Especially if you follow the following guide.

1. Stradun - Stradun is the main street of the old town and the perfect starting point for sightseeing Dubrovnik. It is the center of all events, and in the street, there are numerous shops, souvenir shops, cafes and restaurants. Once upon a time there was actually a sea here, and later it was covered with soil and that is how Dubrovnik got its present appearance.

2. Orlando Column – The legendary Orlando Column is located on Stradun, in front of the church of St. Blaise. Built in the 15th century, the Orlando Column is a symbol of freedom and Dubrovnik's independence. Orlando's Column is a figure of a warrior in armor. According to legend, it is the knight Roland who saved Dubrovnik from Saracen attacks by defeating them at Lokrum. Throughout history, Orlando's Column has also been a symbol of Dubrovnik's trade, so the people of Dubrovnik introduced the measuring unit "Dubrovnik elbow" along its 51.2 cm long right elbow.

3. City Walls - From Stradun, climb the city walls, one of the top Dubrovnik attractions. The walls are 2 kilometers long and were built to protect the city from enemies. Particularly impressive are the fortresses within the walls. The walls offer a beautiful view of the rooftops of Dubrovnik, the sea and the surrounding area.
