Start at Pile Gate and follow Stradun to Luža and the Old Port; leave time to walk east through Ploče Gate to Banje Beach. Gradac Park is a separate uphill stop on the western side. Dubrovnik reopened the park after its first full restoration in September 2026, adding renewed paths and viewpoints plus an accessible toilet. The public street-level route is free, while the city walls and museum interiors are ticketed. Historic stone lanes can be crowded, and car access rules change by season and event, so check the city notice before driving into the centre.
