Enjoy the famous City Walls - from there, you'll have a breathtaking view of the Old Town and Dubrovnik's surroundings, including Mount Srđ and the natural oasis, Lokrum Island, a nature reserve. From the city walls, you can also enjoy a view of Lovrjenac, a fortress rising on a 50-meter-high cliff, known for filming scenes from 'Game of Thrones.' Dubrovnik has gained immense popularity as King's Landing in recent years, making it one of the most famous fictional locations in this globally known series.
During your one-day visit to Dubrovnik, explore museums, the Rector's Palace, Sponza Palace, the Church of St. Blaise - the patron saint (Sveti Vlaho), Dubrovnik Cathedral, and monasteries.
