Beautifull place Dubrovnik ,i have been about 20times there ,i will go back again greeting from Rupublike of Kosova croatians best people ever 🇽🇰
I love you Croatia! 🇭🇷💙
From Albania 🇦🇱
user new lovo Croatia from kosovo 🇽🇰
what a beautiful lovely city. I traveled to Dubrovnik when i was 11 years old on a cruise of the Mediterranean and it was by far my favorite city...great memories
Those damn flip-flops have probably visited more places already than i ever will :D
Amazing historical architecture.
It's really very nice city! Dubrovnik has a specific historical spirit! Great video))
In Dubrovnik, I ate the most delicious lasagna I've ever eaten. Croatia is a very beautiful country and nice people ... the Balkan paradise.
Vitalii Kyrychenko whats the place called? i love lasagne and dont mind flying there anyways
Thank you in Croatia wee dont like to hear word Balkan real begining after our south border in mind of Croatia people.One more time Thank you
Word "Balkan" is insult for croatians. Thank you.
Man, that's an awesome old city. Just walking those winding streets would be cool!
I would love to go here. You can sense the history. I love the old style architecture and how its almost one big castle/empire ! beautiful
I spent 18 days road tripping around both Croatia and Slovenia in May. Both countries are beautiful and people friendly and helpful. May is a great time to go anywhere really as it's off season yet the weather is comfortable and less people around. Although next road trip is in America I am looking forward to coming back to this area in the future to explore.
Stunning city...
Most beautiful city in the world !
Nice video! Thanks for sharing! DUBROVNIK (The House Of Thrones) is amazing! I visited the city in 2018, including Split/Makarska & Podgora Beach.
The stonework on the walkways, the wall and the buildings is cool. I bet it took a very long time. Beautiful city. Thanks for sharing
4:37 za popizdit haha
Incredibly beautiful!! I know my cousins have been there. I must go in the near future.
I hope to visit this place one day.I liked your video, amazing one. :)
Thanks for all the nice videos Gabriel...I will probably never have the chance to travel to all the places you have been to. But at the very least ..through your videos..I have seen it. Keep travelling.
We were there in 2019. Great city. Thank you for views from the wall!
On my bucket list!
Super job as always. Thanks
So very cool! Keep going. Cheers.
You should definetly go on Croatian islands, they are all amazing 😀
I've been around, but Dubrovnik is my absolute favorite.
A very inspiring history of Filipinos, especially for those who live in the US.
With love from India....
One of the most traveling man
The only thing wrong with this place is that there are far, far too many tourist. The place is breathtakingly beautiful. Just amazing and you did such a fantastic job on the video. Thanks Gabe.
It would be a lot better to visit during off season, whenever that is exactly. With about 80% less people it would be a nice town.
WOW amazing! thanks for sharing this
I’ll be there very soon. I’m going backpacking in the Balkans at the end of September! It will be my first time in Europe.
Don't go there. People eat ears there. They just jump on you and bit your ear. They like ears there.

Bila jednom jedna smrdija, a to je srbia
Thanks that's really cool. ✌
I enjoy your videos, and the realness of kind of an "everyday" visitor going there. I've only been to Montenegro, have always wanted to go to Croatia and many of the other places you've been, so thanks for making these videos - they'll be good guides on "getting started" when I visit. I also think it's cool that you're attempting the language. I'm sure someone may have pointed it out to you before, but when you say "ulica", you're pronouncing it "you-lick-uh", whereas the u makes an oo sound, i makes an ee sound, and c makes a ts sound, so it's more like "oo-lee-tsa" :) Hope that helps
Very Nice!! 👍👍❤
You should go on the cable car at the top are some great views and a museum on the Balkan war and what happened in Dubrovnik it is really interesting!
Matt Felton I went there. Took a taxi/guide to the top. One of the most interesting places in Dubrovnik.
Like the "still" shots. Helps put people in better context!
(What a gorgeous video, btw!)
Thanks.
Lovely Place 😍❤
Excellent video. I am going there. I saw your video on Montenegro, I want to ride the train into the mountains
Really enjoy your stuff, Gabe.
Thanks, glad to hear it!
Great video 👍✌
Fantastican video o Hrvatskoj ..Paradise na planeti..! Hvala na postavci im pozdrav iz Kanade! :-)
This was a lucky day, I can tell ya! Be happy to have had a cloudy day, because a day with only blue skies in summer in Dubrovnik is like you feel like a chicken in an oven.
