Things To Do
Walking the Walls
Walking the walls is one of the (many) must do's when in Dubrovnik, especially for the first time! The entire old town is enclosed in walls that you can walk up and along the entire edge of. 360 views of the city and the Adriatic that you can walk at your own pace, as they are not guided tours. Along the way there are bottles of water or beers to purchase. You can purchase tickets before hand but we always just do so once in old town, with tickets usually around $40 Pro tip: Go around sunset as it is hot during the summer days, plus it's one of the best places to catch sunset. The walk takes anywhere from 45 mins- 2 hours depending on your pace.
Cliff Diving at Buza
Literally a "hole in the wall" bar within the walls of old town. Although it's not just a bar, at Buza there is a large open air patio that sits on the edge of a cliff where everyone comes to enjoy not just the sunset; but all of the cliff divers. One of the most well known spots to jump in the city, the bar offers both alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages for those who come to enjoy the show!
Lokrum Island
Another great to-do that requires little to no planning. Lokrum Island, - home to a botanical garden, salt lake, and Benedictine monastery dating back at least to 1023 - is an awesome afternoon trip out of Dubrovnik. Travelers and locals visit this island for its idyllic walking paths, natural swimming pools, colorful peacocks, and cliff diving. The perfect day trip, boats regularly leave from Dubrovnik's Old Town port and take just 15 minutes to get to Lokrum.
Shopping
Given the heavy Italian influence there are many little shops with beautiful leather bags, shoes, and other goods. As well as clothing, pottery, and everything else you can imagine, spending a day or an afternoon to roam around Old Town is always a treat. Lunch spots, smoothie shops, pubs, (strong) espresso, and too much gelato, you don't need an itinerary to roam around and get lost in Old Town
Club Revelin
Club Revelin is the main club in all of Old Town. There are always events, DJ's, and concerts being held but we are definitely not in Kansas anymore so things don't start to "get good" until well after midnight. If you decide to venture out and stay out all night, the good news is on your way out of the club all of the bakeries in the morning have fresh pastries to help soak up all of the fun from the night before
Late Night in Old Town
There's never a bad time to head to Old Town, but one of our favorites is late night after dinner. There's always live music with people singing and dancing outside (and drinking, of course). So whether you plan to head to Old Town (or are already staying there!) with a group, or solo, it's an awesome way to round out the night.
The Walk of Shame
All of the GOT fans probably know that a chunk of the show was filmed in Croatia, and the famous Walk of Shame was filmed on the steps smack dab in the middle of old town. No one will be throwing garbage at you, but they're still cool to check out since you'll be so close
