Make sure to begin your visit to Dubrovnik with a promenade in Stradun or Placa while getting the first impressions of one of the most beautiful cities of the Mediterranean. The astonishing city of stone is surrounded with 1,940 m long walls. A tour of the world’s second most frequented open-air museum will definitely take your breath away.
Visit the museums of Dubrovnik and find out where the rector of the glorious Dubrovnik Republic used to live, where grain was stored, which sailing ships formed parts of the powerful Dubrovnik Republic fleet travelling around the world, making Dubrovnik famous.
Taste some of the delicious Mediterranean specialities at the taverns and restaurants of the Old City and complete the treat with a cup of coffee in Stradun.
Buy some of the typical Dubrovnik souvenirs (delicacies, traditional filigree jewellery, a bronze statuette of St. Blaise, Konavle embroidery…) to remind you of the day when you began to discover Dubrovnik and inevitably fell in love with it forever, wishing to come back…
Walk the city walls, and make sure to visit the Maritime Museum in order to learn about the centuries-long seafaring tradition of the Dubrovnik Republic. Discover more about the famed seamen, and the mathematician Getaldić and the physicist Ruđer Bošković who calculated the loading capacity of the merchant ships karaka, galijun and nava. Take a ride by cable car up to the top of Srđ. The ride offers breathtaking view of the Old town of Dubrovnik, stunning coastal sights and magnificent sunsets. Take your time, and enjoy the view you will remeber for a long time!
