Explore the old town of Dubrovnik

“From Fort Bokar, the wall takes an upward incline to the highest point of the southern walls — where one side offers a gorgeous view of the wide blue Adriatic sea, and the other, one of Dubrovnik’s oldest neighborhoods. At certain points, the houses are so close to the walls that we could see colorful clothing hanging outside the windows!”

“The steps up the walls are pretty steep and narrow, which made my legs a little woozy from the height — but once we got to the top, we were rewarded with a lovely view of the main street of old town Dubrovnik, the Stradun.”

“I vividly remember my first encounter with the city’s Old Town, how I marveled at the thick limestone walls clinging to the rocks like barnacles, encircling a patchwork of terra-cotta and red-tiled rooftops, and below, stones polished smooth by millions of soles over hundreds of years.”
