DUBROVNIK CITY WALLS
🔱 The city walls of Dubrovnik are undoubtedly the most imposing attraction of the Dalmatian coastal city and its landmark at the same time. Moreover, it is one of the most beautiful and best-preserved city walls in Europe! 🫶🏻
🔱 This gigantic wall from the Middle Ages is on the UNESCO World Heritage List, and thus a visit to this fortress should not be missed on any trip to Dubrovnik.
🔱 The imposing city walls of Dubrovnik dates back to the 8th century. However, it owes its present appearance to further construction works that had begun in the 12th century and continued until the 17th century.
🔱 The earthquake of 1667 hardly damaged this thick stone wall. Therefore, it’s the best-preserved medieval fortification in Europe, and perhaps even one of the most famous walls in the world.
🔱 The city wall is 1.5 to 6 meters wide and at its highest points it is about 25 meters high. The whole fortification, however, is not only made up of this one wall. Numerous towers, three fortresses, bastions, several ditches, watchtowers and two drawbridges also belong to this gigantic complex.
🔱 At the top of the Dubrovnik Walls, there is a panoramic path that leads around the entire old town and offers unbelievable panoramic views. 🌅
🕟 For the whole tour of the Dubrovnik Walls, you should plan 1–2 hours, depending on breaks and photo stops. 📸
✅️ We are going on a Dubrovnik group tour on Tuesdays and Sundays. Price per person is 75€. You will have 3 hours of free time (13:00-16:00) in the city and you can use part of that time to visit the walls. They are worth it! 🤩
