Walls of Dubrovnik - An Ancient Town With Beautiful Hidden Gems - Croatia's Streaming Destination

Walls of Dubrovnik

Without taking a stroll around the magnificent city walls that enclose the city's historic center, no trip to Dubrovnik is complete. They rank among the best in the world and are what makes the city unique. The view of the ancient town and the glistening Adriatic from the top is breathtaking. The contrast of pinkish-grey stone and azure waters from the sea is hypnotic, and the congested maze of church steeples and terracotta roofs from above looks like the backdrop for a fairy tale—or, at the very least, some Game of Thrones episodes.

Best time to visit: May-To-Jun Sep-To-Oct
Things to do: Walk The Walls, Enjoy The Views Of The Sea, Look Over The Bustling City, Scenic Photography

HOW TO REACH WALLS OF DUBROVNIK

  • Flight - The city of Dubrovnik is connected to the rest of Europe by an international airport. There are few possibilities for entering this city by road because it is walled and largely cut off from the rest of Croatia. But there is a frequent bus service that travels between Dubrovnik and its surrounding towns. You still have access to effective transportation. Once you arrive at Zagreb, Croatia's capital city, you can easily continue your journey there. You won't have any trouble finding a good flight to your destination because the airport is connected to many locations.
  • Sea - If you board a ferry from Split or any of the central Dalmatian islands, you can get to Dubrovnik. From the Italian cities of Ancona and Pescara, there are great fast and regular ferry services.
  • Rail - The primary rail line runs from Zagreb to Split, and there are trains from Split to the north of the nation and beyond. Additionally, you can bring your car on the train. The bus station and the ferry port are both close to the Split train station, which is situated in the middle of the city.
  • Road - Most of central and western european nations as well as Croatia's neighbors are connected via regular international coach lines. All of the major Croatian cities, including Zagreb, Osijek, Rijeka, Pula, Split, ibenik, Zadar, and Dubrovnik.

HOW TO GET AROUND

  • Bus - You can use the city's bus system, which is run by Libertas, when your feet need a break. Buses go from the Pile Gate of the Old City to popular neighborhoods with lots of lodging, such as Lapad and Babin Kuk, which are both outside of the Old Town and noted for their luxurious hotels. Tickets are 15 kuna ($2.25 approximately) and are good for one hour.
  • On Foot - You'll have to walk because the entire historic center is a pedestrian only area. However, the region is rather small and has many meandering streets and lanes. It will never take longer than 30 minutes to walk to Pile and Ploce, the western and eastern gates of the ancient center, from anyplace in the city.
  • Rental/Taxi - You'll likely need a car if you want to do more than just see the Old Town, and you can easily rent one at the airport. But if you do go to the city, you'll have to leave your car in a public parking lot. The Old City may be reached by foot in about ten minutes from the Ilijina Glavica parking lot, which charges 15 kuna ($2.25/hour) or 180 kuna ($27/day). Your driver's license from the US will do.
