OK, you've seen Dubrovnik's main sights and followed my recommendations for one perfect day in Dubrovnik. Now what? Now you go deeper into the Dubrovnik experience.

If you have two days in Dubrovnik you can check out more sights in the Old Town, wander further afield or take a fascinating day trip.

More old town sights

Museum of the Orthodox Church
Od Puca 8


Orthodox Church, Dubrovnik
It's a tribute to the Dubrovnik spirit of tolerance that the Serbian Orthodox Church is still standing. It's not only standing, it's been renovated and houses an interesting icon collection that has been amassed from all parts of the Mediterranean. Open 9am-2pm Monday to Saturday. Admission is €2.60.

The Synagogue
Dubrovnik Synagogue
It's the oldest synagogue in Europe, dating from the 15th century. After Jews were expelled from Spain during the Inquisition, many sought refuge in Dubrovnik. The Ulica Zudioska (street of the Jews) was a Jewish ghetto with doors that closed at night.

Rupe Ethnographic Museum
Dubrovnik Ethnographic Museum
In Dubrovnik's former granary you can find out how the peasant class lived, with many exhibits devoted to rural life.

War Photo Limited
Dubrovnik War Photo Museum
This is definitely an adult experience. The manager is a renowned photojournalist who has collected first-rate photos from his colleagues around the world. They are gripping and beautifully displayed.

The Maritime Museum
Dubrovnik Maritime Museum
Dubrovnik's busy fleet was essential to its success and this museum traces Dubrovnik's nautical history. It's on the second floor of Fort St John (sv Ivan), an impressive edifice that is part of Dubrovnik's walls.

Dubrovnik Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art
Frana Supila 23
Dubrovnik Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art

Lokrum Island was a prime filming location for Game of Thrones and is just a quick half-hour boat ride from the Old Town making it an easy half-day trip. Swim, stroll the parkland, visit the monastery. It's where locals go to chill.

Mljet Island National Park

Mljet Island is a natural wonderland with a forested interior and two inland lakes in the National Park area. It's an easy day trip whether you go on your own or take a tour.

Regular boats connect Dubrovnik with the Elafiti Islands of Sipan, Kolocep and Lopud. The latter is the most visited because of its wonderful, sandy beach (above).
