Anywhere you go in Dubrovnik, you’ll likely spot the thick, tall stone walls encompassing the city. These great structures date back to the 13th through 17th centuries, with several gates scattered along the walls. The city also includes sea walls pointing to Dubrovnik’s history of sea attacks from enemies like the Republic of Venice. Within the walls also lie forts and towers. © Aleksandar Sedlak | Dreamstime.com
See Old City and the distant Elaphiti Islands from unparalleled heights via cable car. A 44-minute cable car ride brings visitors 2,550 feet away to a plateau to see the city in all its glory.
