What to expect

The Dubrovnik City Walls are a series of defensive stone walls surrounding the city of Dubrovnik in southern Croatia. The walls run an uninterrupted course of approximately 1,940 meters in length, encircling most of the old city, and reach a maximum height of about 25 meters. The walls were constructed mainly during the 13th-17th centuries and have been preserved to the present day. Visitors can walk along the walls and enjoy stunning views of the city and the sea. The walls have a rich history, having been reinforced by three circular and 14 quadrangular towers, five bastions, and two angular fortifications. Today, the Walls of Dubrovnik are one of the most popular tourist attractions in Croatia, offering a unique and unforgettable experience for visitors of all ages

Highlights: The massive walls were impressive, and the kids were fascinated by the idea of a city built for defense. We explored the area between the city walls ✨
