The Moorings base in Mokosica is less than four miles from the historic Old Town of Dubrovnik’s medieval walled city, where you’ll find a multitude of chic boutiques, intimate cafés, upscale restaurants, and lively nightclubs along the Stradun (main street), and its defining clock tower that rises above the picturesque baroque buildings with red-tiled roofs. The Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, strictly controls the businesses to ensure that not too much of the modern spoils the ambience of a place that really does transport you back 500, 600, even 1,200 years in this pedestrian-only center of contemporary Dubrovnik, which spreads out around the walls all the way to the splendid beaches fronting the Adriatic. The Old Town is one of the most visited sites in all of Croatia, and it’s a must-see destination when sailing in Dubrovnik waters.

The many attractions in Dubrovnik’s Old Town include the famous walls themselves. Rising above the seaport to heights of 80 feet in places, they ring the city in what must have been an impregnable defensive perimeter. You can walk along the top and look down into the maze of narrow streets and confused conglomeration of picturesque homes and shops and historic buildings clustered together in an impressively Mediterranean-style mix. Next you can move on to stroll the Stradun or venture into the back streets before touring the Franciscan Monastery, the Dominican Monastery, the Rector’s Palace, and the baroque cathedral. At night, the famous Gundulic Square teems with fashionably and casually dressed revelers from all over the world, and in the morning the same public square is used as a farmer’s market. Dubrovnik’s Old Town is an experience in itself, one of the most unique and pleasing destinations in Croatia.
All facilities for yachts are available at the marinas.
