Overview

Even if you have never been on a Dubrovnik holiday, you've probably heard about the eternal and stunning beauty of the Croatian Mediterranean city that you have to put on your bucket list.

Once you take a tour of the Walls of Dubrovnik, stroll through the main street Stradun and explore the alleys that lead to the walls, you will see for yourself why this sophisticated city has been used as a filming location for “Game of Thrones“, “Star Wars: Episode VIII“ and Leonardo DiCaprio's “Robin Hood“.

Dubrovnik has been inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage List ever since its inception four decades ago; the beauty of the city, with its Renaissance, Gothic and Baroque façades, leaves everyone in awe.
