This is probably the only thing you must do in Dubrovnik, other than walk around the old town, of course. The views are fantastic all the way around, not just along the sea. Plan on 1-2 hours to do it all. Some tips: During the day, it can be quite crowded due to all the cruise ships unleashing all their... more

I can't believe a winebar has beaten the walls to number One. I'm sure the bar is very nice but this is an essential part of the Dubrovnik Experience. Everyone told me go first thing or last thing in the day because the walls got hot in the middle of day so I went late on Sunday afternoon when there... more

The City Walls of this Medieval City are it's most recognizable feature, famous to the entire world, being the most intact city walls, ( after being restored due to the devastation of the 1991-92 Civil War ). The walls run around the Medieval City for a grand total of aprox 1950 metres, with many forts and bastions built throughout the... more

The tour of the city walls should be the first thing you do when in Dubrovnik. It is a brilliant starting point to get to know an amazing place. It took us about an hour and a half to complete the tour and it was so worth it. You will want to stop every single step and take millions of... more

Touring the city walls in Dubrovnik should be not only a required activity for visitors but also the very first thing that you should do in the city. Walking around the walls gives you a vivid picture of what life is like inside Old Town and will also show you gorgeous views of the water, the island of Lokrum and... more

A trip to Croatia without walking the ancient walls of Dubrovnik would be incomplete. But beware fellow travellers with fear of heights! I made it 3/4 of the way around before completely losing my nerve. In the meantime, I had to work my way around other tourists completely enjoying (and mostly blocking) the 18-inch wide sections of the walkways. It... more

One visit is not enough. I plan to return again soon. We set off as soon as they opened at 8.00am on a warm August morning this year. Great light effects on the sea and the stone walls. Took a personalised guided tour, just the two of us, and well worth the 50 euro each . Learned about every twist... more

Fabulous visit to most impressive walls which are huge and offer great views of city. Fairly strenuous walking including steps, so go early or late if a very hot day. One of the best and best value ways to spend half a day in this great city. Don't miss. more
