Dubrovnik City Walls
The Dubrovnik city walls at 8am: the 2km circuit before the day-trip crowds arrive. The views are split between Old Town rooftops inland and the Adriatic seaward, and the Minceta Tower and Fort Bokar are climbable for better angles. For Game of Thrones viewers, the circuit maps onto the King's Landing filming locations with enough specificity to identify individual scenes. Fort Lovrijenac outside Pile Gate is the throne room exterior, included in the wall ticket. Start as early as possible; the summer heat and crowd volume on the exposed circuit are both serious by 10am.

Tips
- 08:00 opening, clockwise from Pile Gate: the only way to do this well in summer
- Fort Lovrijenac is included in the ticket — the view back over the Old Town from the fort is one of the better photographs from Dubrovnik
- Bring water: the south-facing section of the walls is fully exposed with no shade from mid-morning
