Check-out of your cabin and disembark in Dubrovnik (usually around 2pm). After arrival, explore on your own or join a guided city tour. Dubrovnik is the most famous town in Croatia and, for many, the highlight of their trip. The Irish writer George Bernard Shaw called Dubrovnik “heaven on earth”. Perhaps take the cable car ride up to the Srđ Mountain for spectacular views of the old town. Don’t miss 'STRADUN' in the old town – both a street and a square - and walk at least part of the 1,940m long city walls which have protected Dubrovnik during earthquakes and attacks! If you are departing later, Gruz Bus Station is around 100m away, and has a luggage storage kiosk where you can leave your bags.
