    Old city of Dubrovnik

    The most interesting and the most attractive part of Dubrovnik is the Old City part. It is best to sightsee on foot because it is located on a small city area. You will not only feel the special mystic atmosphere rising from the ancient stone walls but also see the most interesting sights while walking through this romantic, ancient city. Medieval monuments are creating the perfect illusion of this protected city from past times, and the whole city center is surrounded by medieval historical ramparts. Below the amazing forts that overlooks the gates there are more city entrances. One entrance is when you go throught the old town through Pile City Gate, this is the main town entrance.
