Dubrovnik city walls

Dubrovnik’s most famous feature is its City Walls considered to be the world’s most spectacular! The “city walls” encircle the entire Old Town. It is highly suggested to walk the city walls in the morning, due to heat and high concentration of tourists. No visit to Dubrovnik would be complete without a walk around the spectacular city walls! From the top, the view over the old town and the Adriatic sea is absolutely spectacular. There are entrances to the walls from near the Pile Gate, the Ploče Gate, and the Maritime Museum. The Pile Gate entrance tends to be the busiest, so entering from the Ploče side has the added advantage.

Cable car

Following the tour in the old town to our next stop – the magnificent Dubrovnik “Cable Car”. This fast cable car leaves north of the City Walls and brings people up to the top of Mount Srđ in less than 15 minutes which you climb up to an altitude of 405 meters. The spectacular view of the town and sunset moments are nothing less than phenomenal. Besides the view, you can enjoy a cup of coffee or dine at the restaurant Panorama.

Ston town

After time in Dubrovnik, we continue Dubrovnik’s private tour towards Pelješac Peninsula, which is also called the “Croatian Empire of Wine”. Relaxing ride with our driver guide in the lead to our first stopover, Ston. Famous for the longest stone wall in Europe (5.5 km), salt cultivation farming, and oyster growing farms, since Roman times. Did you know that these defensive walls are known as the “European Wall of China” and are the second-longest in the entire world?
