Dubrovnik even had diplomatic relations with the English court in the Middle Ages. Its status was such that powerful and rich Venice was envious of this Croatian-Slav city.
This settlement, in fact, was on an island called Laus which was, at that time, separated from the mainland by a marsh. There was also a larger Greek settlement nearby in what was called Epidauros present-day Cavtat.
An invasion by Slavs in the 7th century destroyed Epidauros and other communities in the area, causing inhabitants to flee to Laus. Laus eventually changed to Raus which in turn became Ragusa — which is the historic name for Dubrovnik. The entry ticket includes entry to Lovrijenac fort too.

Its made by local video maker who lives in the town and takes videos on any interesting occasion.

You can fill your water bottle at the fountain near the front gate. Find out when the cruise ships dock and avoid visiting on those days to escape the crowds. Ask around or drive by the docks to see if they are in port. If they are, try to arrive very early in the morning or much later in the afternoon.
Alexandra Gloc. Dubrovnik walls When in Dubrovnik you have to walk atop the city walls. Try to go all the way around, its well worth it and you will get a great workout. Every corner you turn offers fantastic views. Jenika Kurtz. The views of the sea are incredible but what I really enjoyed was the peek into the lives of the residents of the old city. Look one way and you'll see the endless beauty of the water but look the other and you'll find life happening right around you.
It was really a privilege to look into the homes of families who call the old city home. Laundry hanging, friends enjoying glasses of wine together, kids playing outside with their toys. It was quite something to imagine how old those walls were and the history of what has taken place inside them. Kimberly Bercaw. Wall walking in Dubrovnik Perched among steep cliffs on the Adriatic Sea, the city of Dubrovnik is a living postcard.
Red tiled roofs and century's old architecture greeted me as I walked from the sleepy Croatian port to the town's main thoroughfare. The Old Town is a car-free zone, which only adds to Dubrovnik's charm. Tasteful little gift shops line the main drag, and there's an enormous drinking fountain at the end of it that serves up chilly, fresh spring water to locals and travelers alike via sixteen beautifully carved spouts.
Yearning to stretch my legs a bit after several hours sitting on a boat, I headed to the steps leading to the top of the ancient city walls. For a reasonable fee, a person can walk all or part of the city's perimeter, pretending they're a character from Game of Thrones.
