The magazine says that the Croatian city appeared on their radar two years ago when Beyonce and Jay-Z holidayed there, and that ever since, its popularity has been increasing. 

 

With its bustling and lively atmosphere, lovely restaurants, bars and shops, and a number of luxury hotels, including the beautiful rooms and views of Excelsior’s Hotel & Spa, the magazine adds that Dubrovnik is a perfect place for a luxury weekend break.

 

Apart from Dubrovnik, Marie Claire’s top destinations recommended for autumn breaks included Bath, Edinburgh, Copenhagen, County Wicklow (Ireland), Dubai, The Cotswolds, York, Venice, The Lake District, Prague, The New Forest, Stockholm, Derbyshire, Oxford, Rome, Devon, Paris, Marrakech and Gran Canaria.
