Its a beatiful little town with alot of history, but it gets very crowded with the cruise ships. The shops are expensive, but after you visit a few, they carry the same touristy trinkets.

What a gem of a town; spotlessly clean, big problem was the "day-Trippers" from the cruise liners every day; best time to see the town is late afternoon and evening

There are a lot of old towns that are wonderful but none with the combination of sights, seaside, restaurants and history that Dubrovnik has. Stay after the cruise ships leave to experience it best. A 4 hour shore leave just doesn't do it.

If tourist shop after another with a mix of restaurants that offer same menu as most of the restaurants, but with higher price, is your cup of tea, you might like this area. Otherwise it's advicable to take a quick walk here and proceed to other areas to wine and dine.

Everythings nice and maintained. Once you get through the Pile Gate and the area right next to it, you shouldn't feel that crowded. A lot of beautiful old buildings, marble and stone. Prices in general aren't that bad so you should be able to trod without worries of being ripped off. Didn't feel unsafe concerning my life or my belongings... More

Let's face it anyone who visits Dubrovnik is going to visit the old town at some point. Beautiful, historic, but also very crowded during the day due to the mass of tourists and cruise visitors.

There is no doubt that the Old Town is a beautiful place to visit but in retrospect it would be much nicer to visit in the off season or at night as you simply cannot move for tourists. Over-inflated prices are to be expected (as with any tourist honeypot) so you'd do well to eat or shop for souvenirs elsewhere.... More

Coming from Venice I had the feeling to be home :) everything around me remind my hometown! The old town is very clean and in a perfect condition...probably even better then Venice :( It is great to stroll around in the evening and at night enjoying the live music at the Jazz Cafe', an aperitif in one of the bar...

We visited Dubrovnik on the last leg of our cruise, and what a beautiful city, the people are very friendly, we just sat and people watched for a while and although it was very busy , it was also very relaxing, I would recommend a visit to there, some of the buildings are well worth a look. We got a... More
