The birds eye view of the city from the walls provides a wonderful perspective to the city. It is a vital city with many residents and a lot of tourists wondering around. Be careful about which section you want to walk as it will cost to go back up on the wall. Also be cautious about sun screen as you... More

We went early to walk round the walls to try and miss the crowds from the cruise ships. Even in mid May there were a lot of people on the walls but it didn't spoil our experience. The views of the town are quite magnificent. There are opportunities to stop and have drink and also a couple of spots to... More

The walk of the Old walls is stunning and not to be missed. It gives great views of the city and the sea and right into peoples well kept gardens! We did it in May and there were grape vines growing over pergolas to shelter under from the sun and rain. You really get a feel for the history of... More

View the city from above... a fantasic walk round! You might want to think about buying the 3 day Dubrovnik pass if your hotel is a bus ride from the old town - the pass includes the walls, 10 bus rides and a number of other smaller museums.

We spent 4 days in Dubrovnik and did the walls twice as they were amazing! The tickets are quite pricey (95 Kuna each and once you go up, you can't come down or you have to pay again) but well worth it for the views of the city and the experience of being able to completely walk around the city,...

Clearly one of the top things to do in Dubrovnik. I can't be helpful in suggesting in again but I can be helpful in the timing of your visit. We got tied up and didn't get there until 18:30. They close at 19:30. I would highly recommend going at this time. The wall are HOT and PACKED during the day... More

The first steps up to the walls are very steep but the views are well worth it. It is very interesting. There are bars and shops around the walls to stop for refreshments.

We visited Dubrovnik three weeks ago during our Mediterranean cruise. Based on everybody's review and our friends’ recommendations, we were looking forward to spend a day in Dubrovnik. I think Dubrovnik is a nice medieval town, with gorgeous views in all directions, but way overpriced, locals are trying to rip off tourists in any ways they can. You can find... More

If you're travelling to Dubrovnik, the City Walls should be your priority! Absolutely breathtaking views of the city, the coast, and of the mountains behind. Really gives you a sense of the city. Took us about 2.5hrs to get round the walls, but that was with a couple of rest stops. Lots of stairs, but there were little rest points... More

We would advise the guided tour it cost about a tenner each but is well worth it as you learn a lot from the guide not just about the city but also Croatia itself.
