Cathedral of St. Domnius

Ul. Kraj Svetog Duje 5, 21000, Split

Diocletian’s Palace

If you’re in Split, there’s no way to miss Diocletian’s Palace as it spans about half of the town. This Roman ruin was home to emperor Diocletian. As you’re strolling through his retirement home, one can’t help but feel envious of his sweet digs.

Hvar

Museum of Broken Relationships

Ćirilometodska ul. 2, 10000, Zagreb

Don’t even think of texting your ex here. This museum will give you more feels than the typical art gallery or history museum. Walking through the halls, you’ll see relics from relationships that didn’t work out, some funny, others heartbreaking.

Lokrum

Lokrum, Dubrovnik

You can access this island from Dubrovnik. It’s a perfect day trip for sea kayaking or snorkeling. There are a small number of shops and restaurants. One of the most charming things are the peacocks and bunnies that roam the island as you go about your activities.

Lovrijenac

Ul. od Tabakarije 29, 20000, Dubrovnik

This fort is also known as St. Lawrence Fortress or Dubrovnik’s Gibraltar. It’s a historic site perched on a seaside cliff. It used to have a purpose of defending Dubrovnik from seaside attacks, but now it’s open to the public to explore.

Walls of Dubrovnik

Poljana Paska Miličevića, 20000, Dubrovnik

The city walls go hand-in-hand with Lovrijenac, in the sense that they used to serve as the city’s protection. The ancient walls have stood the test of time and still stand seaside by the city. The city also have gates that used to protect it as well. Walk around the walls, visit the gates, explore the forts– there’s plenty to discover.
