For our first evening in Dubrovnik we simply walked out of our well located apartment made one turn and we were in perhaps the prettiest square in the town. With no cars at all, plenty of cafes and small restaurants and quite a few people just walking around enjoying the ambiance, it was easy to slide into city life. On the recommendation of our hostess we tried the seafood at a simple but extremely efficient tavern and it was great. We ate their again a couple of nights later. The place was popular, turning over customers at a rapid rate and always a dozen or so queued up to get in.
You can feel history as you walk around the town, except perhaps in the middle hours of the day when the cruise ships and tourist buses are in. Apart from the mandatory walk around the city walls, we visited galleries, museums and churches in the couple of days we were there. We also walked out of the old town to a local beach for one last swim before we start heading inland.
Yes, we liked Dubrovnik. However, we both felt that the port town of Trogir was a better overall experience as it is smaller, the ships are right there in the town with you and the tourist traffic is considerably less.
