One of the best ways to get this iconic shot of Old Town Dubrovnik is to pack a drone in your suitcase. However, if you do not happen to have one, fear not! Follow along to see where you can get comparable (if not better) shots of this magnificent view of Dubrovnik.
Venture outside of Old Town through Pile Gate and head to the left. It won't be long before you spot the majestic Fort Lovrijenac.
It's not a surprise that this impressive spot made it into Game of Thrones. On a quiet day, one can imagine Sansa Stark and Shae watching the ships go by.
Take a journey past the hobbit-like dwellings, up the grand staircase, and you'll find yourself looking at one of the most historic and breath-taking views you will experience...
Take in a breath of fresh air as you marvel at the sights from the entrance of Fort Lovrijenac (which stands 121 feet above sea level).
Fort Lovrijenac dates back to the 11th century. High ceilings and spectacular views, what more could a soldier ask for?
Another popular filming location for Game of Thrones. Do you remember what battle scenes were fought here?
The perfect place to sit and ponder about the talented architects of the Middle Ages. Incredible artists.

More views from inside the walls of Fort Lovrijenac. Plan enough time to explore, there's a lot to see!
Don't forget to explore the trails on the other side of Fort Lovrijenac. You'll come across this quiet little lagoon.
Although it seems miles away, Fort Lovrijenac is just a short walk from the city walls. So, you can make it back in time for dinner on the patio.
Unlike Texas, the prime seats are the ones outside. So, expect longer waits for patio seating (if you didn't already make reservations).
Since we're talking about beautiful views, this is the entrance to a unique, cliff-side bar called Cafe Buza (or the "hole-in-the-wall").
Cafe Buza gets crowded in the evenings; t's a great place to watch the sunset.

People watching is way more interesting in another country. You can observe the different languages, gestures, behaviors, and cultures. One thing that remains the same, though, is love. Can you spot the lovers who stopped to embrace in the street?
When the moonlight hits the limestone, Old Town takes on a whole new glow. One thing about Croatia is that it doesn't matter where you are. The views will likely take your breath away. And you better be ready to stop and savor the moment.
