Watch the sunset over Dubrovnik from a hidden 'hole in the wall' bar

Dubrovnik

You’ll need the dexterity of a mountain goat to navigate the staircase, and a good nose to hunt out its location, but hidden in the walls of Croatia’s Dubrovnik, on the edge of the city and overlooking the Adriatic Sea, is Buža.

The only bar to sit on the sea-facing side of the city’s walls. It’s not mentioned in tourist brochures but ask any local for the “hole-in-the-wall bar” and they’ll nod you towards the cliff edge. If you’re lucky, you’ll find it in time for sunset.

“When you see the small yellow sign "cold drinks with the most beautiful view" when wandering throught the back alleys of Old Town, you've come to the right place - the famous Buza Bar!”
