If you are there do walk on the wall of castle and fortress. The view of Mediterranean Sea is spectacular and the seafood is so tasty by the harbor which is full of new and old sailing boats. Fabulous!

Soleil10001, My hometown :) Too much tourism is killing us... Dubrovnik becomes too popular after acting as GOT Kings Landing. Visit us during spring or after the summer season...

Player #2445394, the Adriatic sea is a part of the Mediterranean sea, so it's basically IN both.

It's a shame, that the Serbian Army Shelled the City in the 1990's ,even the good Honest Germans in the second World war didn't touch the city,because of it's Architectural significance.

ToughSecret79442, When they make mistakes like that (they said Adriatic & Med) it does make me wonder if the rest & ALL answers are actually correct in all the facts ?! How do WE know ??

Player xyz, the Adriatic Sea is off of the Mediterranean Sea... the east side of the boot of Italy makes up the western shore of the Adriatic, so the two seas are attached.
