By day, explore sights and galleries of the Museum Island, walk along the Berlin wall. By night, check out the vibrance of nightlife of the best European clubs.
You’ll fall in love with this “Pearl of the Adriatic” as soon as you set eyes on the beauty of its old town, which takes you back centuries along cobbled streets lined by noble Baroque stone buildings.

Take the Game of Thrones walking tour, go sea kayaking, walk the city walls.

Visit St George’s Castle, get lost in the LX Factory district, enjoy live fado music in one of the clubs or bars.
