THINGS TO DO
Famous Dubrovnik city walls
When in Dubrovnik, "City Walls" is where we highly recommend you to go. LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY The Walls of Dubrovnik are a series of defensive stone walls surrounding the city of Dubrovnik in southern Croatia. They have been considered to be amongst the great fortification systems of the Middle Ages, as they were never breached by a hostile army during this time period. In 1979, the Old city of Dubrovnik, joined the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites. THE DETAILS Dubrovnik’s city walls are open 8am–7.30pm during July. Admission costs 200 Kuna/per person (about $30/per person). It’s a good idea to get there early or late in the day to beat the worst of the crowds and the summer heat. There are entrances to the walls by the Pile or Ploce Gate, either way you will love it!
Stradun
Stradun is the main street of Dubrovnik, Croatia. The limestone-paved pedestrian street runs some 300 metres through the Old Town, the historic part of the city surrounded by the Walls of Dubrovnik There is something special and romantic in walking down the "Stradun" street, especially at night - you should definitely try it!
