The walled 'Pearl of the Adriatic,' also famous as a Game of Thrones filming location. Stradun's marble-paved main street, the panoramic views from Mount Srd, and the secluded beaches of Lokrum Island offer varied experiences. Walking the city walls with the cobalt Adriatic shimmering below is unforgettable — the only city where you can enjoy medieval history and a Mediterranean resort at once.
