While there are several pearls on the Adriatic coast in Croatia, the real star is Dubrovnik. Its old town, its location right on the Adriatic sea, the marbled streets, views from the city walls - all of this combines to make Dubrovnik.
We ventured to the other side of town, crossing the Stradun, the main street running right through the heart of the old town, and arrived at the Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin, where saleswomen were busy setting up a street market. We walked along the inside of the city wall, and discovered an exit somewhere, a low tunnel through the wall, which led us to an unexpected area to relax, to dive into the sea right on the other side of the city wall of Dubrovnik that looked particularly massive here. The sight of the sea and the sun were very tempting, but we managed to resist, and returned to the old town, and went to the entrance of the city wall. Once up on the wall, our view of angle of Dubrovnik changed. The wall running around the old town is around two km long, and can be walked all the way. It is probably the prime attraction of the city and the absolute must-do. We climbed the bastions on the way, enjoyed the views over the sea on the southern side, the red-tiled roofs of this stunning town, the Onofrio fountain from above, and came down again after completing the entire walk. We had seen the number of people increase on the walls, and Dubrovnik had changed a lot in the meanwhile. The streets were full of people, and after having an ice cream, we decided it was time for a break, also to escape the summer heat.
