Dubrovnik

Dubrovnik is a fortified Adriatic city whose historic centre is protected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Stone streets, city walls, churches and palaces create a compact but highly visited old town, framed by the sea and steep hills. The wider destination also includes beaches, residential neighbourhoods and boat connections to nearby islands. Cruise arrivals can make the old town especially busy during the day. Visit early or later, reserve wall access in peak periods and use local buses rather than expecting easy parking near the centre. Staying outside the walls often provides more space while keeping the historic core within reach.
