The Arsenal was established very early, possibly in the 8th century and has undergone serveral rebuilds. Today it uis used for coffee houses and bars - making it a pleasant place to sit in Dubrovnik. It consisted of four parts, vaulted to give shelter to the four galleys that guarded the city. This is where the state-owned galleys were built, kept and repaired, with the aim of defending the city.

You can't help spending a lot of time in Dubrovnik's Old Harbor. Incredibly picturesque, much of the City's history is tied to the port. Despite the fact that Dubrovnik has been conquered many times over the centuries, trade has always guaranteed its survival.
Now that the behemoth cruise ships and commercial vessels have relocated to the Port of Gruž, the Old Harbor is much more peaceful, albeit still active. Smaller cruise ships anchor out in the bay and ferry the passengers in while water taxis and ferry boats shuttle back and forth to Lokrum and the other nearby islands.The real joy is just hanging out and watching the people and the boats blending seamlessly into this beautiful backdrop.
Intro Photo: I was determined to get this picture postcard photo of Dubrovnik. The shot was taken from the E65 highway above Polče. Everything seemed to cooperate this day. The sky was clear, the water of the Adriatic was an incredible blue, and the Windjammer cruise ship appeared right on que.
Photo 2: This photo was taken from the Porporela, a stone jetty extending beyond the Fort of St John. It was late in the afternoon and the long shadows made the view even more dramatic.
Photo 3: One of my favorite things is watching someone truly comfortable in their trade. This water taxi driver was driving backwards at a pretty good clip, weaving through several other boats, raising a decent wake, and was not the least bit unsure of his skill.
Photo 4: The bales of goods destined for distant shores, piled high on the stone walkways and docks have been replaced with cafe umbrellas and hungry tourist...neither of which diminish the port's lure.
Photo 5: This photo was taken from the city wall at a point near the Fort of St. John. Leave a Comment

My favourite place in Dubrovnik was the old harbour. Little fishing boats and sightseeing cruises as well as the flocks of tourists make this place am interesting place for a break. People watching is perfect here and so are the views.
We sat in an outdoor restaurant here every evening because I couldn't get enough of the atmosphere. There was a piano player playing tunes like "O sole mio" or "New York New York" and all the tourists were singing along. You should have heard the Italians ;) I felt like being on a cruise ship at times, especially when we handed in our request that he might play something local -- and he refused to do it :) Leave a Comment Directions: Walk through the gate at the end of Stradun and you're there

Built from the 14th to the 16th century, this fortress that protects the port's entrance, hosts today the Aquarium, the Ethnographic and the Maritime Museums. We had no time to visit them, which means that... we must return to Dubrovnik.! Leave a Comment

 The old port from the city
walls by Obak81
Here you will find some very cosy seafood restaurants (although crowded in the evenings), and you will have a grand view over the mountains south of Dubrovnik and the island Lokrum.
There are many stands offering boattrips to the nearby islands (Elafiti islands), however these boattrips are more expensive than boattrips arranged from outside the old city. Address: The old cityDirections: Follow the Stradun to the end and pass under the walls
