The Ultimate King's Landing Viewpoint | Dubrovnik's Breathtaking Panor

💎 Dubrovnik - Once the capital of the prosperous 500-year-old Republic of Ragusa, the real-life King's Landing from Game of Thrones, and "paradise on earth" in George Bernard Shaw's poetry. Now Croatia's most enchanting coastal city, hailed as the "Pearl of the Adriatic". ⚓️ Dating back to the 7th century, it peaked in the 15th century as the Adriatic's only rival to Venice. 🏰 The UNESCO-listed Old Town (1979) sits on a monolithic cliff, surrounded by mighty walls, fortresses, and towers. Inside: cobbled streets, squares, churches, and markets; outside: a bustling medieval port. 👁️ Best Panoramic Spot: Mount Srđ Summit 👀 360° unobstructed views of Dubrovnik's terracotta rooftops enclosed by ancient walls, jutting into the Adriatic's sparkling waters - a sight unmatched anywhere else! ⛰️ Mount Srđ (410m): The cable car station's viewing platform is NOT the best spot (blocked by cables).
