Vukovar, Croatia Cruises

Vukovar, Croatia Cruise Port

• The amazing and award-winning Vukovar Municipal Museum was founded in 1948 and is now housed in Eltz Manor. It contains some of the most important artefacts from prehistory up through today, along with a collection of modern Croatian art. You'll also find a science and multimedia center along with video footage of the war that raged here.
   
• The Ovcara Memorial Center is a sobering reminder of the cost of war. A short drive from the city and not far from where Serb soldiers killed doctors and patients on the Ovcara field, the memorial is a place to reflect and honor the fallen.
   
• The Crkva Sv. Filipa i Jakova (Church of St. Filip and Jacob) is the city's main Catholic cathedral, and the third longest church in Croatia. Originally built in 1723, it sustained a lot of damage during the war but is rebuilding. A tour guide is helpful in giving information about the church and the siege that took place here.
   
• For a break from history, take a stroll along the Danube River Walkway. There's a lot of reconstruction going on, but there are still pretty rose gardens and plenty of restaurants to enjoy a meal with a view.
