Walk the ancient walls of Dubrovnik

“The north part of the walls from Ploce Gate to Minceta Tower has got to be my favorite part of the walk. The walls gently slope upwards, offering more and more spectacular views of the old town of Dubrovnik — orange city roofs, tower bells, and the ocean in the distance. We just couldn’t get enough, and spent a good half hour or so just sitting under a shade along the walls and admiring the beauty in front of us.”

“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.”
