When to go to Dubrovnik?
White limestone walls run a complete circuit around Dubrovnik's old town, and walking the top of them is the way to understand the place: rooftops on one side, Adriatic on the other. The Stradun's polished paving runs gate to gate, past Fort Lovrijenac on its rock. Boats cross in minutes to Lokrum, all pines, peacocks and swimming coves.
