Overview
Take a trip to Dubrovnik City Walls on your Croatia Vacation
The Walls of Dubrovnik, or Dubrovačke gradske zidine in Croatian, form an impressive line of stone defences encircling the charming city in southern Croatia. Built over a span of 500 years, predominantly from the 12th to the 17th centuries, these walls stand as some of Europe's most extensive and well-preserved fortifications. With a span of over 6,000 ft (1,828 m), the Walls of Dubrovnik provide uninterrupted panoramic views of the coastal city.
However, a word to the wise: there's not much escape from the sun's rays, so plan your visit during cooler months or in the evenings to beat the heat and avoid the crowds. Tickets are available at any City Wall entrance, but for added convenience and value, consider getting a Dubrovnik Pass. It's your key to unlocking the wonders of these historic walls and the breathtaking views they offer. So, whether you're a history enthusiast or just seeking stunning vistas, the Walls of Dubrovnik promise an unforgettable experience.

EuroWhat do the experts say?
One of the most memorable traditions travellers should experience in Croatia is the Sinjska Alka. Held every August in the town of Sinj, near Split, it’s a centuries-old knights’ tournament where horsemen in traditional uniforms gallop at full speed trying to spear a small iron ring (“alka”) with their lances
One common misconception travellers have about Croatia is that it’s only about Dubrovnik and the Dalmatian coast. Inland regions like Zagreb, Istria, and Slavonia offer wine routes, truffle hunting, castles, and cultural festivals. Nature is also often overlooked. Beyond the famous Plitvice Lakes, there are mountains for hiking, rivers for rafting, and even thermal spas.
In early fall, the sea is still warm from the summer heat, making it perfect for swimming. Fall is also grape and truffle harvest season, which is ideal for food and wine lovers.
Imagine wine tasting in Brač, where wine is aged underwater among coral, and you can dive to select your bottle!

This was our first time using a travel agent and Melissa and her team made it easy. I also appreciated the quick communication while on our trip. I only wish that we got our official itinerary and tickets sooner as we did not receive them until a week prior. But it is busy season so I understand. Courtney McCarthyElise created a fantastic trip to South Africa. Our experience could not have been better. Thank You so Much!!Dave McVayOur trip to Japan was great. All our Goway arrangements preformed like clockwork and the guides for the tours were wonderful. Unfortunately, Mt. Fuji was in total fog but at least the lunch was very good and so was the drum solo, also our tour guide kept our spirits up ( she was the best).
