Bar in Dubrovnik
Buza Bar
Buza Bar is a cliff-side bar outside the southern city walls of Dubrovnik, accessed through a hole in the wall marked by a small sign reading “cold drinks with the most beautiful view.” Free to enter (you pay for drinks). The bar is carved into the rocks above the Adriatic, with swimming platforms below and the open sea in front. Budget travelers order one drink and get what might be the most dramatic bar setting in Europe.

Other places worth the walk, and what each one costs.
Dubrovnik Cable Car Viewpoint
The Dubrovnik Cable Car takes visitors from just outside the old town to the top of Mount Srd in under four minutes. The ticket is paid but the view from the summit is the most complete panorama of the old town, the islands, and the Adriatic coastline.
Dubrovnik City Walls
The city walls of Dubrovnik form a 2-kilometer loop around the old town, with towers, bastions, and views down to the terracotta rooftops and the Adriatic Sea. Entry is paid and one of the more expensive attractions in Croatia.
Fort Lovrijenac
Fort Lovrijenac is a freestanding fortress perched on a cliff just outside the western walls of Dubrovnik's old town. Entry is included in the city walls ticket or available separately for a small fee.
Franciscan Monastery Dubrovnik
Home to one of the oldest functioning pharmacies in Europe, dating to 1317. The Romanesque cloister is the highlight, with its double columns and garden courtyard.
Gundulic Square
A lively market square behind the cathedral where locals sell fruit, lavender, and olive oil every morning. Free to browse, the morning market atmosphere feels distinctly local compared to the polished Stradun.
