On a Dubrovnik Walking Tours visit the Old Town of Dubrovnik, which is entirely enclosed by the Walls of Dubrovnik, which is what makes the city most famous.

The 300 m long Stradun, or Placa, is the main thoroughfare that runs through Dubrovnik's old town and is conceivably the busiest street in the city.

The Minceta Tower, is the highest point in Dubrovnik's defense system, and is one of its most notable and well-known guarding towers. The castle, also known as Tvrava Minceta locally, was given its name in honor of the Mencetic family, who owned the land on which the tower stood. And after Constantinople fell to the Ottoman Empire in 1319, it was initially constructed as a sturdy four-sided fort by a local builder named Nicifor Ranjina (1453).

The Ploce Gate and Pile Gate were the only two points of entry into the city in the Dubrovnik Republic. Austria didn't construct the third entrance, known as Buza, on the north side of the walls, until the fall of the Republic. A wooden and stone bridge that once crossed a gaping trench that was much deeper than it is now, connected these gates to the mainland. Paskoje Milicevic constructed the stone bridge with a wooden drawbridge that was raised each night for safety.

There are actually two parts to this landmark at the end of Stradun, the main street in Dubrovnik's Old Town: the tall Clock Tower, a restoration of a 15th-century structure from the early 20th century, which has a single bell that is rung every day at 1200 by two enormous bronze figures (the so-called "green men"); and the nearby Loggia of the Bell, which is also from the 15th century, but has four bells that are only supposed to ring. This attraction is worth a look while you explore the city, but avoid the crowds of visitors at noon, and visit during the early hours to explore at your own pace.

The St. Lawrence Fortress (Fort Lovrijenac), perched on a cliff top overlooking the Adriatic Sea, is a famous landmark of Dubrovnik. The 121-foot (37-meter) castle, which is said to be about 1,000 years old, was used to protect the city for many years. The fort is now more well known for its theatrical performances, coastline views, and starring part in HBO's Game of Thrones.
