Dubrovnik - The Pearl of the Adriatic is Ready for its close up

Dubrovnik continues to seduce visitors as it has for centuries with stunning architecture, colorful history, culture, events, natural beauty and endearing hospitality. The Pearl of the Adriatic hosts millions of visitors year round who seek unique travel experiences. The meticulously well-preserved Old City, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1979, is certainly the main attraction. However, others are inspired by more than architecture, history and natural beauty as Dubrovnik’s charm can be found in the spirit of its people, cuisine, and wines – all grounded in tradition and emerging as innovative and creative, giving due recognition to talented Chefs who strive to show the abundance of the region to guests. Dubrovnik is also a premier filming destination for major entertainment projects. The popular Game of Thrones series has been here since 2011, Star Wars: Episode VIII used the white polished slabs of the Stradun as its set, the upcoming Hollywood blockbuster Robin Hood: Origins was filmed in early 2017, and in 2018, will welcome filming of the 25th installment of the James Bond spy thriller series.

Required Entry/Re-Entry Documentation/Real ID Act - when proper ID needed

Proper documentation is your responsibility. The following information gives current requirements for United States citizens, effective at time of printing. This information may change, so see your travel agent or contact the consulate for the country to which you are traveling for current requirements. 

Passengers returning to the U.S. by air from any international destination must have a valid passport, and may be denied boarding by the airline if the passport is damaged, mutilated, or has excessive wear. A “Passport Card” is not acceptable. If your name on your passport (or for non-U.S. citizens, valid travel documents) does not match your name on your travel vouchers/ tickets, you will not be allowed to travel.

Why use a Travel Agent?
Blog Name: News in Travel IndustryAuthor: Nelly Kats , Luxury Travel AdvisorPosted on: September 15, 2018
Many agents specialize in a particular niche and are very knowledgeable about a specific destination. Whether you’re interested in an all-inclusive package, a cruise, or family-friendly destinations or destination wedding and honeymoon look for an agent who can offer you tips and advice, spends a lot of time getting to know you and asks the right questions. A good and dedicated travel agent will be there at your disposal. They want your repeat business and they want to keep you as a client. They’ll spend time tying up any loose ends and making sure you’re satisfied with all the options you’ve chosen. Make sure you read the fine print. A lot of times deals seem too good to be true — and a lot of the times they are. No one wants to be suckered out of the cash they’ve worked so hard for.
