Explore the winding streets of Dubrovnik

Take a virtual tour of the city

In this video, you can enjoy a sneak peek of Dubrovnik’s highlights, including some of Game of Thrones’ most iconic backdrops. For panoramic views like these, ride the cable-car up to Mount Srđ. From the top of the mountain, you can see rows of terracotta tiles, the blue Adriatic Sea, and Lokrum Island anchored just offshore. You’ll also be able to spot Lovrijenac Fortress in the distance. Built in the 11th century, this ancient fort is fit for a king – which is probably why it doubles up as the Red Keep in Game of Thrones. You might recognise the bay below, too, which was used to film the deadly Battle of Blackwater Bay in season two. Park Gradac, meanwhile, set the scene for the dramatic events at the Purple Wedding in season four.

The Medieval Old Town is packed with Gothic buildings and Renaissance architecture. The stunning arches you can see belong to Rector’s Palace, which now houses Dubrovnik’s Cultural History Museum. But Stradun is the star of the show. As the city’s main street, this huge limestone plaza is teeming with restaurants and bars.

More Dubrovnik holidays for summer 2017

Due to overwhelming demand, we’ve introduced even more holidays to Dubrovnik for summer 2017. We’ll be flying from 12 UK airports, including London Gatwick, Manchester and Glasgow, plus we have some slick new hotels. Check out the latest addition to our Platinum collection, Kompas Dubrovnik Hotel. This place is in a quiet spot on the fringe of the city, and comes with a tree-lined promenade and sea views. But if you want to be in the heart of the action, Lero Hotel is just a 15-minute walk from the clubs and bars of the Old Town. Or you could stay right by the harbour at the elegant Hotel Lapad, another new member of our Platinum collection.
