Local knowledge
The stuff you only learn after you've walked it.
01
The walls open at 08:00 in summer. The first hour you're nearly alone on the ramparts and the morning light is excellent. By 10:30, cruise tourists are queuing for 30 minutes at Pile Gate and the walk becomes shuffling. After 17:00 is the other window, ahead of sunset.
02
3-5 cruise ships can dock at Gruž on a given day, dumping 5,000-15,000 day-trippers from 09:00-15:00. The schedule is published on dubrovnikportauthority.hr. Avoid those hours in the Old Town. If two ships are in, plan a Lokrum or Mount Srđ day instead.
03
The Old Town has hotels and apartments inside the medieval walls. €€-€€€ but worth it: at 18:00 the cruise tourists leave and the marble street is yours. Hilton Imperial just outside Pile Gate is the high-end alternative. Lapad (the western suburb) is the budget base, 15-min bus ride.
04
Restaurants on the Stradun are tourist-trap pricing. For real food: Dalmatino (Old Town side street), Pantarul (Lapad), Konoba Toni for fish. Try crni rižot (squid-ink risotto), peka (under-bell slow-roasted), the local malvasija white wine.
05
Two-hour walking tours from Pile Gate visit the filming locations, €25-35, daily. The Iron Throne replica is at the Lokrum island visitor centre - included with the ferry ticket. Most filming was 2011-2018; the show ended in 2019. The Trsteno Arboretum (King's Landing gardens) is 20 km north, separate visit.
06
'Buža' means 'hole' in Croatian. There are two Buža bars - both are doors cut through the city wall on the south side, opening onto cliffs over the Adriatic. Cocktails, classic drinks, music. The west-facing one (Buža II) is the sunset spot. Find the discreet door from the back streets of the Old Town.
