Things to do in Dubrovnik

Dubrovnik is stone on stone on sea, a walled jewel with stair-stepped lanes, polished marble streets and views that make you accidentally stop walking. The Old Town doubles as a living museum and a film set, then surprises you with beaches, cliff bars and quiet cloisters.

  • Pile Gate in Dubrovnik, Croatia, with its arched stone entrance, medieval walls and statues above the gate, framed by greenery and a bright blue sky.

    Enter through Pile Gate and follow Stradun to fountains, bell towers and side lanes that feel purpose-built for getting pleasantly lost.

  • Stone bell tower of the Franciscan Monastery in Dubrovnik, Croatia, with its dark dome and arched openings, standing tall over red-tiled rooftops against a bright blue sky.

    Step inside the Franciscan Monastery to peek at the pharmacy that’s been dispensing remedies since the 1300s.

  • Aerial view of Dubrovnik, Croatia, with medieval stone walls and towers surrounding the old town, red-roofed buildings and cliffs rising above the bright blue Adriatic Sea.

    Climb the City Walls for a loop of rooftops, forts and sea vistas that refuses to give you a bad photo angle.

  • Stone courtyard of Dubrovnik’s Rector’s Palace with arched columns, a grand staircase and a bronze bust statue beneath vaulted ceilings.

    Save time for the Gothic-Renaissance Rector’s Palace, the Cathedral treasury and a café stop that turns into people-watching pretty fast.

    Dubrovnik Highlights by Tuk-Tuk

    Trade a bus for an electric tuk-tuk (a sort of three-wheeled, motorized rickshaw) and climb to the bridge viewpoint and Srđ Hill for widescreen city shots. Get dropped at Pile Square and walk Stradun to Onofrio’s Fountain at your own pace. Shuttle back when you’re done collecting smug photos.

  • Stone-built Old Mill in Ljuta with a red-tiled roof, ivy climbing the wall and water running beneath its arches against a backdrop of green trees and mountains.

    Scenic Road Train & Wine Tasting

    Leave the walls for Konavle’s vineyards. Sip local varietals in family cellars, ride a charming mini-train between rows of vines, see the old mill in Ljuta and tuck into a hearty field lunch. Rustic, tasty and very easy to brag about later.

Experience the Dubrovnik port on your next cruise

Ships dock in Port Gruž, just 2.7 miles (under 15 minutes) from Old Town Dubrovnik. Buses and shuttles run straight to Pile Gate, so you’re minutes from the walls, museums and seaside cafés. Beaches sit just beyond the fortresses, cliff bars hide on rocky ledges and day boats fan out to islands if you want a quick escape. What we’re trying to say is that when you stop off at Dubrovnik on your Mediterranean or European cruise, you step right into a city that’s ready to blow your mind.
