At the western end of the Old Town, just behind the Cathedral, you'll find this lively square. I ate at a great restaurant here twice (see my restaurant tips). You'll also find the freshest market in town and in the center of the square, you'll see this statue of Ivan Gundulic whose epic poem Osman, inspired a sense of Croatian patriotism during the 16th and 17th centuries. It is the work of Ivan Rendic and I was especially impressed by the relief carvings at the base of the statue. Leave a Comment

It's absolutely essential to walk the old wall of the city. The views are extraordinary and change with every twist and turn. There is a small fee to take the 2 kilometer walk. It's not a hard walk but there are many stairs. Take your time. Stop at Buzza Bar along the way (which literally hangs off the cliffs on the ocean side of the wall) and enjoy a beverage and some cool music. Bring your camera. I guarantee you'll be taking lots of photos! Leave a Comment

Dubrovnik's Old Town is amazing. I took this picture from the thick and sturdy city walls that surround the ancient streets inside. The dome in the foreground is that of St. Blaise's Church and behind is the taller dome of the Cathedral of Dubrovnik. I walked around the interior and for the most part, was not blown away. It's a simple structure that is sturdy like the walls that surround it and it becomes more and more majestic when viewed from a greater distance.
The Baroque structure was originally designed in 1672 and finally completed in 1731. Though it has not been proven, it is said that the original church that stood here was destroyed in an earthquake in 1667 and was funded by Richard the Lionheart who is said to have been shipwrecked near here after the Third Crusade.

You can try another one, ending in scales. Most are lined up with small restaurants in their lower part. In Summer, the part close to the Stradun is very busy and it might even be difficult to pass when tables of hungry visitors have invaded all available space. Leave a Comment

Just by the clock tower in front of St Blaise's church is this historic column. Orlando's Column is probably the most significant symbol of Dubrovnik's independence and freedom. The hoisting of the white flag bearing the insignia of St. Blasius on the column in 1419 marked the beginning of the golden period of Ragusan (Old Dubrovnik's name) history. Its lowering in 1808, when Napoleon's army marched into the city, was the end of this golden era. In later years this column was used as a pillar of shame and today its a focal point for tour leaders.

The main street is Stradun ( Placa ) and walking towards the harbour on the left are a number of narrow streets which go up the very steep hill. It is most interesting to walk these streets, to get off the the tourist streets and find little shops and restaurants, houses and apartments where the locals live, to see children in the streets and possible purchase something from one of the shops. We found shirts and souvineers much cheaper than on the main street, we also stopped for coffee and lunch at one of the small restaurants at the top of one of these side streets.
Note in one of the photos the washing line across the street from one of the apartments. Leave a Comment Address: Dubrovnik Old City

In these alleys, you can wander at any time of the day without being too hot. As they are narrow and the houses high, the sun will not hit directly the street for very long. There are always shaded places remaining. You must wander peacefully into these alleys among bars or just people talking and resting to get the spirit of Dubrovnik. Leave a Comment

Passing Gundulić Square you come to this grand Baroque staircase , climb up to reach Bošković Square where at the top is the fine Jesuit Church - Church of St Ignatius. Unfortunately this was one of the few buildings being renovated during our stay and we couldn't see the fine Baroque portal and an imposing facade which were under wraps. Oh and in case you think the grand staicase is familiar it was modelled on the spanish steps in Rome.

The walls of Dubrovnik have stood for over seven centuries against attacks. On the placa the main pedestrian street paved with marble. Plenty of cafe's, shops, restaurants and bars. Its very busy the whole of summer and although l thought it was a good idea to go in September there were still hords of tourists around. Inside the city walls you will also find many churches from catholic to orthodox and many weddings. The old city apparently is very romantic place to wed, find tons of restaurants offering all kinds of food especailly seafood. Pile Gate is the western entrance which leads into the castle. Here at pile gate you can also find the main bus station and public toilets along with a supermarket and one or two restaurants. Leave a Comment
