20 Things to do in Dubrovnik, Italy Travel Guide Video Transcript: (Grad Dubrovnik Hrvatska):
Is there a more visually stunning city than Dubrovnik? Nicknamed the Pearl of the Adriatic, this destination is sure to capture your gaze. Between it’s white limestone buildings, bright terracotta rooftops and cobalt blue waters that sparkle under the sunlight you'll be dazzled during your visit. This was the final stop of our travels in Croatia, and what a way to finish of our trip.
We walked up, down, and around the Old Town clocking thousands of steps each day, and in this video we’re going to take you on a tour of of the city and show you 15 things to do in Dubrovnik.
We entered the Old Town through Ploće Gate, which is in the east end of the city strolling along the Old Port. We explored the Old Town on foot visiting Dubrovnik Cathedral, which at one point was even funded by England’s King Richard the Lionheart, after he was saved from a shipwreck on the nearby island of Lokrum.
We wandered over to Gundulić Square where a few vendors had set up for the day to sniff out a few treats. We stopped at Big Onofrio Fountain, which was built in 1438 as part of a water system that supplied water from a spring 12km away.
Then, another attraction unexpectedly caught our attention: The Old Pharmacy at the Franciscan Monastery.
Founded in the year 1317, this in-house pharmacy was set up by Franciscan friars and would go on to service the town as well as people living beyond the walls. There’s still a pharmacy within the monastery today.
We tried to visit the Rector’s Palace, which was built in the late 15th century for the elected rector who governed Dubrovnik, but it was under renovation.
A sightseeing boat tour called the “Panorama Excursion” departed from the Old Port and went out around Lokrum Island.
We decided to eat at Mea Culpa, and ordered one Dalmatian Pizza and one Seafood Pizza.
It was time for the main attraction: walking around Dubrovnik’s Old City walls. Admission is 150 kuna for a 2 kilometres walk that takes about 1 hour to complete.
The first set of walls were built in the 9th century, and then in the 14th century these were strengthened with forts along the circumference. This attraction is worth the price tag. From here you can admire the all of the old town, gaze at the shimmering waters of the Adriatic, and look out to the neighbouring Lokrum.
After that quick ice cream break, we walked over to Fort Lovrijenac, also known as St. Lawrence Fortress.
Perched on a cliff 37 meters above the sea, this fortress dominates sea and land entrances from the western side of the city.
We made a stop at Buza Bar, which is great place for drinks anytime of day, but especially so around sunset. Gradac Park, was also used as one of the Game of Thrones filming locations, so you may recognize it from the Purple Wedding.
That’s a wrap for Dubrovnik and the rest of our time in Croatia! We hope this video gave you ideas of some of the things you can do in Dubrovnik on your own visit.
This is part of our Travel in Croatia video series showcasing Croatian food, Croatian culture and Croatian cuisine.

Literally loving going through your videos getting myself so pumped up for it 😍
Woah, that sounds amazing! Congrats and enjoy your trip!
Congratulations!
If I could advice you one more place to visit is Poland! Zakopane, Krakow… if you’re in Europe you shouldn’t miss out those places. You wont regret
@@karolinanowak6133 did krakow too :-) beautiful place. Took in the concentration camp while there which was very poignant and also the caves
CROATIA IS SO BEAUTIFUL. I HOPE THE PEOPLE IS FRENDLY TO THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO . YOU ARE SO SWEET BOTH OF YOU !
Thank you! We had mostly positive encounters with locals.
Croatia has been on my bucket list forever. I want to sail those small islands and walk on the beautiful hidden beaches. Thanks for giving me a sneak peek of what I will get to savor and see.
Thank you! Ah, it is just wonderful there. I hope you can visit soon.
All nations have dark moments......

I was there in 1988 I remember looking over the sea wall and it was breath taking. BEAUTIFUL !
That is so cool to hear Melanie!
After watching this video I now do not know which city is more beautiful: Split or Dubrovnik! They are both true jewels of beauty! The dried fruit seemed to be very good! I loved the black cat, so clever, didn't fall into the water!
Thanks! They both need to be visited and they're so close to each other. Less than a 1/2 day away by bus. Hahaha...we got worried for that last jump. Smart cat!
Split, any time every time. No doubt about it.
This place is Amazing
I was there during the world cup, the day Croatia beat Argentina 3x0
It was *Awesome*
That is so cool to hear. I was sure rooting for them again France. It would have been amazing if they won it all.
Croatia rocks
It does!
