 Dubrovnik, "The pearl of the Adriatic"
This slogan, long used by travel agencies to describe Dubrovnik, sounds like hyperbole - until you see what is one of Europe's most beautiful towns. With its Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque architecture, Dubrovnik was an obvious addition to UNESCO's World Heritage list. Though scarred by recent history, it is once again a lively place. During the war that ravaged the former Yugoslavia, the town was bombarded for six months during 1991-92. Thousands of shells hit homes, historic palaces and the town walls. Fortunately, with financial and technical aid from UNESCO, France, Austria, Germany and Italy, the monuments have been restored. Tremendous care was taken. When repairing the roofs, for example, not just any tiles were used. Since the faded-red colour of the rooftops has long been part of Dubrovnik's inimitable charm, replacements had to be found that matched as closely as possible. They were, in Agen, south-west France, and 200,000 were imported. Now, the view over the rooftops is as photogenic as ever. To see it, take a walk along the town walls, preferably in the morning or in the evening, when the light is best.

 Split
Croatia's second city is at her sparkling best in autumn, when the crowds retreat but the days remain warm and bright. This seafront metropolis was chosen by the Roman emperor Diocletian for his palace of pleasures, and has been attracting visitors ever since. Split's layers of history and culture are more accessible than ever thanks to better air links. And prices are lower than elsewhere on the Adriatic coast.
The proximity to the Middle Dalmatian Islands as well as to the inland mountains makes Split the biggest transit hub on the Croatian side of the Adriatic. Local ferry lines are also available for all the central Dalmatian islands. There are fast and regular ferry lines going from Ancona and Pescara, Italy, to Split.
Diocletian's palace area offers many tourist attractions one of which is the cathedral of St. Duje - the guardian of Split and Split's Riva, Prokurative and Peristil - distinctive parts of the city.

 Porec
Porec is a town of true hospitality and a rich tourist tradition. It is located on the western coast of the Istrian peninsula and abounds with clean sea and beaches. A stroll down the centuries old streets leads to the square, Marafor, in which there was once a forum in ancient times. The central Porec street, Decumanus, has been preserved from the time when Porec was an ancient port.

 Zagreb, the beautiful Croatian city
In the past, passengers on the Orient Express heading for Istanbul stopped off in Zagreb for a stroll in Maksimir Park and dinner at the Hotel Esplanade. Nowadays, Croatia's largest city is worth a visit as much for its historic heritage as for its Slavonic and Mediterranean atmosphere.
