Dubrovnik - Must see Pt. 1



During our first day in Dubrovnik the locals told us of a bar called Buzu Bar or “hole in the wall”. At first we were unsure what we were going to find, but we followed their directions and headed to the bar.
On our way through the town to Buzu Bar we passed a small courtyard of markets, it is here that I had the most delicious raspberries I have ever had. The taste of them is something I will never forget, you would never think that a raspberry would have a different taste in other countries, but they do.

Past the markets we walked up some stairs and by some local crafts, we continued walking along the pathway that runs parallel to the cliff wall. It was only a little further up where we found quite literally a “hole in the wall”, which once through we discovered Buzu Bar.

Buzu Bar is a must see when travelling to Dubrovnik, swimming in the clear blue water off the edge of the cliff is a bucket list experience - And don’t forget to pick up some fruit on your way down to eat on the rock ledge while admiring the view.

After checking out Buzu Bar we walked back through the town to go and explore Banje Beach, another tip given to us by the locals. To get to Banje Beach you have to walk back through to the other side of Old Town and go outside the town walls. Once out, you look back towards Old town and see an amazing view of the harbor and the town walls.

Once you are out of the town walls you continue to walk along the coast line until you turn the corner and see Banje Beach. This beach was my favorite beach that I visited during my European travels, I would recommend hiring a beach chair and enjoying some cocktails from the waited services while swimming in the crystal clear water.
