Dubrovnik Old Town
Old Town Dubrovnik
Dubrovnik Old Town is known as one of the world’s most perfectly preserved medieval cities in the world. Dubrovnik once rivaled Venice as a trading port, with its huge sturdy stone walls, built between the 11th and 17th centuries, affording protection to this former city-state. Today, these walls enclose Dubrovnik’s historic center and its cobblestone streets are pedestrian friendly. It's perfect for enjoying views of the Adriatic, Baroque churches and charming homes.

Stradun
Dubrovnik's main street is a limestone pedestrian thoroughfare, bookended by bell towers and fountains. It is especially beautiful when illuminated at night.

Rector's Palace
Mansion and museum that exemplifies Renaissance, Baroque and Gothic architecture.

Tvrđava Minčeta

Getting Around
