Dubrovnik as a part of The Boston Globe roadtrip

Written by  May 23, 2016

''Roadtriping through Croatia and beyond'' is the name of the article that was published few days ago on The Boston Globe website that includes Dubrovnik. The author is describing a trip that starts in Zagreb, continues along the Dalmatian coast to Split and Dubrovnik, turns north to the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina, through Mostar, Sarajevo, Banja Luka, and back to Zagreb.

While coming to Dubrovnik, they've stopped at Mali Ston on the Peljesac peninsula to try the local specialities. In the afternoon, they came to Dubrovnik and these were their impressions:
- Crowded Old Town has just hosted a “Star Wars” film crew (“Game of Thrones” also shot here). As we walk over an ancient bridge, following the porter into the main square, we too feel like we’re in a film. Magnificent Dubrovnik, restored by UNESCO after the war, has views of a startling blue sea that take your breath away, churches, palaces, narrow walkways, and steep stone staircases – writes the author of the article and adds that they've walked the City Walls for hours for a small fee, which is interesting because many people complain about the price.

After Dubrovnik they've continued their trip and were really satisfied. The powerful sentences end the text: ''We have seen cities and countryside a full two decades after bombs and violence were part of daily life. And quite close to one another, we’ve been surrounded by majestic beauty and sadness and hope.''
