These make for a great pit stop, especially if you\u2019re looking to cool off on a hot summer day.<\/p>\n<p>The walk will take about an hour and a half to complete, but you\u2019ll want to double that if a cruise ship in town. Actually, if a cruise ship is in town, my best advice is to wait until sunset to walk the walls. It will be cooler, less crowded, and seeing the city cloaked in the golden light of sunset is truly spectacular.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll pass by 17 towers, five bastions (whatever those are), two corner fortifications\u2026 and a partridge in a pear tree. Just kidding. But you will want to make sure to stop and check out the St. John\u2019s Fortress, as it\u2019s one of Dubrovnik\u2019s main attractions along the walls.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"\/adventures\/balkans-tours-benefits\/\"><strong>READ MORE:\u00a04 UNEXPECTED BENEFITS OF VISITING THE BALKANS ON A GROUP TOUR<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h5><strong>Mount Srd<\/strong><\/h5>\n<div id=\"attachment_25488\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-25488\" class=\"wp-image-25488 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Mount-Srd_3-e1518811168624.jpg\" alt=\"What to do in Dubrovnik Croatia Mount Srd\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-25488\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mount Srd is a low mountain just behind Dubrovnik<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Notice the giant mountain behind you?

But we\u2019ll get to that later.<\/p>\n<p>Lapad Bay has a promenade of bars, restaurants, gelato stands and coffee shops. Normally, there is a gorgeous sandy beach (sandy beaches are very rare in Croatia), but it was closed while I was there. Ah, the joys of off-season travel\u2026<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"\/adventures\/alternative-croatia\/\"><strong>READ MORE: 7 STUNNING SPOTS IN CROATIA WHERE YOU CAN AVOID THE CROWDS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Since the beach was closed, we ended up stumbling upon an amazing boardwalk that goes around the entire Lapad peninsula.

Located in Lapad, it\u2019s part of the Hotel More, but you don\u2019t have to be a guest to visit the bar. It has a quiet vibe during the day \u2013 perfect for relaxing and listening to the waves crash under you \u2013 but it definitely comes alive in the evening with music and dancing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"\/adventures\/croatias-best-kept-secret-food\/\"><strong>READ MORE: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT CROATIA&#8217;S UNDERRATED FOOD SCENE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h5><strong>Azur Restaurant <\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Azur is hidden in the backstreets of the west side of Old Town, close to the city walls.
