When passing on the western side of the ramparts, there is a splendid fortress to admire. It is known as Lovrijenac.

The Stradum is a perfect spot for strolling and shopping for souvenirs. Its monuments, such as churches and fountains, also add to its charm. For food enthusiasts, the Stradum offers a variety of cafes and restaurants to explore.
Next could be the Rector's Palace because it is one of the many sites not to be missed in this city. This building is incredible for its Gothic style sprinkled with some Renaissance touches. What is interesting to see is the Museum of Cultural History, which has many relics of Dubrovnik's political past. But that's not all. During the tour, tourists will find apartments decorated with portraits and a courtyard housing the bust of Miho Pracat, a former wealthy merchant from the island of Lopud.
Dubrovnik is also home to many beaches, enough to satisfy those who want to enjoy the sea. Bellevue Beach is undoubtedly one of the most famous because it is represented as a true haven of peace with its translucent waters. That said, it is interesting to know that boat excursions are offered for the more adventurous at heart.
