Dubrovnik’s old town, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1979, was for centuries the heart of the Republic of Ragusa, a maritime rival of Venice. Today it is also famous as King’s Landing in Game of Thrones. This guided walk combines both sides of the city.
What you see
- Pile Gate and Lovrijenac fortress (the Red Keep in the show).
- The Stradun, Onofrio’s Fountain and the Franciscan monastery.
- The Rector’s Palace and the cathedral.
- The Jesuit Stairs, setting of the famous “walk of shame”.
- Stories of the Republic, the 1667 earthquake and the 1991–92 siege.
Who it is for
First-time visitors to Dubrovnik, fans of the show and families. The route includes stairs and cobbled streets; not every section is wheelchair accessible.
What to bring
- Comfortable shoes and water.
- A hat and sunscreen: in summer the stone streets reflect a lot of heat.
Best time to go
May to September. To avoid cruise-ship crowds, choose the early-morning or late-afternoon departure. It combines well with a walk on the city walls, which you can add as an option at the official ticket rate.
