I Prefer Its Ancient Name - Ragusa

💙 Dubrovnik, "the closest place to heaven on Earth," "the Pearl of the Adriatic" 💎, boasts a rich history. Having endured numerous trials and tribulations, it has risen from the ashes like a phoenix, seemingly frozen in medieval time 🕰. Its orderly streets are lined with an eclectic mix of Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque architecture that somehow harmonizes perfectly. ⛰ Nestled in the steep, narrow alleys stretching toward the mountainside are countless restaurants of all kinds, waiting to be discovered. 💜 Top Recommendations: City Walls & Lovrijenac Fortress (breathtaking views, a must-visit 🥇) Franciscan Monastery and Museum (exquisite ancient architecture) Rector's Palace (learn about local history and culture 📜) Assumption Cathedral (featuring masterpieces by Titian 🎨) 💡 Practical Tips: 1️⃣ No vehicles 🚫 are allowed within the Old Town. The nearest parking lots are expensive and often full. Instead, park at Dubrovnik Public Parking Garage on Ilijina Glavica Street 🅿️, which has over 700 spaces and usually has availability even in peak season. It’s a 10-minute walk to the city gates and relatively affordable. 2️⃣ Dubrovnik offers 1-day/3-day/7-day passes covering multiple attractions and free bus rides, which are cheaper than buying individual tickets. Purchase them in advance on the official website 🎟. 3️⃣ Start your tour at Pile Gate. After entering, turn left ⬅️ to find the entrance to the city walls. Many day tours also start here. 4️⃣ Note: Wall tickets allow only one entry ☝️. You can’t exit midway and re-enter later. It’s best to walk the walls in the afternoon, moving counterclockwise from west to east for optimal lighting ☀️. Stop for a break at the cliffside cafes Buza or Buza II ☕️—you’ll fall in love with the sea breeze and sunshine. 5️⃣ If the weather is clear, catch the sunset over the Old Town from Lovrijenac Fortress 🌅. 6️⃣ Strongly recommend heading up Mount Srđ for a 360° panoramic view! Take the cable car 🚡 (address: Petra Krešimira 4. bb, 20000 Dubrovnik) or drive 🚗 (GPS for the mountain road entrance: 42.64049, 18.12895; summit viewpoint: 42.650692, 18.110316). Be aware that the road is narrow and winding, with some sections allowing only one car at a time. During peak season, the cable car is the better option. 7️⃣ Two stunning restaurants with incredible views 🍽: Restaurant 360° (on the city walls, address: Sv. Dominika bb, 20000, Dubrovnik) Panorama (near the cable car station on Mount Srđ) #Ragusa#BaroqueBites #HiddenItaly