Oh and fun fact: When you took a turn up this little alley and you passed the two guys one with the light blue shirt said:"But this situation is to be really to be pissed about!" XD (He was definitely angry about something!)...it gets lost in translation...obviously. ^^
Wow! We are going to have to find a different time of year to visit! That many people and claustrophobia sets in.😝
We were almost swept out to sea in Dubrovnik, Croatia 1987
That was a nice video, and a nice lunch but I didnt see your usual beer?
hello, where do you get the info on which bus to take to next destination and whats your sort of daily budget inc travel to next destination, thanks!!
Really cool lookin city
1:01 *A Croatian Kitty!!! 😻 I just LUV Pointing Kitties out in your Vids Gabriel! I'm a Crazy Cat Girl! While on a Cruise, I went Gaga for this "Mexican Kitty" 😻 who was chilling with it's Buddy, a HUGE Iguana 🐉 in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico! As a Mexican-American, of course I spoke Spanish to them! 😂 Thx 4 sharing your Amazing Journey!* ✌
song begins @ 6,33 by Jincheng Zhang Oneself....very cool track
Cool vid!
Im off on another multi country trip next week, starting in Nice and ending in dubrovnik
Nice to see your vid as I was looking for ideas of sightseeing,
Already seen your NICE one
Sweet, have a great trip.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos
Thanks mate
I hope to explore Dubrovnik well
All the best
Really enjoyed this video.! Did you take any selfie there?
Nope, I didn't. I haven't been taking hardly any pictures on this trip. Just shooting video.
"....and now it is besieged by tourists.." hahahah, so true! But then, that holds true for almost all touristy cities.. I would probably just freeze my backside and visit in winter, rather than face that crowd!
Very nice looking city. I have to wonder what it looked like before the conflict.
We were in Dubrovnik in 1987
Dubrovnik is WAS my favorite city in the world. Until Game of thrones turned it into a cess pool of obnoxious tourists and stupid tours. I long for the days when you could actually stroll around the streets without bumping into someone at every turn! And the prices are WAY expensive. I recommend people buy their drinks and snacks at markets outside the old city before going.
As much as I’d love to visit this place, it absolutely screams tourist HELL!
Which Balkan Country do you like the most? Which places would you recommend? Looking Forward to see vidos from Albania! :)
u do nice videos
nice
Do you have any plans to visit any of these countries next? Greece,Italy,Romania,Bulgaria,Turkey. That'd be awesome to watch!
Definitely Greece, probably not Italy. The others are possibilities but I'm really not sure yet. I'd say Turkey is unlikely, though I would like to go back there, but that's a bit out of the way. Perhaps another trip.
awesome, can't wait to see some more of the amazing greek islands :D
phone camera is much better quality!
Did you see the bullet holes in the walls?
you did a good job with doing your haircut yourself :)
Thanks.
Such a stunning city and setting, I would love to visit - but so many tourists...I wonder if winter is quieter there.
Yeah I'm sure winter is a totally different scene, must be really peaceful.
it is.....but is is nicer in dalmatia during winter then in main land.just dont go to the dalmatia during early spring......because of bura wind.bura has average speed over 200kph
Cheers, great advice. I hope to visit some day.
was there not enough to do in Dubrovnik to keep you there for more than a day, or are you just under time constraints?
I'd heard it was even more touristy than Split, so with that in mind I planned to just check it out for a day and keep cruising.
good call. Dubrovnik is awesome, but the tourists.......don't get me started. And because of the tourists the place is really expensive. when going to Croatia, stick to the smaller towns on the islands for a true experience.
Kings Landing :)
In 2007 it was free to walk the city wall.
How much did the city walls ticket cost?
I think he said Euro 20 for a one-hour tour of the wall...
How much did the last meal cost?
Unfortunately I didn't write it down and didn't say it in the video, and couldn't remember since that was two weeks ago. Pretty sure it was more than $20. Dubrovnik definitely isn't cheap.
Hey Gabriel. Do you ever get tired from all this backpacking and traveling or it becomes like a drug and you cant stop it? My dream is to travel this much and to know my planet but unfortunately i don't have the money to do it.
It's like a drug and I get tired of it. :) Will probably go back to the U.S. next month to get a break, though I still have some adventurous ideas for back in my home country.
Gabriel Traveler, I see! I need to find a way to make money and travel, i would love to be on the road for 3 months and then when tiredness or lonelynes kicks in to be home for a few months then start it again. Im living in eastern Europe and here is kinda hard to make money for traveling. Cant really sleep well in hostels without my privacy and hotels eats your pockets fast.
9:17 getting that gram shot
Go Croatia from Albania 🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷
Gabe. You said it cost 20 euro to walk the walls. So is that 20 per person? I'm going there in August, so I'd like to know that as I'm taking 2 (12 & 14) teenagers with me. I don't fancy paying 60 euros for walking walls (though I wanna walk them, but I'm sure my company wont lol).
