The southern city of Dubrovnik in Croatia is the most visited city in the country, and with good reason. As one of the last remaining walled towns in the world, a walk through town is a walk through time and along with the views and weather, Dubrovnik is truly an amazing travel destination.

The city has always been a popular destination for the sights of ancient history and medieval architecture, but even more so as it now features in the global hit series Game of Thrones. In addition to GOT, other well-known series were also filmed in Dubrovnik: Emerald City, James Bond, Star Wars The Last Jedi and Robin Hood.

Generally speaking, Dubrovnik can be visited year-round, but the warmer months in Croatia are around April/May through to October. These months offer warm temperatures, days of full sunshine and a vast choice of local tours, private excursions, boat tours, yacht or charter tours, daily sailing and Croatia cruises to choose from.

The old city walls of Dubrovnik are one of its best-known features, now more than ever thanks to being featured in the hit TV series, Game of Thrones.

Dubrovnik is one of the best-preserved medieval, walled cities in the world. Inside the city are delightful narrow streets, churches, synagogues, palace and squares. However, the best way to appreciate Dubrovnik is atop its walls. The citizens relied on its high city walls for defense by land and by sea. Walking the full 2km circuit you not only get a chance to view the city from all angles, but also the beautiful Adriatic Sea, the islands that run along the shore, and the neighboring towns.

This tour will take approximately two hours to walk the entire loop around the city. Highlights include climbing the Minčeta Tower and views over the Old Town. The views are really spectacular the entire way so be prepared to take tons of photos!

After you tour on medieval walls, it’s time to wander the streets of Old Town. Immerse and lose yourself in the beautiful architecture of the area and wander the cobbled streets and steps (of which there are many). The area is full of small side streets with various cafes, restaurants and bars to sample the local food and wine.

One of the main tourist attractions of Dubrovnik is the Stradun (the main street in the Old Town) entirely made of white marble and with beautiful late-Renaissance houses on each side of the street. The best way to enjoy Stradun is to take a walk up and down the street. Once you get tired a bit, sit in front of one of the cafes, get your drink and enjoy watching the passing crowd.

Another fun thing to do when visiting Dubrovnik is to head to the hills–via cable car. The Dubrovnik Cable Car whisks visitors high above the Old Town, up Srđ Hill, with the views only getting better and better as you climb. The journey lasts less than 10 minutes, and once deposited at the top, you’re free to explore the area. On clear days, you can even see Italy far out on the horizon.

We also recommend dining at the Panorama restaurant. The restaurant has a magnificent and breathtaking view of the entire City and the surrounding sea and islands. Taste famous Mediterranean cuisine and an exquisite wine list, hand-picked for you to savor the moment.

Dubbed “Dubrovnik’s Gibraltar” for its location on a rocky promontory just outside the city’s western wall, Fort Lovrijenac–also known as St. Lawrence Fortress–has long been one of Croatia’s most important fortresses. The fort is also used as a venue and backdrop for Dubrovnik’s famous Summer Festival and its many theatrical and musical performances. This was also a Game of Thrones filming site.
