Built-in the late 15<sup>th<\/sup> century, the palace served as the seat of the Rector of the Republic of Ragusa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This beautiful Gothic-Renaissance palace is home to the\nRector\u2019s private chambers, office, public halls and dungeon and provides a\ntruly enlightening day out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Circumnavigate the city walls<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another memorable and romantic thing to do in Dubrovnik is\nto walk along the old city walls. The walls stretch for almost 2km around the\ncity\u2019s old quarter. From these ancient walls, you can enjoy great vistas\nlooking town on the red roofs of the Old Town. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Take a trip to Lokrum Island <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One romantic experience not to be missed is taking a boat\nfrom Dubrovnik\u2019s Old Town to Lokrum Island. This verdant island is carpeted in\nexotic vegetation and contrasts vividly to the deep blue water of the Adriatic\nSea that laps its shoreline. There are no human inhabitants on Lokrum, only a\ncolony of peacocks that roam the land freely, adding to the romanticism of this\nbeautiful island. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Described by Lord Byron as \u201cThe Pearl of the Adriatic,\u201d Croatia\u2019s Dubrovnik is a magical and picturesque coastal city with a laidback vibe, making it perfect for a romantic escape.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":8509,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,26,36],"tags":[824,825,480,1239],"class_list":["post-8508","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-festivals-in-croatia","category-romantic-holiday-villas","category-things-to-do-in-croatia","tag-croatia","tag-dubrovnik","tag-romantic-breaks-in-europe","tag-romantic-escapes"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.5 -
