Franciscan monastery and museum
Just inside Pile Gate: a peaceful cloister and one of Europe's oldest working pharmacies, with a small museum of the monastery's treasures.
Sights
Fort Lovrijenac
A fortress on a sea cliff just west of Pile Gate, with views back to the walls. Entry has often been combined with the city walls ticket; check at the ticket office.
Sights
City walls
A full circuit of the medieval walls, about 2 km with plenty of steps, gives the best views over the terracotta roofs and the sea. Open every day; go early to avoid heat and crowds.
Sights
Rector's Palace (Cultural History Museum)
The Gothic-Renaissance seat of the old Ragusan Republic, now a museum of its rooms, portraits and everyday objects. Open daily April to October; closed Mondays from November to March.
Sights
Dubrovnik Cathedral
A Baroque cathedral near the old harbour with a treasury of reliquaries. Services take priority, so visiting times vary.
Sights
Cable car to Mount Srđ
A few minutes' ride from just above the old town to the top of Srđ for the classic view down over the walls and islands. Runs April to November and stops in strong wind or storms; the last car leaves 30 minutes before closing.
