Stradun

Manzara

A place where locals and visitors alike gather day and night! Undoubtedly one of Europe's most picturesque pedestrian thoroughfares, the Stradun boasts many cafés and restaurants and is a good spot to get in some shopping, or to rest weary feet after a day touring Dubrovnik. Measuring 300 meters in length and famous for its white limestone paving, the street dates back to 1468, although many of the surrounding buildings were built in the 17th century after the devastating earthquake of 1667, when most of Dubrovnik was heavily damaged.

Church of St. Salvation

Kilise

Built in the early 16th century! It is in fact one of only a few buildings to have survived the devastating earthquake of 1667 intact. Today, this small place of worship is well worth visiting for its fine Gothic and Renaissance features.

Walls of Dubrovnik

Meşhur

The wall of "Game of Thrones" Built in the 10th century and modified in the 13th and 14th centuries, these formidable walls–as high as six meters in places, and up to six meters thick–provided a solid defense against invaders. Totaling nearly two kilometers in length, Dubrovnik's city walls make a great spot for a casual stroll and offer numerous excellent views over the Adriatic and inwards over the old city center.

Lovrijenac

Mutlaka Görülmeli

A rocky promontory! Fort Lovrijenac–also known as St. Lawrence Fortress–has long been one of Croatia's most important fortresses. Rising an impressive 37 meters above the Adriatic, this stunning fortification proved impregnable during the many sieges undertaken by the Venetians from its completion in the 11th century onwards. Legend, in fact, has it that the Venetians themselves planned to build a fort here but were beaten to it by industrious city folk.

Minceta Tower

Tarihi

The tower casts an imposing shadow on the old town below! The tower was also one of the major settings for a pivotal scene in Game of Thrones, where Daenerys goes to search for her stolen dragons. The Minceta tower, located at the north end of the wall system near the Pile Gate, is the farthest inland of all the towers making it one of the best spots to get that perfect shot out over the old town with its wonderful orange rooftops. Be brave and scale the narrow stairways to the top; the flow of visitors can be tricky at times, so pack a bit of patience on your way up.

Dubrovnik Cable Car

Manzara

The views only getting better and better! The journey lasts less than 10 minutes, and once deposited at the top, you're free to explore the area. Attractions to look out for include the 19th century Imperial Fortress, built by the French during their occupation of the region and now housing a fascinating exhibit pertaining to the Homeland War of 1991-1995, when the city was defended against hostile forces. There's also a restaurant boasting spectacular views over the Old Town, along with unique shopping, including a fascinating traditional coin minting blacksmith shop.

Rector's Palace

Meşhur

The city's Cultural Historical Museum! It has been much altered through the centuries. A beautiful mix of late Gothic and early Renaissance styles, this splendid old palace was heavily damaged by a gunpowder explosion not long after its completion, later by a fire, and then again in 1667 when an earthquake struck. These days, this well-preserved building is a delight to explore, particularly its pleasant central courtyard. If possible, try to time your visit to coincide with one of its regular summer classical music performances.

Vrata od Ploča

Tarihi

Famous Pile Gate! It has served as the main entrance and is still the most interesting access point to this fabulous old city. Formerly surrounded by a moat complete with a drawbridge built in 1537, the pedestrian-only Pile Gate–one of two entrances to the Lapad area–also boasts a pleasant garden in the old moat.

Dominican Monastery

Tarihi

Sea and history inside here! Built in the early 1300s, Dubrovnik's Dominican Monastery was so large that construction required moving parts of the city walls just to accommodate it. Heavily damaged in the 1667 earthquake, the monastery was completely rebuilt in its present form with special attention given to preserving features such as its splendid late Gothic cloister (the original was designed by Michelozzo di Bartolomeo of Florence in the 15th century). A particular highlight is visiting the monastery's museum, with its many 15th- and 16th-century religious paintings in the style of the Dubrovnik (also known as the Venetian) School, along with interesting items of gold and silver and other relics.

Lokrum

Mutlaka Görülmeli

The beauty of green in the middle of blue sea! Located just 600 meters from Dubrovnik, the island of Lokrum is pretty hard to miss. If you've got time in your Dubrovnik sightseeing itinerary, hop aboard the short ferry ride to this fascinating island. In addition to the superb views over the Old Town of Dubrovnik, there are a few interesting attractions you'll find here worth exploring. Head first to Fort Royal Castle, a fortification constructed by Napoleon's troops to defend the harbor city. It's an easy climb, and the views in all directions are spectacular.

Banje Beach

Sahil

Widely regarded as one of the top beaches in Croatia! In addition to water sports activities such as sea kayaking and windsurfing, it's also a pleasant place for a stroll, especially after enjoying a meal at one the many restaurants or luxury hotels nearby. Although a little farther away, the beaches lining the Lapad peninsula are worth visiting, too. An easy four-kilometer drive or bus ride from the Old Town, you'll find three main beaches to explore and relax on: Cava, Uvala Bay, and the tropical sounding Copacabana.

Dubrovnik Cathedral

Kilise

Fascinating building from the 6th century! Notable for its three aisles, three apses, and splendid interior décor, the cathedral includes highlights such as paintings by Italian and Dalmatian artists from the 16th to 18th centuries, including the Virgin of the Chair by Raphael from the early 1600s. A must see is the Cathedral Treasury (Riznica Katedrale) with its many important relics, the most famous being a portion of the cross that Jesus is thought to have been crucified upon.
