About This Attraction
Old Town in Dubrovnik is a historical area surrounded by well-preserved medieval walls. These walls offer stunning views and are open to visitors, with Old Town opening hours typically from early morning until late afternoon, depending on the season. Within its boundaries, youll find cobblestone streets lined with historic buildings, such as the Rectors Palace and Sponza Palace, which reflect the citys rich history.
The central street, Stradun, is a popular spot for tourists to stroll and enjoy local shops and cafes. Numerous museums and churches provide insight into the cultural heritage of Dubrovnik. Public transportation makes it easy to access Old Town from other parts of the city, though walking is the best way to experience its charm and history.
