5. Dubrovnik, Croatia

Dubrovnik saw a massive spike in tourism after being featured as the filming location for King’s Landing in Game of Thrones, and while you won’t find any mad kings (or queens) here in real life, the beauty of this city at the edge of the Adriatic is very real. Wander the limestone streets and walk along the ancient city walls, or take a short ferry ride to the island of Lokrum. Here, you can hike through the botanical garden, catch a glimpse of the wild peacocks, and climb to the top of an abandoned 11th-century monastery for stunning panoramic views.

Dubrovnik was beaten only by San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, San Sebastián, Spain, Salzburg, Austria, and Siena, ItalySan Miguel de Allende, Mexico, San Sebastián, Spain, Salzburg, Austria, and Siena, Italy. See the full list here.
