10 Things to do Good for Couples in Dubrovnik That You Shouldn't Miss
Dubrovnik has recovered from the war damage it suffered during the 1990s, and visitors have returned to this tranquil city. Nestled between the Adriatic and the Dinaric Alps, it’s an accessible and affordable city break for many European travelers. The pedestrian-only Old Town is especially charming.

1. Gornji Ugao Tower
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 482 reviews
An excavation on the site of the 'Gornji ugao' tower, in the north-west corner of the walled city of Dubrovnik, in Croatia, uncovered evidence for a foundry established in the second half of the 15th century and largely producing armaments. It is a rare example of this type of industrial site, and its position within the city walls makes it unique. Excavation has provided information on the technical subdivision and spatial logic of the site. Activity at the foundry ceased after the Great Earthquake in 1667, which devastated the entire city, although part of the site continued in use as a foundry, on a smaller and more improvised scale.

We really enjoyed our tour of the archaeological site of the old foundry and metal works of dubrovnik.to find it we entered the old town by the back Buza gate after coming down from the cable car and turned immediately right and climbed up some steps to the base of the Minceta tower.up a flight of steps is the entrance doorway.our tour took about half an hour and our guide was enthusiastic about his subject and explained how the site had been excavated, how the finds and evidence were pieced together and how it was connected to the history of dubrovnik and it was certainly a feat of engineering and ingenuity for it's time.The site is mostly underground as it has been covered over by a baseball pitch to protect it.Definitely great if you are interested in history/archaeology. Quirky and unique and something a little bit different!

Amazing island, with plenty of things to do and discover: botanical garden, Dead Sea, olive groves, beautiful views, with many peacocks and rabbits around, old Benedictine monastery, exhibition and info on Game of Thrones as well. Very nice playground and volleyball/ soccer playgrounds. Don’t forget to bring your swimwear: you have many places to take a refreshing bath on the rocks (and showers as well). We arrived with our sailing boat and moored in the southern bay, there are boats from Dubrovnik harbor departing every now and then to reach the island!

Great walk and around city with fantastic views, be aware that when cruise boats are in it can be very busy, take plenty of water and wear sensible shoes
4. Fort Lovrijenac

Reviewed By LucyFelthouse
Entrance here is included in your ticket if you have walked the city walls. It's a little bit of a trek to get here from the main city, so be aware of that if you have mobility issues, but it's well worth it. You pass stunning scenery on the way (and stuff you'll recognise if you're a Game of Thrones fan), and the fort itself is fascinating and provides amazing views back towards the city and over the bay/sea. Definitely worth checking out.

An interesting landmark along your wall walk with wonderful views of all of Old Town. If you begin the counterclockwise wall walk from near Pile Gate, you will want to keep looking back for views of Fort Minceta as you walk away from it. Once you have almost completed your circumnavigation of the wall, Fort Minceta will be the last landmark you will come to before returning to your starting point.

It’s so easy to feel like you are walking around King’s Landing, the Main Street is beautiful both during the day and at night, early and late are the best times as it gets very very busy. Explore the side streets too, full of cute shops and cafes

Beautiful city to explore the streets and look at architecture or if you are a game of thrones fan a chance to visit the set!! The main downside is the number of tour groups which crowd the streets so get there early or later in the day to avoid the majority.

Kolocep is the smallest of the Elafiti Isles,not many visitors compared with trendy and popular Lopud,but don't miss it if you yearn for peace and quiet beauty.It is briefly visited on the 3-Island Fish Picnic,but to enjoy its charms fully you need to use the Jadrolinija ferry from Gruz(a mere 46 Kuna return).It has two sandy beaches in the bays of Donje Celo and Gornje Celo,but I far prefer the clear blue waters of the rocky and pebbly nudist beach(FKK) beyond Donje Celo.Along the track from Donje to Gornje Celo(no cars) are two so-lovely little 10th to 11th century Romanesque churches,St. Nicholas and St.Anthony,and along the way you pass through dense pinewoods and olive groves.The noise from the crickets(cicadas) is so loud as to be almost deafening at times.And so few people take this walk.Good bars and restaurants are in both Donje and Gornje Celo:Konoba Skerac in Gornje Celo is particularly good
