Dubrovnik is a walled Adriatic port city whose limestone-paved Old Town, encircled by intact medieval fortifications, draws crowds for both its Ragusan history and its use as a Game of Thrones filming location. Beyond the walls, pebble beaches and pine-covered peninsulas give it a slower coastal side.
