🏰
City Walls of Dubrovnik
The nearly two-kilometer-long, fully walkable fortress wall encloses the entire old town and offers breathtaking views of the red tile roofs and the deep blue sea from its towers, which is why the city has been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1979.
🛍️
Stradun
The smoothly polished limestone street forms the main axis of the old town and is lined with Baroque facades, small boutiques, and cafés, especially impressive early in the morning before the large crowds or in the evening under the warm light of the street lamps.
🚡
Cable Car to Srđ
The cable car takes visitors in just a few minutes from the old town up the 412-meter local mountain, where a grand panoramic view opens over the entire old town, the Adriatic, and the offshore Elaphiti Islands, especially impressive at sunset.
⛵
Lokrum Island
The small, uninhabited island off the old town can be reached by boat in just a few minutes and delights with a botanical garden, quiet swimming coves, and a population of free-roaming peacocks — a popular escape from the old town's bustle.
