What to visit
Walking the city walls gives the clearest sense of the old town's layout and the Adriatic beyond it, though it gets crowded and hot by midday in summer. The cable car up Mount Srđ offers a similar view without the walking.

Selected pickup city: Dubrovnik
Destination guide
Dubrovnik's walled old town is entirely pedestrian and famously photogenic, which means a rental car here is for the surrounding coast and islands, not the city center itself. The Pelješac peninsula's wine region and the Elaphiti Islands make natural day trips once you're outside the old walls.
Route ideas by car
The Pelješac peninsula, roughly an hour north, is known for its vineyards and the smaller town of Ston with its historic walls. Montenegro's Bay of Kotor is a feasible, if longer, day trip across the border.
Local rental tips
Never plan to drive into or park within Dubrovnik's old town — designated lots sit outside the walls, and cruise-ship days can make even those crowded by mid-morning.
