…th Century. Dubrovnik Croatia Dubrovnik Croatia Dubrovnik Croatia Rector’s Palace Dubrovnik On Monday we arrived and docked outside Dubrovnik, also in Croatia. It is a city that I have wanted to visit for a long time based on the pictures I had seen of it. While larger cruise ships dock some distance away, we were a short tender trip into the old city harbour. A number of the buildings in the city were used in the “Game of Thrones” TV series for K…

From the docking point in the heart of the city the included tour explores the best of Budapest including the impressive Heroes Square and the palace and Matthias Church high up on Castle Hill, which also offers panoramic views across the entire city.

We chose a strip view which I highly recommend as you get a stunning view both in the day and especially at night. As the hotel takes the top 5 floors all are great.

It became Crown property in 1461 and remained a royal castle for the next 350 years, during which time the Council of the Marches was formed with responsibility for the…
…rilliant location, as is very easy walking distance to Charles Bridge, the Palace and Lesser Town square where many trams pass through. The gym in the basement is well equipped and a decent size. The spa seemed expensive. A lovely hotel. Very classy and you feel special staying there. Here is my initial review based on that first visit: The Rocco Forte chain owns the beautiful hotel called The Augustine in Prague. I had been booked in there for ju…

So before the busy part of the river. The tour when traffic is light is just over an hour and around 18 pounds for adults.I enjoyed it a lot, though we did not really show our visitors a lot of London and get loads of great photos. But…
