10 Things to do in Dubrovnik That You Shouldn't Miss

October 28, 2021 Franklyn Hardiman

Dubrovnik has recovered from the war damage it suffered during the 1990s, and visitors have returned to this tranquil city. Nestled between the Adriatic and the Dinaric Alps, it’s an accessible and affordable city break for many European travelers. The pedestrian-only Old Town is especially charming.

Lokrum Island

Reviewed By Likestotravel_italy

Amazing island, with plenty of things to do and discover: botanical garden, Dead Sea, olive groves, beautiful views, with many peacocks and rabbits around, old Benedictine monastery, exhibition and info on Game of Thrones as well. Very nice playground and volleyball/ soccer playgrounds. Don’t forget to bring your swimwear: you have many places to take a refreshing bath on the rocks (and showers as well). We arrived with our sailing boat and moored in the southern bay, there are boats from Dubrovnik harbor departing every now and then to reach the island!

Great walk and around city with fantastic views, be aware that when cruise boats are in it can be very busy, take plenty of water and wear sensible shoes

Fort Lovrijenac

Reviewed By LucyFelthouse

Entrance here is included in your ticket if you have walked the city walls. It's a little bit of a trek to get here from the main city, so be aware of that if you have mobility issues, but it's well worth it. You pass stunning scenery on the way (and stuff you'll recognise if you're a Game of Thrones fan), and the fort itself is fascinating and provides amazing views back towards the city and over the bay/sea. Definitely worth checking out.

It’s so easy to feel like you are walking around King’s Landing, the Main Street is beautiful both during the day and at night, early and late are the best times as it gets very very busy. Explore the side streets too, full of cute shops and cafes

Old Town

Beautiful city to explore the streets and look at architecture or if you are a game of thrones fan a chance to visit the set!! The main downside is the number of tour groups which crowd the streets so get there early or later in the day to avoid the majority.

Dubrovnik Cable Car

Visit us and be amazed with the breathtaking views of the Old City of Dubrovnik, the crystal clear Adriatic Sea, and the numerous islands. Enjoy all the comforts of our facilities.

Reviewed By MadanGopalM - Bengaluru, India

I took two-way ticket to enjoy the most beautiful and scintillating views of Dubrovnik Old Town and it's enchanting coastline. This brand new Cable car provide good facilities at the top including a cafe, souvenirs shop. There is also Panorama Restaurant to relax. The ramparts of erstwhile Fort Imperial, an unusual Museum of Homelands War should not be missed. It's advisable to reach at as early as possible in the morning to avoid waiting in the queue, also to spend time leisurely enjoying fresh breeze, stunning views of Old Town, expansive coastline and distant mountains.

Mount Srd

Reviewed By Johimz - Helsinki, Finland

It took 45min to walk up from Pile gate to the top of the Mount Srd..prepare yourself good walking shoes, comfortable long pants and sweater (there are some spiky plants or branches) You can follow the map first but just use your instincts you can get up faster by climbing up!! Getting down was bit easier! So if you're in good condition, you save money and you don't have to use the cable car!
