About Trsteno Arboretum
Trsteno Arboretum, now cared for by the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts, grew from the summer garden of a noble Ragusan family, laid out above the sea north of Dubrovnik from the late 15th century. It is the most important historic garden and landscape complex on the Croatian Adriatic. Wander shaded paths among ancient trees and exotic plants, past fountains and pavilions, to terraces with views across the open sea. Allow a couple of hours, and in season look out for boat excursions that pair Trsteno with Lokrum in a single day.
