Vukovar river cruises, Croatia

What's great about Vukovar river cruises?

Vukovar’s had a hard time in recent years – it was completely destroyed during a battle with Yugoslavia in 1991. These days, a lot of the city’s been preserved as a memorial to the people who fought to defend it. The dainty town centre’s a mix of red brick buildings and wartime museums, which shine a spotlight on the town’s grizzly history. Learn about it during a walk around the photo exhibits in the museum at Eltz Manor, an 18th-century castle that was restored in 2011. The bullet-riddled water tower, which hasn’t been touched since the fighting, is a must-see spot, too. And when you’re done, the banks along the Vuka River are great for a relaxing stroll.
