Perched on the shores of the Adriatic, Dubrovnik is one of the Mediterranean’s most remarkable destinations. Its medieval ramparts, UNESCO World Heritage-listed old town and deep blue waters set it apart from the rest. We were won over by its rich architectural heritage and the raw beauty of its Dalmatian coastline. <\/p>\n\n

In this article, we share with you 10 reasons<\/strong> to visit this extraordinary city.<\/p>\n\n

\"Why<\/figure>\n\n

This opinion is completely independent<\/strong>, based on our experiences. We made our own choices, visited the area anonymously, and paid our bills in full.<\/p>\n\n

Is Dubrovnik worth a visit?<\/h2>\n\n

Absolutely. Dubrovnik combines an unspoiled medieval heritage, an exceptional Adriatic sea and a vibrant cultural life. We were seduced by the architectural coherence of the old town, the strength of its ramparts and the gentleness of the surrounding Dalmatian coastline. This town will surprise you at every turn. <\/p>\n\n

We list the reasons in more detail below. You can also take a look at our selection of the city’s top attractions<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

Reason 1 – Its medieval ramparts<\/h2>\n\n
\"Dubrovnik<\/figure>\n\n

Walking on Dubrovnik’s ramparts is perhaps the most iconic experience the city has to offer. These medieval fortifications, whose construction dates back to the 14th century, encircle the entire old town over a length of almost 2km. From the top of the walls, you can enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the orange-tiled roofs, the Adriatic Sea and the surrounding islands. We took the loop tour, which allows you to see the old town from all angles, both from the sea and inland. We recommend an early-morning visit to avoid the crowds and take advantage of the ideal light on the rooftops. The ticket is included in the Dubrovnik Pass (\u20ac40).

Reason 2 – The UNESCO-listed Old Town, a labyrinth of Baroque limestone<\/h2>\n\n
\"Dubrovnik<\/figure>\n\n

Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979, Dubrovnik’s Old Town is a labyrinth of white limestone cobbled streets, lively squares and Baroque facades of remarkable architectural coherence. Stroll through and you’ll discover Renaissance palaces, historic fountains such as the 15th-century Grande Fontaine d’Onofrio, and a multitude of small chapels. We enjoyed getting lost in the alleys that run up the hillside, away from the hustle and bustle of the Stradun. The old town, entirely pedestrianized, reveals itself differently at every hour of the day: calm in the morning, lively during the day, atmospheric at nightfall. Access is free of charge, from the Pile Gate in the west or the Plo\u010de Gate in the east. Read our article on the Old Town<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n
