A charming little town. Don't hesitate to walk around the city walls for a beautiful view of the old town (if I remember correctly, it was 25€). There's also another spot for a nice view via a cable car (which you have to pay for), not far from the city center. One day is more than enough to visit the old town.

I was in Dubrovnik last September and loved it. It felt super safe and they have excellent public transportation and the infrastructure was amazing for such a small city. I did a couple of tours there and stayed right across from the water. There’s so much to do and the tiny city is beautiful and clean.

I only spent one day there, but I really enjoyed just walking around the city. I highly recommend the Panorama Restaurant. It is at the top of the cable car and is the best place to watch the sunset. Buza Bar is a neat place to grab a drink.

I spent three nights in Dubrovnik, so beautiful. Definitely found it more pricey than other parts of Croatia I went to, particularly food and drinks. I bought some stuff from the supermarket to have for breakfast and snacks during the day so that I could just eat out for dinner and save my money for experiences and activities. My favorite thing I did was go on a guided kayak tour. Three hours kayaking out in the bay, you head out to Lokrum Island and stop off at a cave to go swimming and snorkeling. Separately, I also walked up the track to Mt Srd, which had amazing views at the top (and is a free activity). Highly recommend both things, as well as the city walls.

Dubrovnik is just… too damn gorgeous, just breathtaking. I literally cried when I saw the old port because omg it feels like a scene out of a movie, the water is really turquoise and it looks so so pretty and the old town just had such a familiar and ancient vibe. I honestly would want to come to Croatia again in the summer … some other time hehehe. It really is so damn gorgeous and It was so therapeutic,

Loved Dubrovnik. Since the town is a UNESCO world heritage site most of the architecture has been preserved. Feels like you're walking in a medieval movie set. Absolutely amazing. Plus did a Game of Thrones tour since some of the scenes were shot there

I didn't enjoy Dubrovnik much. The city was really overrun with cruise ship tourists. I also found it really expensive. It was also so hot I never got to do the walls as it was too humid. It was beautiful though.

Dubrovnik was lovely. I got an Airbnb with a porch that overlooked the ocean, and I could see Old Town on my right. It was especially beautiful at night when Old Town had a beautiful glow. Super safe for female travelers, I saw a lot of solo women walking about at 10 pm.

Dubrovnik is definitely awesome. I loved kayaking around lokrum Island, great experience. The game of thrones tour was fab too, amazing place. Wednesdays were the busiest days as cruise ships came in. Also had day trips to Mostar and Kotar, well worth a visit to both.

I enjoyed Dubrovnik. Stayed in an Airbnb outside the walled town, but within easy walking distance along the cliff with sea in view the entire walk. Rented a car for a few days to see wine country, did tastings etc. It was late May. Islands off coast beautiful. Enjoyed Market day.
