"Unavoidable Dubrovnik" Dubrovnik by JLBG
Dubrovnik Travel Guide: 1,695 reviews and 4,481 photos
There are so many pages on Dubrovnik that at first, when I was new on VT, I decided I would not build mine. The other reason for not building this page was that my last visit to Dubrovnik was as far back as 1990.
At second sight, I realized that nothing had much changed since then and that my pictures were not obsolete. Then, it might be fun to search for what is different... Will you try ?
November 2009
This page was almost entirely written in 2004. It got good ratings, which should mean that it has been found interesting by other VTers. However, I should now entirely rebuild it. Since then, I had several shorter visits to the city and a longer one in may 2009. I have other photos that I can add (when I wrote it, there was only one photo per tip). I have made some minor editing but I feel that the whole page should be built in another way.
Soon...

Lovely! Would love to be able to see all this for myself. What breath-taking scenery, and the old harbour is lovely, it really is a beautiful city!
Excellent Dubrovnik page! Minceta Fortress, Fort Lovrijenac and the Old Port certainly look amazing. Lokrum Island sounds interesting to visit and explore! Thanks for sharing. We hope to visit the city one day. ~ho & pang
Jean-Louis, Wonderful photos of one of the more beautiful cities of the world. Your tips helped when I was in Dubrovnik. Been there twice now and it still a great memory. Larry
Such beautiful views! Gorgeous coast, love the red tile roofs, narrow streets, quite a lovely spot. It's hard to think that mankind would bomb a place like this. sigh...
Looks like a charming town with lots to see & do, especially walking the city walls. Thanks for all the great tips!
One of the most famous attractions!
Excellent page about famous touristic place. Magnificient views! Dream to visit Croatia and Dubrovnik one day. Thanks Jean-Louis for the virtual tour!
Liked your take on Dubrovnik's narrow alley ways & roman roofs = I think I would follow your lead here to visit a cool Cathedral
Enjoyed this page on Dubrovnik Jean-Louis. I visited this city many moons ago as it was a stop on my 1969 Mediterranean cruise. Sadly I do not remember much, only the wall .
Your pictures of Dubrovnik are nicely done--I loved the birdseye view of the city!
