A wooded island just off Dubrovnik's harbor, reachable by boat in fifteen minutes. Lokrum hides a botanical garden, the ruins of a Benedictine monastery, a small saltwater lake, and peacocks roaming freely — a perfect escape from the city's bustle.
Ferry from the Old Port 27€ return (includes entrance). Departures every half hour 9am-6pm. Swimming in the Dead Sea (salt lake) is a must-have experience.
