Dubrovnik Walls

A  premier attraction is a walk round Dubrovnik’s walls enjoying ever changing views of the city and the sea from your lofty viewpoint. People usually walk in a clockwise direction. Once you have bought your ticket and gone onto the walls you cannot go in and out. You can rent an audio guide but the narration is very dull so we just enjoyed the views and map in hand picked out the buildings we recognized. In summer it is very hot so take a hat, water, sunscreen and your camera. There are several cafes on the seaward side where you can purchase refreshments. The walls are at their most crowded when the cruise ships are docked--do not go. The walls often open at 8am, a great time to go. You can access the walls at three points: just as you enter the Pile Gate, near the Dominican Monastery north of Ploce Gate and by the Maritime Museum near the Old Port.
