A shared love of travel and a recent engagement brought them to Dubrovnik<\/a>. A destination that had long topped their dream destination list, Dubrovnik exceeded their expectations in every way. Read on for Emily and Ben\u2019s favourite experiences in the ancient Croatian city.<\/p>\n \u201cOver the past four years, my fianc\u00e9 and I have really tapped into our love of travelling. We spend a large amount of our spare time remembering past trips and planning for our next adventures. Dubrovnik has always ranked high on our list of places to visit, so when we finally discovered a good deal on flights, we had to go!<\/p>\n \u201cWe arrived on an early morning flight from Rome<\/a> and took the local bus to the Old Town. Because it was so early, our only real option was to walk to our hotel. We turned out to be so thankful for this because it allowed us to wander just after sunrise, all alone and in complete silence \u2013 it was so pristine and absolutely mesmerizing!<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s safe to say that Dubrovnik is one of the most incredible places we\u2019ve ever experienced. The city\u2019s unique mix of majestic Old World charm combined with just the right amount of modern luxuries really made for a special trip.\u201d \u2013 Emily<\/p>\n Their favourite things to do in Dubrovnik:<\/p>\n 1.