Yes, that's per person. Maybe there's a discounted rate for children, not sure. You should be able to find the prices online.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Cheers
dude u should head over to western mosul, another great old city, plenty of charm, and I'm sure u could find a cheap place to stay
Isn't that in Iraq? Or you mean another one?
yea that's in northern Iraq, lol I was just joking bud stay safe out there. always keep ur money in ur front pocket and I would tie that camera to ur wrist while u film I'm worried someone could grab it out ur hand pretty easy, and I would have a small knife on me at all times if I were u. also never trust 2 guys on a motorcycle, shit happens quick and u are alone alot.. but don't dwell on that u will be fine, I'm a little jealous of what u do I love to travel but I'm stuck at home going to work everyday.. 😉👍
Carrying a knife is bad advice generally and particularly bad advice when traveling in Western or Southern Europe where crime rates are low.
yea the knife might be a bit much if ur not into stuff like that, I like to fight back if possible but there is other ways to deal. prevention is a good one, don't give anyone an easy opportunity get you. majority of people preying on tourists are looking for the easy targets. I have been robbed by gun and knife it's not fun.. keep your wits about u out there
Hi Gabriel, Is your you tube channel videos helping you to cover your travel cost?
Yes. I make enough from youtube to fully cover my travel costs (if I keep it cheap). :)
Do you think the socialblade website giving us the accurate information regarding to the estimate earnings and TH-cam progress? I have a TH-cam channel too, but didn't launch it yet. better to ask it from the experienced you tuber.
We're do u prefer better split our Dubrovnik?
I preferred Split.
Dubrovnik is much better than Split and cleaner. Cavtat near Dubrovnik is very nice place and sea is very clean. I dont like Split. I will never come there again.
Welcome the Westeros
PLEASE COME TO BRAZIL
Why you did not visit Zagreb? Zagreb is a nice city, bigger than Ljubljana or Sarajevo. I am glad that you have nice time in Rovinj, Zadar and Dubrovnik.
Mate Lozancic vrlo si bezobrazan i ne pišeš istinu kada opisuješ Zagreb. Prljavijeg grada od Splita i Brela stvarno nisam nigdje u Hrvatskoj vidjela. Da ne govorim da su u Brelima u hotelu Soline u ljeto 2001. servirali za ručak pokvarenu hranu. Puno ljudi je oboljelo od crijevne viroze među njima i ja. Sredinom 1980-tih splitska riva je smrdila kao kuga, a more ispred rive je bilo prljavo i sivo kao septička jama. Dakle kanalizacija je otjecala u more direktno ispred rive. Sve je smrdilo. Ma užas živi. Iste godine bila sam u Rijeci i more je svugdje u gradu bilo potpuno čisto. Split je takva rupa i potpuno beznačajan grad. Ima puno ljepših i čišćih gradova u Hrvatskoj: Rovinj, Novigrad, Pula, Karlobag, Dubrovnik, Cavtat, Zagreb
Mate Lozancic Kakav si ti zlonamjerni lažljivac! Zagreb izgleda fenomenalno!
chosenone4447 In my opinion best city for summer vacation is Cavtat near Dubrovnik. Sea is very clean and there are nice old buildings in Cavtat. Hotel Croatia in Cavtat is also best hotel near the sea.
Taj Zagreb kojeg ti toliko mrziš da ga pljuješ bez da te netko prozvao je produkt svih nas, cijele Hrvatske i diaspore ukljućujuči i tebe, u stvari si ti taj "small minded" koje toliko mrziš.
Split je grad čije je predgrađe izgrađeno poput favela u Brazilu. Tako nešto nisam nigdje vidjela. Zagreb je ipak planski izgrađen grad koji nudi puno mogućnosti i u svakom slučaju je čišći od Splita i Beograda. Beograd je veliki grad, dosta veći od Zagreba, ali je isto planski građen, jedino što sam pročitala da nije baš čist. Ne može se to uspoređivati sa prljavim Splitom. Išla sam u Split kao dijete skoro svako ljeto na barem tjedan dana i jedva sam čekala da se vratim u Zagreb i da odem u Crikvenicu na kupanje.
So many tourists because of Game of Thrones "King's Landing"
7th century wall damaged by bombing in 1991 ! We are very civilized now days, ah?
4:37 ovo je za popizdit :D
Gabriel, you can also hike up to the top for free.
I'm sure the views are epic. But I already had a big hike to get back to my hostel. Also I could have paid for the tram but I wanted to get back to my room to work on my next video. Factoring in video editing rules my traveling experience right now.
