MICHAEL DOUGLAS AND CATHERINE Z-J SAIL INTO DUBROVNIK
Dubrovnik has become something of an A-list destination since a stream of Hollywood royalty discovered its pristine shores. Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones are just the latest in a long line of Tinseltown sightseers to visit the walled city and wander the cobbled streets of the charming Old Town.
Catherine made an elegant impression as she walked around Dubrovnik's Old Town
The celebrity pair have been cruising the Adriatic on a luxury yacht and couldn't resist a day trip inland. Catherine was the epitome of jet-set chic in a wide-brimmed sunhat and white dress as she recorded memories of their visit on her camera. Meanwhile husband Michael was left carrying the bags after the couple snapped up some hand-embroidered tablecloths at a local shop.

Dubrovnik - Hidden Gem of the Adriatic
What would you do if your town and your own house were bombed, shattered into mere rubble?
Clean up and invite the tourists to stay?
That is exactly what the resilient residents of Dubrovnik have done â and for that we should be thankful.
For this wonderful old town to have slipped into obscurity after suffering through the Balkans wars of the 1990s would have been a terrible shame. But, fortunately, tourists' memories are very short and what were war zones only short years ago are now among the fastest growing tourist destinations in Europe.
The Adriatic Coast of Croatia is no exception and Dubrovnik is truly its pearl.
