Sightseeing
It has the most spectacular view of Dubrovnik reachable either by cable car or taxi or walking.
There is also a fort that serves as a war museum, worth visiting.
In addition it has a lovely restaurant where you can dine with gorgeous view, especially during sunset.
Please note that reservations are required as it is rather busy, also I recommend to go by cable car due to heavy traffic.

Lovrjenac is a fortress located on a cliff outside the outer walls on the west side of Dubrovnik, 37 m above sea level.
I would recommend to take a bottle of water as it takes a certain amount of stairs to reach it and it is included in the price of the City Walls of Dubrovnik.
Also Game of Thrones fans will recognise Fort Lovrjenac as the Red Keep of the King’s Landing where many scenes where filmed.
It is definitely worth a climb!

Gunduliceva Poljana ( Gundulic Square ) is the open - air market in Dubrovnik that has numerous stalls full of seasonal fruit and vegetables as well as other local products like dried lavender, lavender oil, locally produced Grappa, and other fantastic brandies.
The market is opened every morning and close in the afternoon ( 12:00 AM ), so if you would like to visit and browse around, you should get up pretty early. People offer here fresh local products grown in the fields just outside the Town (mostly Konavle region).

Trsteno Arboretum was erected by the local noble family Gucetic - Gozze in the late 15th century, who requested ship captains to bring back seeds and plants from their travels.
You can have a nice walk through shady trees towards house overlooking the sea. Lovely waterfall feature and lots of lemon/lime/orange trees and lovely plants in the garden.
Make sure you come prepared with food and drinks, as there is no local market.

Great place to go casual and to refresh yourslef with fresh juices or even to grab a snack.
It is very close to our apartment and I would recommend walking there, can be crowded with cars at night.
This little gem is closed during winter time, but as soon as it open, it became favourite place to have a drink/coffee for local people.
Since it is outside of the city center, it is very calm and relaxing place to be.
Please note that if you want to go there in the evening hours, be sure to come earlier ( nights can be crowded ).

Museum
Just a short cab drive away from the Old Town, but completely worth the journey just to visit. The admission is great value and the overall museum should take you 1-2 hours. Gives a great insight into the history of Communism in Croatia/Yugoslavia and ideology, culture and life of the people that lived there.
It is balanced, imaginative and good value. Don't miss it. It will really add something to your trip to Dubrovnik.

Dubrovnik City Bus Libertas
Getting around Dubrovnik by bus is the recommended method of transportation, especially during summer.
The fare is around 2euros if you buy from the driver upon entering the bus and it is valid for one hour.
Your city bus is 1A and it will leave you in front of the city center called Pile Gate.
Where you get out on Pile Gate is the same spot where you wait for the City Bus to come back to our area Mokosica.
Bus drive takes aprox.20min :) !
