Dubrovnik

Things to do

Dubrovnik’s limestone old town is enclosed by monumental defensive walls. Views change dramatically between the narrow streets, harbour and wall-top walk.

AFTER THE SIGHTSEEING

Evening atmosphere

Stradun and Old Harbour

Stradun and the lanes off it offer the busiest classic evening setting, while the harbour suits a slower stroll. Walls and island visits are daytime activities with closing and return-boat limits.

An editorial suggestion, not a live crowd ranking. Check venue hours and event programmes for your date.
