Start your tour of Dubrovnik with a visit to the promenade in Stradun for your first impression of one of the most beautiful Mediterranean cities and its stunning stone walls that extend over 1,940 meters (6,500 feet). Admire the monumental fortifications and city gates, before wandering the labyrinthine streets behind the ramparts. Almost completely pedestrianized, the medieval town is a treasure trove of architectural gems. See columned porticoes and loggias fringing Renaissance squares of marmor. Marvel at the 11th-century Town Hall, and go to Sponza Palace, notable for its elaborate stone carvings.
Take a view of the Baroque Cathedral, and see the magnificent Treasury. Continue to the fortress-like Dominican Monastery and the Baroque Church of St. Blaise . Visit the Rector's Palace of the glorious Republic of Dubrovnik, and marvel at its harmonious blend of Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque architecture. You will then have 3 hours free for lunch and some shopping.
