Surrounded by medieval walls and battlements, Old Town lies in the heart of the city and transports visitors centuries into the past with churches, palaces, museums, markets, cafés, bars and restaurants dotting the squares and streets.

Short on time? See the main street in Dubrovnik’s Old Town. Stradun or Placa, a limestone-paved pedestrian street, offers some of the best sites of the city’s Old Town. The street dates back to at least the 13th century and has seen travelers and locals walk upon the ground for hundreds of years. © Larysa Uhryn | Dreamstime.com
For a true Croatian visit, lounge at an open-air café overlooking any number of historic streets in the city. Whether you desire a specialty coffee, pastry or simple espresso, be sure to visit one of the city’s top coffee shops like Dubravka 1836 Restaurant & Café, Open Air Café, Festival Café and Cele Café. © Andriana Syvanych | Dreamstime.com
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. At the upper Cable Car station, you’ll even find a restaurant and bar. Kids will love the thrill of a ride in the sky. © Indos82 | Dreamstime.com
