Walk the Ancient City Walls
It is a must-do on any Dubrovnik itinerary to include a walk along the Ancient City Walls. The entry fee is well worth it. It is breathtaking: From the stunning terracotta roofs of Dubrovnik, the sparkling Adriatic Sea, and the narrow streets in the Old Town to its towering fortresses, a stroll around the walls is an unforgettable experience.
The City walls of Dubrovnik are one of the most important fortification systems in the Middle Ages and were designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Croatia by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in 1979.

The lush green Lokrum Island, located just a few hundred meters from Dubrovnik’s mainland, is a beautiful contrast to the bustle and bustle of Dubrovnik. Lokrum’s visitors can visit the ruin of the medieval Benedictine Monastery and wander through its lush green botanical gardens with its resident peacocks, rabbits, and cool off in one of the island’s swimming spots.

Two cliff bars are hidden among the walls of Dubrovnik. Both are ideal locations to enjoy a sundowner in Dubrovnik. Buza and Buza II are literally ‘hole’ or ‘hole II.

Stay overnight in the Old Town
Dubrovnik Old Town, which is a truly special place, can be enjoyed over night. It can get crowded at times. Up to 10,000 people squeeze between the walls of this ancient city on the busiest days. Many cruise passengers are also there, so it can sometimes feel overwhelming and exhausting.
We felt that the city was alive and well in the evenings when it was quiet. Old Town guests and residents were the only ones who could see the real Dubrovnik. It is a magical and incredible place.
This boutique hotel is just 5 minutes walk from the Old Town’s Pile Gate entrance. The hotel is 5-10 minutes away from all sights. Our room had the most beautiful view in Old Town.
Go Green at Trsteno Arboretum
The tranquil Trsteno Arboretum is a botanical garden located 18km north of Dubrovnik. It was once home to a Dubrovnik noble and gained fame recently due to its frequent appearances as King’s Landing Gardens in Game of Thrones Seasons 3 and 4.

Just Wander around the Old Town
Dubrovnik Old Town is one the most well-preserved medieval towns in the world. The narrow streets of cobbled streets offer a treasure trove of stunning buildings, Baroque churches, vibrant squares, and gleaming marble with burnt orange roofs.
We loved walking around the backstreets in early morning before the city woke up and in the evening when the sun was setting over the town.
