Nowhere else in the world is there a collection of Gandharan art more extensive than that of the Peshawar Museum, housed inside an attractive Victorian building (much of the Gandharan section was closed for renovations as of fall 2017, so do give a call prior to visiting).

The Grocery Museum is a charming little establishment and a museum that offers sweets, such as liquorice, butter cookies and more, all of them locally made in Utrecht. The museum is housed in a 17th-century building, which initially served solely as a shop. Today it is both a shop and an exhibition space displaying a range of nostalgic items, including treats and artefacts reminiscent of the 19th century.

In only ten minutes, a boat from the Old City Harbour will take you to the Island of Lokrum, a special forestry reserve under UNESCO protection. A favourite bathing and excursion place in close proximity to the City, Lokrum is also the exotic and mysterious venue of many legends and stories. A small lake on the island called Mrtvo More, 'Dead Sea', is suitable for children and non-swimmers. Walk to the highest point of Lokrum, the elevation with the star-shaped Fort Royal, built by the French in 1806. The place offers a magnificent view of Dubrovnik, Cavtat and the islands.
