After reading many of the reviews, we almost skipped the walk around the walls because of stories about the heat, the steps and the heights. That would have been a terrible mistake - my wife and I are both in our 60s and have a fairly strong fear of heights. Despite those limitations, we completed the walk around the walls... More

great walk along the top of the wall. Excellent views of the city and surrounds. We did it on a rainy day so i am sure on a lovely sunny day it would be even better.

The ancient city walls of Dubrovnik were amazing. You can walk all the way around, viewing the old town from above, see new Dubrovnik as well as amazing views of the Adriatic. The walk takes between 1-2 hours depending on how many stops along the way you make to take photos or just take in the sights below. An amazing... More

The birds eye view of the city from the walls provides a wonderful perspective to the city. It is a vital city with many residents and a lot of tourists wondering around. Be careful about which section you want to walk as it will cost to go back up on the wall. Also be cautious about sun screen as you... More

We went early to walk round the walls to try and miss the crowds from the cruise ships. Even in mid May there were a lot of people on the walls but it didn't spoil our experience. The views of the town are quite magnificent. There are opportunities to stop and have drink and also a couple of spots to... More

The walk of the Old walls is stunning and not to be missed. It gives great views of the city and the sea and right into peoples well kept gardens! We did it in May and there were grape vines growing over pergolas to shelter under from the sun and rain. You really get a feel for the history of... More

They need to be, as the 2k + is all on different levels. If I had a kuna for every stone step... What a great way to introduce yourself to the old city of Dubrovnik! Stunning panorama of the old town, Stradun, the famous red roof tiles and all other buildings of historical and religious interest. Plus great views of... More

View the city from above... a fantasic walk round! You might want to think about buying the 3 day Dubrovnik pass if your hotel is a bus ride from the old town - the pass includes the walls, 10 bus rides and a number of other smaller museums.

We spent 4 days in Dubrovnik and did the walls twice as they were amazing! The tickets are quite pricey (95 Kuna each and once you go up, you can't come down or you have to pay again) but well worth it for the views of the city and the experience of being able to completely walk around the city,...
