And I've booked through Thursday night. It is an amazing city with two distinct neighborhoods. Old Dubrovnik is like Pamplona in that it has fortress walls and a drawbridge to access the old town. It is also right on the Adriatic and that makes it even more spectacular. Inside the walls are tons of cafes, restaurants and bars. It's not quite as midevil feeling as Diocletian Palace in Split but it's close.
I'm staying in the other popular neighborhood, Lapad Beach. It's about 3.5 km away from old town and not that nice of a walk. Lapad is fantastic though. Setaliste kralja Zvonamira is the main drag and is about a 1km long pedestrian only boulevard lined with outdoor cafes of all kinds. Most of them have several large flat screen tvs that have been showing the European Cup soccer championships. The most magnificent one has a screen that's about 10 feet wide and super high-def. Last night I had fish tacos at a Mexican place last night that were delicious.
I'm thinking of doing a day trip to either Montenego or Bosnia. They're both very close to Dubrovnik. My big decision now is where to watch Croatia vs Spain in the group of 16 knockout round tonight!
