It's lights, camera, action on a Dubrovnik holiday – in more ways than one. It's popular with big cheese movie directors and rolls out Instagrammable scenery like there's no tomorrow.
Big-screen star
You might get that funny déjà vu feeling strolling through the streets of Dubrovnik, in Croatia. That’s because this postcard-pretty city has been splashed all over our screens the last few years. It’s best-known for taking a lead role as King’s Landing in the legendary Game of Thrones series. But it’s also been a backdrop in the Knightfall TV show and the 2017 movie Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
City wall sightseeing
Walk along the top of Dubrovnik’s city walls and you’ll soon see why it’s a film director’s dream, plus a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Higgledy-piggledy alleyways, the hole-in-the-wall Café Buza cocktail bar, kayakers paddling the bay – every few steps show you something different. Even more Instagram angles are provided by the cable car that chugs up the nearby mountainside, and the sunbed-strewn Banje Beach on the outskirts of town.
