Live your fairytale in southern Croatia
Southern Croatia dazzles with some of Europe’s clearest night skies and a captivating mix of ancient city romance and untamed countryside.
Start in Dubrovnik, with its impressive walls, fortresses and palaces – an instantly recognisable UNESCO World Heritage Site that’s served as a backdrop for Game of Thrones and countless other films and shows.
You’re right on the doorstep of nature, with the enchanting Elaphiti Islands – once a retreat for Dubrovnik’s aristocracy – just a day-trip’s boat ride away.
About 90 minutes northwest, the landscape shifts to the fertile Neretva Valley, a lush wetland carved by the meandering River Neretva, also famed for its mandarin groves. Food-lovers come for Pelješac wines, Ston’s famous oysters, and traditional octopus dishes.
Are you an active traveller? Try windsurfing on Pelješac or kitesurfing in the Neretva Valley. It’s all happening here.

Embrace art, music and culture in Leipzig
Leipzig’s legendary cultural scene is all about contrasts.
Classical music fans can honour J.S. Bach’s timeless legacy, while those drawn to the avant garde will find plenty to impress at the city’s Oper Leipzig and Gewandhaus concert hall.
Architecturally, Leipzig is just as diverse, with the vast Monument to the Battle of the Nations harmonising delightfully with sleek, modern structures. Art-lovers can linger over Renaissance portraits at the Museum of Fine Arts, then cross town for bold contemporary works in the Spinnerei galleries.
With a cultural calendar that spans highbrow theatre and grassroots festivals, Leipzig offers far more than cosy baroque charm – it invites you to see the classics with fresh eyes and come away inspired.
