Old Port of Dubrovnik
Stara gradska luka
A small harbor embraced by the city walls. Boats to Lokrum Island and Cavtat, as well as sea kayaks for trips around the walls, all depart from here.
The Old Port lies on the east side of the Old Town, protected by St. John's Fortress and the Porporela breakwater. It was once the departure point for the merchant fleet of the Republic of Ragusa. Today it is filled with fishing boats, sightseeing boats, and glass-bottom boats. You can take a ferry to Lokrum Island (about 15 minutes) or Cavtat, or join a sunset cruise or a sea kayak trip around the walls. Walking to the end of the breakwater offers a good view of the Old Town and its walls, and people often stroll here in the evening. St. John's Fortress houses a maritime museum and an aquarium.
