Overview
Dubrovnik is, simply put, breathtaking. This UNESCO World Heritage site is a fortified city that feels like a movie set (and it often is, as Kings Landing). The first thing you must do is walk the ancient City Walls, a 2-km circuit that has stunning, postcard-perfect views of the old towns terracotta roofs and the sparkling Adriatic. Back on the ground, explore the Stradun, the main, marble-paved promenade. Get lost in the narrow, stone alleyways, discover hidden baroque churches, and find a tiny bar built right into the cliffs. This is a city of pure, cinematic magic.
