Top 10 Sights & Landmarks in Dubrovnik, Dalmatia
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.

1. Gornji Ugao Tower
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 482 reviews
An excavation on the site of the 'Gornji ugao' tower, in the north-west corner of the walled city of Dubrovnik, in Croatia, uncovered evidence for a foundry established in the second half of the 15th century and largely producing armaments. It is a rare example of this type of industrial site, and its position within the city walls makes it unique. Excavation has provided information on the technical subdivision and spatial logic of the site. Activity at the foundry ceased after the Great Earthquake in 1667, which devastated the entire city, although part of the site continued in use as a foundry, on a smaller and more improvised scale.

We really enjoyed our tour of the archaeological site of the old foundry and metal works of dubrovnik.to find it we entered the old town by the back Buza gate after coming down from the cable car and turned immediately right and climbed up some steps to the base of the Minceta tower.up a flight of steps is the entrance doorway.our tour took about half an hour and our guide was enthusiastic about his subject and explained how the site had been excavated, how the finds and evidence were pieced together and how it was connected to the history of dubrovnik and it was certainly a feat of engineering and ingenuity for it's time.The site is mostly underground as it has been covered over by a baseball pitch to protect it.Definitely great if you are interested in history/archaeology. Quirky and unique and something a little bit different!

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.
4. Minceta Fortress

An interesting landmark along your wall walk with wonderful views of all of Old Town. If you begin the counterclockwise wall walk from near Pile Gate, you will want to keep looking back for views of Fort Minceta as you walk away from it. Once you have almost completed your circumnavigation of the wall, Fort Minceta will be the last landmark you will come to before returning to your starting point.

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

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.

Reviewed By Vilija27 - Dublin, Ireland
It's a paradise for those who are looking for a quiet place. It has 2 restaurants, 1 supermarket (well stocked) and few beaches. There is a sandy shallow beach in front of campsite. It got very busy in the afternoon when local children came there for a swim.There is another small beach behind tourist office (you have to take stairs to get to it). It has a ladder to get into water. We were there twice and we were the only people on the beach. There is also a desserted house where fisherman keep their tools. When we were there in the morning shoals of small fish was swimming from one side to bay to another. It was fun to watch. In general there are not many tourists in the village. It seems that village lives its life. You can see fisherman going to the sea, man repairing his boat, local children bathing in the sea. That's why we liked it.It's only 15 min. by taxi from the airport. We stayed in Rose rooms and taxi was included in the price of comfort double room. We got to the village from our tour from Montenegro with Amico tours. They dropped us there.

Korcula is a beautiful island in the Adriatic sea. It has an area of 279 km2 ;46.8 km long and 7.8 km wide. It lies just off the Dalmatian coast. It’s population is only about 15,522 people. Korcula is said to have been the birth place of the famous explorer Marco Polo and his home is still viewable there. ( Others say he was born in Venice) The Island has been known for several famous scholars, lawyers, bishops and has many historical buildings. Korčula is linked to the mainland by a regular ferry service that runs between Dominče, just outside Korčula Town and Orebić. It is a very quick 15 minute ferry ride from Orebic. There are numerous local ferry services including one linking Vela Luka and Lastovo.The main Croatian ferry operator Jadrolinija runs a service linking Korčula Town with Rijeka, Split, Hvar, Mljet, Dubrovnik . Korcula is a beautiful, stone walled town with the Bishop’s palace with theBishop’s artwork collection, a gorgeous old church with glass works, and the town museum has the remains of the old stonemasonry workshops. There are some cute gift shops, local liquor stores and beautiful restaurants with a few Michelin star restaurants. Once in Korcula it is very easy to walk most of the island, we had a guided tour as we wanted to know about the history of the island, and it’s place in the Ventian empire, the house of Marco Polo. It is a great way to spend a day. If you do not want to be rushed it is best to take a private tour car.

We visited here after finding out our ticket for the walls could also be used here. I believe it is about 80 of their local currency if you want to do this separately. It’s a lovely walk up, if a little steep but a great view on a lovely day. Only takes 20 mins or so to get up and down so would highly recommend if you have a ticket for the walls as you see the Old Town from a different view.
