Dubrovnik Photo Diary

After my Seville Photo Diary I couldn’t wait to show you more, starting with our long weekend in Dubrovnik last autumn (read about it here). I love the contrast of the deep blue skies against the warm red terracotta roofs, and all the amazing views from the hilltops, town walls and cliffside bars. I challenge you to look through my Dubrovnik photo diary without booking your trip immediately!

I’ve arranged my photos chronologically, so you’ll start in our pretty airbnb and wander down through the streets into Old Town and around the walls, before taking a boat trip to Lokrum Island, watching the sunset from the top of Mount Srđ, and spending a day in Cavtat. Enjoy!