Hrvatska is most beautiful country i Europe. I recomend to visit Zdar or Krk too.
+chosenone4447 Krk is an island, Krka is a river/national park.
Here's my video from Zadar:
th-cam.com/video/MM_NrXlEOsE/w-d-xo.html
I almost went to Krk (the island). I was checking accommodation, and then I realized it was going to be complicating trying to get around the island without a car and decided it sounded like too much hassle at the time. If I go back to Croatia sometime then I'll definitely plan to go there, as well as the Kirka waterfalls and a lot of other places. Croatia has so much to see.
I didnt see one local
I'd really like to know how much you payed for that dinner :)
I was going to include the price, but I couldn't remember what I paid for it, since that was close to two weeks ago now. I should have said it in the video.
Does anyone know if Croatia is safe for black travelers to visit?
Im from montenegro and here is perfectly safe so its safe in croatia for sure
Come to Slavonia (Croatian region), then speak about how beautiful it is...
Gotta ask Gabriel... do you ever get lonely?
is it possible to get lonely travelling ? The amount of people in the streets, conversation can be started anytime anywhere whilst travelling. i get more lonely with my same group of friends and the same way of life . I'm not Gabriel i know, so i can't answer for him But thought i'd share my opinion
@chosenone....since prayer is just wishful thinking you can stop worrying like a little baby about those terrible refugees. BTW many countries have taken in European refugees in the past when they were in need. Don't they offer history in your country? Also the UK in 2015 had 118,000 refugees in its borders. Why do you post such nonsense? Are you afraid of the dark too?
Good question. I suspect that Gabriel's passion for adventure and new lands outweighs any pangs of loneliness from solo travel.
Trust me...this type of traveling is better when you are alone...personal experience for life
chosenone4447 you're pretty much right except for the Japan and UK fact.. British has taken a lot and Japan is never an option because they can't just make the trip half way around the world in an island surrounded by ocean. Now lets talk about the other countries you mentioned.
1. Saudi Arabia is a fucked up selfish country so they wouldn't take refugees there.
2.Europeans has presented the real humanity and generosity by taking thousands of refugees (by "refugees" I mean Syrians, Iraqis, Afghans and others from war-torn countries) but now a lot(hundreds of thousands) of people are flooding Europe from Africa who are from peaceful countries just to have a better living, which one day bring an economic disaster.
Although many of them didn't want to come to Europe but forced to flee by Human traffickers.
& Last but not the Least USA. You don't want people from outside, we understand that . That's fine. but first stop sending your troops to those countries and bombing them. First you send troops to middle east and start a war, kill millions for Oil and your friends in weapons industry and then you don't let them get shelter to your country. That's just fucked up shit. They would have stayed in their countries peacefully if USA didn't create the civil war in middle east by funding ISIS at the first place. Unlike you Europe isn't policing all over the world. bloody hypocrites.
:-)
"Grad" is pronunced [grad] (like in "bud"), not [græ:d] (as in "bad").
I fucking love Hrvatska
And you somehow didnt visit most important city, Zagreb. It is one of biggest and most amazing cities u could visit. It has more restaurants and amazing wierd food and all kinds of attractions then rest of whole Croatia, and it is 10x better and bigger then Ljubljana.
I'll have to visit Zagreb the next time. It was out of the way from where I was in Piran, Slovenia to go there by bus and then come back to the coast.
Mate Lozancic 200yrs ago ? really ? please dont say nothing else !
Mate Lozancic sta si sad ti tu nabrojao
Mate Lozancic hahah pa necu pricat na engleskom. zna se koji se jezik prica od 10 stoljeca. HRVATSKI ❤
Mate Lozancic onda bi bilo fer da englezi pricaju na Hrvatskom posto ne znaju svi engleski
'stari grad' is probably Russian language word for old city.
Yes, it is.
Ilyas Ghauri These are croatian words, russian is very similar but not the same ('grad' in russian is 'gorod', and 'stari' is a bit different as well)
I wish they never filmed Game of Thrones in Dubrovnik. Now its overfilled with tourists who associate this part of the country only with this tv show. Nothing is in croatia like it used to be. Should have also never joined the EU. Slowly our beauty is being taken away and put into hands of construction firms and private foreign owners. A shame.
Kotor is not as touristy
Yeah Kotor was nice: th-cam.com/video/vwyrJRXP-XE/w-d-xo.html
I was Dub. one week, a nice city and very poor video.
Balkan?????? That's not wright!!!!
tourists looting the new normal
walls that's all , budva and kotor are better places
Ahahahahaha
Are you even trying to pronounce anything right tho?
