The whole Peljesac peninsula has about 2500 dwellers whereas 600 inhabitants are living only in Ston. Ston was a military fort of the Ragusan Republic whose defensive walls are among the most famous in the world: there is a 900 meters (3000 feet) long town wall and 5 km (3 miles) Great Wall outside the town. The walls extend to Mali Ston (Little or Small Ston), a smaller town on the northern side of the Peljesac isthmus and the end of the Mali Ston bay. It is noteworthy to mention that Ston walls are the second longest defensive walls in the world, second only to the Great Chinese wall.

Night life - Revelin Culture Club

A club venue since summer 2011, the angular 16th-century fortress that marks the eastern end of Dubrovnik’s Old Town has become the place to go after drinking-up time has been called in the town centre’s other bars. Luckily, Dubrovnik’s military architects had the foresight to construct what is an ideal venue for a club: the stark interior of bare stone blocks, complete with arched aisle spaces and lofty barreled roofs, provide the perfect backdrop for the state-of-the-art light-show. What Renaissance Ragusans might have made of the lithe females dancing in cages is another question entirely. With an elongated bar, large dancefloor and plenty of surrounding nooks and crannies, it’s the kind of place that can cater for large numbers of people without making them feel pushed around. A lot of leading Croatian pop and rock acts perform here throughout the year. In summer, there’ll probably be an international DJ appearing here every weekend throughout the season – 2012 saw Fat Boy Slim, Martin Solveig and sundry others lug their record boxes up Revelin’s stone steps.

Tours - Walls and Wars

Do you know that Dubrovnik was protected by both defensive fortifications and the diplomatic skills of its leaders? This historic walk will focus on the defensive and political challenges faced by Dubrovnik in its struggle to survive as a tiny (yet prosperous) independent republic facing serious threats from powerful and dangerous enemies. Over the centuries, the leaders and the walls of Dubrovnik both held firm. Your guide will lead you on top of and around the city walls for breath-taking views of the port and the old town. You’ll discover Revelin Fortress, Minceta Tower, Lovrijenac Fortress and more – and why the city walls served as essential structures protecting the people and wealth of the old town for centuries. This tour is a bit steep due to all the stairs on the city walls and therefore not suitable for everyone. It is also not suitable for pregnant women and there are no planned bathroom breaks in this 2 hour tour. Intrigued by our rivals, enemies, conflicts and wars? Then this is a perfect tour for you!

Dubrovnik’s Baroque churches, monasteries and palaces.

Attractions - Island Lokrum

Lokrum is conveniently located on a short ferry ride from Dubrovnik Old Town, so day trips to the island are very popular among locals as well as among the visitors to Dubrovnik.

Attractions - Elafiti Islands

The Elafiti islands are an archipelago situated close to – and slightly northwest of – Dubrovnik. There’s actually six islands in the archipelago, not including any small islets, although the three main ones to visit and stay on are Kolocep, Lopud and Sipan. Two of the three islands, Kolocep and Lopud, are entirely car-free, which means they’re an excellent place to base yourself on if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. (Or perhaps just the hustle and bustle of Dubrovnik for one day!)
