Walk the walls of one of Europe's most beautiful old towns.

Dubrovnik, once the independent Republic of Ragusa, is one of the best preserved medieval cities in Europe and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979.

Its old town is enclosed by massive stone walls almost 2 km long. Inside, the polished limestone street Stradun leads past the Rector's Palace, Onofrio's Fountain, churches and monasteries. Walking the walls rewards you with views over red roofs and the open sea.

Film fans will recognise many locations from Game of Thrones. Wear comfortable shoes and bring a hat and water – the old town can be very warm in summer.