Never considered Visiting Croatia till now..... just relaxing now watching ur vid with a cold one after a Long hectic work week ... great job
Thank you! We would highly recommend it. Ah, you deserve it and hope you have a great weekend.
Wow! Croatia is 😍
Thanks! It is pretty stunning we must say.
Love the cat jumping over the boats :D
Thanks! That is something we won't soon forget. We were worried about that last jump though. Brave kitty.
Outstanding in so many ways. I am flying from Australia for a European holiday in April and May of next year, hugely looking forward to seeing Dubrovnik. Thank you for all the tips, they've been noted.
One tip I learned while staying in Old Town, make sure to have proper footwear and walk carefully when it rains. Almost everything in Old Town is marble and it gets really slippery when it rains. One of my classmates tried to wear flip flops in a rainstorm and almost broke her ankle.
Thanks for sharing that! That is a really good tip.
Yep but we have maybe 5 days of rain in 100 days of summer.
Wow Dubrovnik looks so gorgeous. Will definitely put this on my bucket list. Beautiful video Samuel & Audrey.
Thank you very much! Highly recommend it.
I absolutely loved Dubrovnik. I also bought some dried fruit and the orange was amazing. I can’t wait for my next trip. 💖
It’s nice to see you both in your earlier days. I’ve been following you two when you were in Argentina, then Portugal and more recently on your trip to Japan. We’ve also recently visited Nagano in Feb 24. Finally booked a trip to Dubrovnik and Montenegro for Sept 24 hence catching up on your videos! Useful travel tips as always. Thank you 😄
This place is breathtaking
Thanks! It is amazing to visit.
Love the video guys! For people who have enough time, a half day trip to Cavtat (about half an hour drive south) is highly recommended. My wife and I loved Dubrovnik. And we definitely agree with the walk around the walls! There is also a sunset cruise that takes you from the new harbour out around the walls and back into the old harbour after dark (captured some stunning sunset photos)
Thank you! The half day trip and sunset cruise sound awesome. I wish we had a day or two more to do day trips. We were super rushed.
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos We had three days there but we could certainly have spent another few days without any trouble. We absolutely loved Croatia 😉
I fell in love with Dubrovnik!! I was there for 10 days in July 2021. ❤
Hi! Is 10 days enough?
Hi Audrey and Sam, My wife, Sandy, and I are going to spend about month in Croatia in May/June 2019. We are driving from Venice around the Adriatic to Dubrovnik. Then ferry to Bari, Italy and up the Italian Adriatic coast back to Venice. We will be thinking about you two as we walk the steps, eat the delicious food, take our photos, and ogle the sights! Love your videos!Julian and Sandy
Thanks Julian and Sandy! That is wonderful to hear. I hope you have a fantastic trip and enjoy the slow pace of travel, especially in Croatia.
This makes me want to go to Croatia! Love this video!❤
I so enjoyed these videos, The history of old time buildings. Oh the pizzas 🍕 look so delicious 😋.
Thanks for sharing this great video.
Thank you very much! Wish we could share a slice.
Dubrovnik is my wife’s favourite city, she is from Ecuador. We live in Canada like you guys ! This is for Samuel, go Habs go ! Tomorrow Croatia plays Argentina in the World Handball Championship ! Great video I have watched it a few times over the past couple of years !
Ah, thank you very much! Should be a good match!
@@samuelandaudrey Argentina won are people watching over in Argentina ?
What a beautiful showcase of Dubrovnik!! Friendly people, great food, heck even the iced coffee is to die for there. The weather looked perfect when you guys were there.
Thank you! It sure is a lovely place. It was nice visiting in the off-season and having sun but pleasant weather.
Last year end of August beginning september we were in split the island of brac, wonderful. hopefully this year we are planning to going to Dubrovnik.
That's awesome to hear!
What a beautiful city! Thank you for sharing some history. It is so fascinating. I feel you two so much on petting the furry beasts along the way.
Thank you! It is a fascinating place to visit and we sure loved our cat encounters.
One of the best video. Loved every second of it. Amazing!
Thank you very much! It was a stunning place to visit.
Everything is just so beautiful! I can't decide what my favorite part is! The scenes of the sea. The monastery with the old pharmacy. The food. The fortress. The beautiful walkways! Just everything! And I was gushing over your photography as well. You made beautiful views look breathtaking. And, you know you'll never get fat with that much walking! You must have been so tired by the end of the two days!
Thank you very much! We just loved it there and in hindsight I wish we had another few days so we could just have one more day to relax and take it all in and a couple more to do day trips. We sure walked a lot and we also were eating more than usual...haha
Beautiful. Thank you.
