Trsteno Arboretum
Trsteno, Dubrovnik Riviera, Croatia
Trsteno rewards travellers interested in the relationship between a country estate and its landscape. Around the Gučetić-Gozze summer residence, the Renaissance-Baroque garden includes a fountain and aqueduct, with further garden areas, olive groves and citrus planting extending the experience. The pleasure is in reading the designed spaces as well as looking at individual plants. Make this a dedicated excursion from Dubrovnik and leave room to linger, rather than treating the garden as a brief photographic stop.
