The city centre was completed in the 13th Century and little has changed since then. Walking through the old centre is a wonderful way to spend a few hours, surrounded by the fearsome ramparts which stand strong to this day. No holiday to Dubrovnik accommodation would be complete without having a drink in one of the pavement cafes on the Stradun promenade and seeing the land marks of the Dubrovnik skyline for yourself. The Onofrio Fountain, Franciscan Monastery and Orlando Column are probably the most popular sites to visit on a Dubrovnik city break, but there are a huge number of fascinating places and impressive sights to see, details of which can be found in the free Dubrovnik guides available in the Dubrovnik tourism office.