A beautiful place we have been there many times and we never tire of it, if you are there visit cavtat stunning,
Thank you guys 👍👍👍
Thanks Zdenko! We loved Dubrovnik.
This seems to be a very nice place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!

Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos my pleasure as you both amazing travel presenters so credit were it's due glad it was nice weather for you both
That’s a smart cat
So many cats in Dubrovnik!
This I think is your first nerve wracking, white knuckle video. Watching that kitty contemplating and planning its jump to the next boat was over the top!
Oh, we felt so nervous as well. That was a big jump and with the boats rocking it could have been easy to miscalculate.
A very, very well done video guys! planning to visit there and found your video being super helpful :)
Thank you very much! Hope you have a great trip :)
Dubrovnik looks beautiful. I’ve only been to Split. I need to get back to Croatia.
Thank you! It would definitely be worth coming back for Dubrovnik. You also have Mostar and Kotor nearby which are great places to visit.
Plus Kotor is in Montenegro, so it's a whole other country, with Cyrillic!
Fantastic ... See you soon
Serbian concentration camp for children:
- Rakovica manastir near belgrade

Thanks!
Amazing guys, those great views remind me the Game of Thrones!
Thank you! It is incredible they shot some scenes there.
zivjeli !
Great city , nice video, thanks A lot for posting!
Thank you very much Marcela!
When I went in May the palace was also closed. It opened again the day after we left so that was a shame. Definitely have to go back there to see it, and a few of the other places which we sadly missed.
Ah, sorry to hear that. The cable car was also closed when we visited. We wanted to get that classic shot from above.
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos Aw that is a real shame. Luckily it was open when we went, it is absolutely stunning.
this video is Amazing
Thank you!
Awesome video!
city walls are for 200 kunas now, it includes the fort. ice creams are on average 14 kunas now. that's 1 year of inflation! wow!
Wow! Crazy! Maybe they jack up prices during peak season?
You can buy Dubrovnik city Card for 200 kunas and have included entry in every museum in Dubrovnik :)
It's not just inflation, it's more about the time of the year. They were there in March, off season, so prices were lower then they are in season.
Nice city !!!
Thanks Donata!
Cijeli napredni kulturni i civilizovani svijet zna da je dubrovnik najlepsi grad na jadranu i sire tom misljenju se i sam pridruzujem volim dubrovniki i dosta cesto ga posjecujem prvi put sam u dubrovniku boravio sa mojim roditeljima kada sam imao sasma tri godine u to vrijeme smo prispjeli vlakom intresantno dobro se necega sjecam iako sam imao toliko godina teuspmene meni vrijede zivota zivi vjecno prelijepi libertasu
July 3, 2020. Here right now. Game of Thrones tour. Damn city is amazing. Stair workout, maze grid tight walkways. Cats 🐈!
Wow! Amazing to hear! Are many people visiting right now?
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos no. Not according to my guide. He says it’s 5% of what normal crowds would be. He stated an entry area that normally takes 15 minutes w crowds to get through took 1 second as I walked through alone. Was on top of viewpoint ALONE.
great job kids love the ocean views as usual be safe out there
Thank you! The views were quite stunning and we had some great weather.
Adriatic sea !the ocean is in an other part or the world!
Missed a few videos while I was travelling and now back to binge watching Sam and Audrey channel 🤩
Ah, thank you! How were your travels?
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos Fantastic! Went to Singapore and of course all the cues from your Singapore trip helped. 😍
Esta visto que tenemos gostos comuns.Los gatos!😍Y tambiém viajar y la gastronomia.
Eso es genial de escuchar. Ah, esos gatos. Los extrañamos.
Yooooo now that's something insane!
Thanks Jordi! It is a great place to visit.
EXTREM...GENIAL❤
Gracias Suzana.
Stayed in Mlini right next to a restaurant called Paradiso , couldn't recommend it enough.
Thanks Joshua! Cool to hear.
We were in Dubrovink 1988
Cool to hear Sandra! What was it like back then?
I was there on April this year, my wife's first trip to Europe and it was a "Game of Thrones" experience. Like you, we stuck to pizza because the prices for all other food was crazy expensive.
Thanks! That is cool to hear. Pizza was definitely the best value.
So beautiful 👍
Thank you!
I love Kotor but now I need to walk that wall. Great video!
Please do!
I subbed because of that cat
THanks Michael!
This Video made me do plans for next year ;) Thank you very much!!
Thank you! That is super exciting to hear.
Thanks for the great videos of Dubrovnik, Split, and Zagreb. My wife wants to go here next June so these videos are perfect. Did you use buses to go between these cities?
