A South African content creator has Mzansi dreaming of cobblestone streets and Adriatic Sea views after showing just how far R1 500 can stretch in Dubrovnik, Croatia. TikTok user @travelwithlindi posted her Croatian travel diary on 28 July 2026, walking followers through a packed day in one of Europe's most iconic cities.
Fortress views and city walls
She kicked things off with a R763 Dubrovnik Pass, which covered entry to several of the city's major historic sites, making it the smartest expenditure of her day. Breakfast was a viral TikTok-recommended chicken burek at R172, washed down with supermarket drinks for just R39. From there, she made her way through Rector's Palace and the famous "Walk of Shame" steps, a location instantly recognisable to fans of the hit series *Game of Thrones*, which filmed extensively in the city.
She climbed to a fortress overlooking the Adriatic, then tackled the 1.9km walk along Dubrovnik's historic city walls, one of the best-preserved medieval fortifications in Europe. The day ended with a Balkan dinner featuring ćevapi and churros, rounding off a full day of sightseeing for a total of R1 500.
