Dubrovnik. Today begins at Pile Gate, on the eastern side of Dubrovnik Old Town. The main entrance to Old Town, Pile Gate was built in the 15th century and once had a wooden drawbridge attached. Each night, the drawbridge would be pulled up to prevent unwelcome visitors to the walled city.
From here, we will embark on a walking tour. Weaving through the maze-like narrow streets and lively piazzas, we will stop by the stunning Sponza Palace, a 16th century palace, that is now home to the Dubrovnik State Archive and holds documents dating back to the 12th century.
Next stop will be St Blaise's Church, aptly named after the patron saint of Dubrovnik, Then, we will visit Dubrovnik Cathedral - otherwise known as the Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. Dating back to the 12th century, it was built somewhere between the late 1600s and early 1700s on the site of previous cathedrals dating back to the 7th century.
Finally, we will visit Rector's Palace, a stunning palace that used to serve as the seat of the Rector of the Republic of Ragusa, between the 14th century and 1808. Combining intricate Gothic, Baroque and Renaissance architecture, the palace reminds visitors of the fine synergy between governance and faith that kept Dubrovnik afloat as a republic for 450 years.

Embraced by the Verige Strait that runs through, the Bay of Kotor was once a gateway that once provided medieval cities protection from invaders. Once inside, you'll be stunned by the winding bay, towering peaks and rocky coastline.
One of the medieval cities that lines the bay includes Kotor, which is situated in Europe's southernmost fjord.