Thank you! Sounds exciting! Yes, we used buses the whole time and it was great. You could consider the train for certain routes as well.
Great video! May I ask what are the name of those red/brown boots on Audrey?
I think I'm wearing two different boots in the video. It could be either the Thursday Boot Company (reddish/brown leather) or if they're lace up it's Merrell.
Did you mean to use slowmo just as that seagull took a dump at 0:35?
LOL, not planned at all.
HERMOSOS LOS GATOS LOS LUGARES Y LOS HELADOS Y LOS DOS SON HERMOSOS AMIGOS
¡Muchas gracias! Conocimos a tantos gatos y las vistas fueron increíbles.
Thanks for the video great info for visiting Dubrovnik..May I ask what month it was when you visited? Thanks!
He said it's March.
When you got to Dubrovnik did you have to take your luggage up all those stairs???
Fortunately we had a taxi take us most of the way but we did have to haul them up two steep sets of staircases.
Superb!
Thanks!
What was the accommodation like ? Which air b&b did ye stay in ? ☺️
We are planning to visit next month, where did you stay in Dubronvnik? Was it a rental?
Hye, can you all tell me where di you guys stay?
We loved your videos, we are going to be in Dubrovnik at the end of September (2022) we are trying to find the link for the Panorama Excursion of Lokrum Island, are you able to post the link for us?
My husband is wondering what kind of equipment you have while filming? Thanks in advance.
Thanks Lina we use a Panasonic GH5.
@@samuelandaudrey Thank you! No gimble of any sort?
We really enjoy your videos from Croatia. We are hoping there this summer and the mix of information, history and personal thoughts are great. Thank you.
Candied citrus peel. Added sugar? Yes, you cut out (or scrape off) as much of the inner white ‘lining’ of the peeling, keeping the outer peel. Cut it in strips and boil it in sugar water. You boil it until the water is reduced by more than half. Then you take the peel out and let it cool. I lay it out on waxed paper or parchment paper. Never something absorbent like paper towels (cringe). The paper towel will pull the water out and then stick to the peel. The only way to get the paper towel off the peel would be to wash the peel and start over. Silicon sheets will also work. There will be some excess sugar when it is cool and dry. No problem, just shake it off. If you keep the excess sugar contained and clean, you can even reuse it. Put the dry peel in an air tight container and it will last awhile. If it sits too long in plastic, it will pick up the taste of the plastic and taste quite stale. I use glass jars and stainless steel containers with tight lids. You can also put a few strips of fresh orange peel into a jar of sugar to impart the taste into the sugar. Great for tea but don’t know that it would taste that good in coffee. Never tried it though. I give candied peel away for gifts and will also make vanilla sugar and vanilla extract with the vanilla beans after I have scraped off the vanilla ‘caviar ‘. As an aside, the white skin (pith) of the citrus is very bitter, which is why you want to get as much off as you can. I find that a smoother lime zester will get rid of the stuck parts. And you asked for a candied citrus peel tutorial, didn’t you? I started by answering Sam’s statement that they probably added sugar and as my confirmation of that statement was the beginnings of a How-to, I decided to see it through. You can delete it if it is over the top.
Volvieron las pizzas!! Ahora sí que es un video de ustedes :P jeje
Jajaja ... gracias! La pizza en Croacia es increíble.
Xllent city
Thank yoU!
Hi there!! Based on your experience, would you rather go for 2 days in Split and 3 days in Dubrovnik, or vice versa? I'm headed there in July for my honeymoon and would love some insights
Exciting to hear Chris! I might take the extra day in Dubrovnik as there is a bit more to explore.
Any suggestions on where to stay, we are planning a week in September 2020 and some hotels are already booked.
Was there in June. Was so amazing :)
Thanks! That is so cool to hear.
Nice video. How many days is it worth to spend in Dubrovnik a 1, 2, or 3? Did you travel through Bosnia to get there? And are there any visa considerations when traveling?
Thanks! 3 nights would be ideal. No, we went from Split and it was an easy crossing. You'll have to check that with regard to whatever passport you carry.
What time of year was this filmed in ? Looks hot but no ones in summer clothes?!
it was in march
Thanks for the video, it was super informative. What time of the year did you go? Thanks.
Thank you! We visited in the fall.
nice video, looks like you had it a bit warmer than me for my video. thanks for reminding me of some of the good things about Dubrovnik
Thanks Martin! How cold was it when you visited?
@@samuelandaudrey it was in May, you could wear a t-shirt but you weren't super warm. Maybe 23 degrees
