OVERVIEW
Trsteno botanical garden, part of an old summer residence of the Dubrovnik aristocracy, will take you back to a time very different from today, when Dubrovnik merchants and sailors brought plants from all over the known world to plant them in the gardens of the noble families. This garden gained fame recently as one of the filming locations for HBO’s Game of Thrones series.
After the garden you will cross the border into Bosnia & Herzegovina (passports mandatory!) where you will visit a true natural wonder – Vjetrenica Cave. This, one of the longest caves in Europe, today draws people who marvel at its beauty and come here to cool off during the summer as the inside temperature is always constant.
Before returning, enjoy a lunch of delicacies from Herzegovina in a fantastic nearby restaurant set in an old train station. The scenic ride back to Dubrovnik will make a perfect end to a morning well spent.
