Dubrovnik City Walls

The massive medieval walls surround the whole of Dubrovnik's old town, 'the pearl of the Adriatic', for nearly 2 km, with towers and forts. Walking right around the top takes 1.5 to 2 hours and gives the best views of the old town's terracotta rooftops on one side and the sea on the other.

It gets very hot in summer, and there's little shade, so go first thing in the morning or late in the afternoon, and bring water. Tickets are expensive but include Fort Lovrijenac outside the walls. The Dubrovnik Pass covers the walls, museums and local buses.
