Dubrovnik's Old Town is one of the best-preserved medieval cities in the world. Encircled by massive stone walls that have stood since the 13th century, this UNESCO World Heritage Site sits on a dramatic promontory jutting into the crystal-clear waters of the Adriatic Sea.
Once a powerful maritime republic that rivaled Venice, Dubrovnik (historically known as Ragusa) has a history spanning over 1,300 years. Its limestone streets, Baroque churches, and terracotta rooftops have earned it the nickname "Pearl of the Adriatic" — and more recently, global fame as a filming location for Game of Thrones.
