The Best Places to Visit in Dubrovnik
Dubrovnik's old town
- Most of your stay will be spent within Dubrovnik's historic city walls, dating back to the 9th century.
- The walls were built and renovated over the ages to protect the city from natural disasters and enemy armies; now, they encircle shining stone structures and the 300-meter-long pedestrian street known as Stradun.
- You'll fly between Pile and Ploe, the city's two gates, cobblestone streets studded with lovely stores and sea-to-table restaurants.
- To capture the spirit of Dubrovnik.
- Cats scatter from the old waterfront as a chorus of tour guides give their spiels.
- Until you approach the Pile Gate's bus-clogged hub, everything is traffic-free.
Island idyll
- Lokrum is an uninhabited isle on the outskirts of Dubrovnik, covered with pines, palms, and cypress trees. Ploe's lush shoreline beckons from the hotel windows.
- It has long been left over to nature, dotted with various ruins and relics - mediaeval, ecclesiastical, Napoleonic, Habsburg.
- Even though taxi boats transport tourists from Dubrovnik every half-hour - you can enjoy a beer in Dubrovnik's main square and be here in 20 minutes - no one is allowed to spend the night.
- According to legend, the Benedictine monks expelled from France cursed Napoleon's armies.
- Following this misfortune, the Habsburgs transformed Lokrum into their summer resort, complete with peacocks and botanical gardens.
Game of Thrones tour
- Since the filming of series two, when it replaced Malta as the favoured setting for the capital of the Seven Kingdoms, Dubrovnik has served as the location for the fantasy city of King's Landing.
- It's becoming more difficult to conceive of 'Game Of Thrones' without images of Dubrovnik flashing through one's head.
- In our guide, you'll find GoT landmarks.
- Take a walking tour with a knowledgeable local firm.
- With its signature stone staircase, the Rector's Palace's inner courtyard was utilised for Daenerys and the Spice King's encounter in Qarth in series two, episode five.

Dubrovnik Off the Beaten Track
The City Walls
- The stroll through Dubrovnik's walls is the most accessible and most popular itinerary for visitors.
- The primary entrance and ticket office to the City Walls is correct as you enter the ancient town through the Pile Gate.
- You can take an hour or an afternoon at your leisure.
- Although English-language audio guides are available at the main entrance, most visitors are pleased with random views of red-tiled rooftops or, better still, the vast blue of the Adriatic, intermingled with pure white stones thrusting into it from various angles down below.
The cable car to Srđ
- The sparkling orange cablecar soaring high above the old town is a tourist attraction and a piece of history.
- Mount Sr has played an essential role in the city's history, serving as a border against the Turks, a Napoleonic fort, and, most recently, during the Yugoslav Wars in 1991.
- It's pricey, but that doesn't matter because you'll be up in no time, the ancient town nearly disappearing as an Adriatic blue panorama dominates the horizon.
- The cable car is the best way to round off your vacation to one of the gorgeous cities on the planet.

Dubrovnik: Food, Fun & Fashion Guide

Stradun, Old Town
#Fashion
- Take a stroll down Stradun, the Old Town's main street, to find the city's most active shopping district.
- Visitors come from all over to experience the Old Town beauty behind the ancient city walls, so it's no surprise that there are so many fantastic stores here as well.
- Everything from designer clothing stores and independent boutiques to jewellery stores, art galleries, and many souvenir shops (some traditional, some not so much).
- Check out what shops are buried in Stradun's short side streets to avoid missing out on some hidden gems.

Gruž Market
#Fashion
- Nothing like visiting the stalls of a local, open-air market while on vacation, and Gru Market is the perfect spot in Dubrovnik to do just that.
- This market near the main harbour focuses on fresh, local goods rather than presents and souvenirs.
- It's where all the residents, not just visitors to the city, go to get the best fruits, vegetables, and seafood (brought in daily from the Elaphiti Islands).
- Gru Market is an excellent spot to experience the Croatian way of life because it is much larger and less congested than the Old Town market.
- If you want to obtain some fresh and delicious food for yourself, get there early before the most incredible stuff sells out!
