Rick Steves' Europe S06E03 · Dubrovnik and Balkan Side-Trips

Overview

Nestled inside its mighty ramparts is Dubrovnik, the "Pearl of the Adriatic." From this remarkably preserved medieval fortress city, we venture into less-touristed corners of the former Yugoslavia. In Montenegro, we sail the fjord-like Bay of Kotor and explore its mysterious, mountainous interior. And in Bosnia, we visit Mostar — war-torn in the '90s, but bursting with promise today.
