The National Museum should be on your must list. And just walking around the Old Town / Skadarlija (I’m probably spelling that wrong). I can’t offer anything current re restaurants.

The day trips I’d vote for require border crossings now, and on top of that, the places may have sustained character-altering damages during the war. But whoever’s helping to arrange your H’s business trip would probably have information for you about how hard/easy it is to go over to Croatia or Macedonia, and about the current state of these places. At any rate, way back when, Dubrovnik was just about the most captivating place I’d ever seen. And Split and Korcula (sorry, don’t know how to put in the diacritical marks) were just wonderful too, though in a very different way.

I’m sure you’re right about tickets vs. stowaways, these days. Ugh. (So you don’t have to worry about me popping out of your luggage. :D)
