Dubrovnik’s old town beside the Adriatic Sea

AREA GUIDE · Croatia

Dubrovnik

City walls, narrow streets and the Adriatic as a backdrop. Give the old town time rather than rushing from place to place.

FIND YOUR BASE

Where should you stay?

Staying in or close to the old town puts walking tours within easy reach. Accommodation outside the walls may offer more peace and space. Check access with luggage and your tour's meeting point, especially if your base is on a hill or reached by steps.
