Surrounded by 2 kilometres worth of stone walls, the old town is a treasure trove of smooth stone alleys, an eclectic range of shops and cafés, as well as various religious sites and fortresses.

Boasting resplendent views of the glittering Adriatic Sea and a canopy of orange-tiled roofs, the Dubrovnik City Walls are the best way to see the city.

This is a great alternative to the cable car, which can get terribly congested in the peak of summer.
