There’s a place in former war torn Croatia where locals have diligently
rebuilt their city and now await your tourism dollars,
according to an article in the Pioneer
Press (free registration required). The city: Dubrovnik. Known as a “city of light and stone”, Dubrovnik has
emerged from the war which tore apart the former Yugoslavia as an up and coming destination for Eastern European
travelers. The historic Old Town especially, relates the article’s author, has a definitive Baroque style with streets
that are lined with small businesses (the city is known as a jewelry making center), cafes and restaurants.
