Merhaba
Walk the city walls at opening time (8 AM) to beat the cruise ship crowds. The Old Town is pedestrian-only — wear comfortable shoes on the marble Stradun which gets slippery when wet.
Bargaining is expected in the Grand Bazaar. Always accept the tea offered by shopkeepers.
🇭🇷 Dubrovnik Fun Fact
Dubrovnik was the first state in the world to officially abolish the slave trade — in 1416, over 400 years before the British Empire. The city-republic of Ragusa prided itself on freedom ('Libertas') above all.
🇹🇷 Istanbul Fun Fact
Istanbul is the only city in the world that straddles two continents — Europe and Asia.
