May is one of my favorite times to travel because the weather is starting to get warm, but the tourists haven’t begun swarming yet. Adrian Mourby of The Independent agrees with me and in a recent article tosses out a gem of a suggestion on where to head in the following month to take advantage of this unique window of travel time: Dubrovnik, Croatia.
48 Hours is a regular column in The Independent and Mourby takes advantage of its set-up to educate readers about what they can expect to see in Dubrovnik in just two days. I love such articles because they cut to the chase by succinctly providing highlights, practical travel and accommodation suggestions, great links, and where to eat. After just a few moments of reading Mourby’s article, I now have a good idea of where to go for brunch, where to shop, which cultural pursuits I want to pursue, and which hotel to check out (naturally the one with the quayside from which I can dive directly into the Adriatic). The only problem is that I’m going in June; I just hope it’s not going to be too packed.
