Dubrovnik has a population of about 41,000. The Old Town section has about 500 residents. It’s a UNESCO Heritage site, so if they want to change a window pane, they have to ask, which explains why there are only 500 residents. Massive number of rentals, beginning at $400 per night. We’re here during the off-season, so it was very quiet. Wee were told more than once “During the season, this alley would be jammed.” The city is composed of a very few avenues and lots of alleys. With stairs, many stairs.
Lots of history. The tour guide tried to condence it down to just an hour, but there was certainly a lot we missed. There are many museums, but really the entire town is one. Lunch after the tour was delicious. Noodles with beef. In the afternoon I just walked around the less traveled alleyways. I found a passage under the perimeter wall that opened up into a bar area with a gorgeous view of the outer wall and seascape. The city is full of feral cats. There was a donation box to aid the cats. I was a lot of walking, but it was at my pace, so not bad.
An unexciting tour of the modern city, interesting only in the number of hotels that are closed due to Covid. Dinner was tender beef fillet. Cut with a fork. Excellent.
