buildings. Walk along the city walls for the best views over the red rooftops and out towards the Adriatic,” concludes the short article. More great publicity for Dubrovnik in the most important tourism market for the city, and with more British airlines adding flights for 2017 we can expect a further growth in British tourists next year.
