Hotels near old town Dubrovnik

It is very hard not being bewitched by Dubrovnik Old Town with its limestone-paved streets, huge stone walls, baroque buildings, and the sparkling Adriatic sea lapping its shores.

Since it is one of the world’s best-preserved medieval cities in the world, while in Dubrovnik you should stay in the Old Town and if you are looking for the best hotels to book, check out our recommendations below.

But first, let’s take a quick virtual tour around the city.

Dubrovnik is the pearl of the Adriatic and it has been listed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List.

You can start exploring the Old Town by taking a walk along the medieval city’s stone walls. The fortifications have protected the city for over a millennium. Most people enter at Pile Gate, so if you want to avoid the crowds, you should head to Ploče Gate instead, which is the main entrance from the Eastern side. Breathtaking views will enchant you the whole way along the walls and you will also get the chance to find your way around the town. 

From Pile Gate, head down Stradun or Placa, the main street of Dubrovnik. This limestone promenade divides the Old Town in two. On the way, you can sit down at one of the many ice cream shops and watch life passing by.

Next, visit the Franciscan Monastery & Museum where you will discover a spectacular cloister built in the 14th century and one of the oldest pharmacies in the world.
