Dubrovnik is known for its medieval Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and its historic city walls. It suits travellers who want to explore culture and history on foot and take breaks by the sea.
Walk along the Stradun and through the Old Town lanes, visit the city walls and Fort Lovrijenac, or swim at a spot below the walls. For a day by the sea, head to the islands of Lopud, Lokrum or Šipan; on Lopud, a beach taxi can take you to Šunj sandy beach.
Pleasant from May to July and from September to October
