Venice? Humbug... Dubrovnik is the World's Most Romantic City

By Erick Prince-Heaggans

Dubrovnik, Croatia is sometimes billed as the Jewel of the Adriatic. What they don’t tell you is that it’s a place anyone should check off their travel list. If you’re hesitating about popping the question, don’t take your significant other here. Dubrovnik is the stuff romantic comedies are built on—beautiful cafes, seaside breezes, blooming flowers. Did I mention you can’t walk 10 feet without running into someone on their honeymoon? Terrible.

In all seriousness, Dubrovnik is a lovely place for singles and couples alike. With its well-preserved Old Town, seaside location, and relatively affordable prices, Dubrovnik is poised to move beyond a cruise ship stop and supplant Paris as the city of romance. With photos like these, you’ll see why.
