Dubrovnik In Your Pocket - Dubrovnik, Croatia Highlights

http://www.inyourpocket.com/
The stones of Dubrovnik tell a 13-century-long tale of survival. The Roman city of Ragusa developed into a city-state encompassing the coast as far south as the Bay of Kotor, the Pelješac Peninsula and nearby islands including Mljet and Lastovo.
On the walls of Korčula Town, antique cannons still aim across a narrow channel at the village of Orebić, on Pelješac. That's because Korčula was an outpost of Dubrovnik's rival, the Republic of Venice.
Legend has it that St. Blaise appeared in a vision in 971 to warn Dubrovnik of an impending Venetian invasion. He's been revered here ever since. But it's appropriate that he's the saint who is celebrated with the blessing of throats. After all, Dubrovnik remained independent and prosperous for more than a millennium on its citizens' powers of negotiation.
Now Dubrovnik has thrown open its gates to an annual invasion of thousands of visitors who come to walk its ancient streets, to see the wealth the city amassed through centuries of trade, and to stand on its mighty walls and gaze across the crystalline seas.

Where's the ski lift to the top? They had one in 1977.

[InYourPocketGuides]

@dsaraga the cable car to the top reopened in July 2010 as @IvanLongShanks pointed out. It's still nicer to walk up...

[Crazzeh]

The walk isn't 50 kunas... it's 70 now. I was in Dubrovnik at the end of July.

[InYourPocketGuides]

@Crazzeh thanks for sharing. It was still worth it though, wasn't it? Matthias

[raguza2008]

It's the "Pile" gate, not the "Peter" gate...I hope you spot the mistake in the subtitles ;)

[InYourPocketGuides]

@raguza2008 Thanks for spotting it. I have updated the subtitles. Matthias

Croatia is a beautiful country. I am a Serbian and I must appologize to all Croats in the name of my compatriot, the user "zosozozxs", who is constantly leaving comments under Croatian tourism videos. I know that he is not Swedish, but a Serbian because I saw some of his comments under some other videos on Serbian language.

I am spending vacations in Croatia every summer and I have nothing but the best impressions about Croatia and Croats. Let`s forget our conflicts in the past.

@milos504

OMG again Milosh lol. The only sad thing in this story is you. Every movie on youtube about Croatia you show up with your sad comments, I think you ve got issues and jealousy problems. This is a clip about Croatia, I dont see any Croatians commenting Serbian clips. Croatia is way prettier than your country.

[zosozox]

@USATRAWEL Yes.... LOTS of landmines, ammunition and grenades from the civil war can STILL be found there on the beaches in croatia...!!! SCARY...

[USATRAWEL]

HMMMMM WITH CIVIL WAR STIL GOING ON AND FIGHTING UP THE HILL RIGHT ABOVE DUBROVNIK I JUST DONT KNOW HOW ANY TURISTS CAN FEEL SAFE THERE

[hrvatskaslogazadar]

Dubrovčani, prikažite na ovim video spotovima spomen-ploču o agresiji Jugoslavenske armije, Srba i Crnogoraca na Dubrovnik 1991 godine.Nalazi se s lijeve strane Vrata od Pila i prikazuje slikovito kako je biser Hrvatske i Europe Dubrovnik (Hrvatska Atena ) bio razaran, rušen i paljen od barbara sa istoka.
