www.inyourpocket.com The stones of Dubrovnik tell a 13-century-long tale of survival. The Roman city of Ragusa developed into a city-state encompassing the coast as far south as the Bay of Kotor, the Pelješac Peninsula and nearby islands including Mljet and Lastovo. On the walls of Korčula Town, antique cannons still aim across a narrow channel at the village of Orebić, on Pelješac. That's because Korčula was an outpost of Dubrovnik's rival, the Republic of Venice. Legend has it that St. Blaise appeared in a vision in 971 to warn Dubrovnik of an impending Venetian invasion. He's been revered here ever since. But it's appropriate that he's the saint who is celebrated with the blessing of throats. After all, Dubrovnik remained independent and prosperous for more than a millennium on its citizens' powers of negotiation. Now Dubrovnik has thrown open its gates to an annual invasion of thousands of visitors who come to walk its ancient streets, to see the wealth the city amassed through centuries of trade, and to stand on its mighty walls and gaze across the crystalline seas. Follow In Your Pocket founder Matthias Lüfkens on a tour of the best sites of Dubrovnik. For more on Dubrovnik and Croatia check out Dubrovnik In Your Pocket dubrovnik.inyourpocket.com

slovenia.inyourpocket.com Follow In Your Pocket editor Will Dunn and Postojna guide Stanislav Glažar into the largest cave in Europe. So far, more than 20 kilometres of galleries have been found, of which barely a fraction are open to the public. All the same, a visit here still takes up much of a morning or an afternoon, as you make your way through the most spectacular parts of the cave, at first by a dinky little narrow-gauge train, and then on foot. Formed over millions of years by the Pivka river, the cave was discovered in the 17th century, though never properly explored until the early 1800s. They opened as a tourist attraction in 1819, with Franz I, Emperor of Austria, among the first to visit. Bizarrely, so popular did the caves become that electric lights were fitted in 1884 some years before such technology was first deployed in Ljubljana itself. Highlights of the cave include the enormous stalactites and stalagmites, and the quite sensational concert hall, which can (and does) hold 10000 people. The acoustics down here are said to be sensational. Note that the temperature of the cave is a chilly 10 degrees Centigrade, so bring a jumper.
