I think Dubrovnik coupled with some more of Croatia can make for a very nice Family travel.
Between my last trip to Dubrovnik almost a decade ago and then a family trip earlier this year. A lot has happened. The prices have shot up unreasonably. So much for enjoying GOT. While it is not longer an affordable backpacker destination.
There are better options in Croatia for that. But for shorter holidays like the ones you go with family. It might still be doable. As you still get to enjoy all that Dubrovnik offers. Dubrovnik is one of the most popular walled cities in the world. Personally i rate it high on my list of mediaeval destinations.
I like that Dubrovnik seems spotlessly clean, not only in the old town. But also in the modern parts. I also like the fact the way the new houses integrate perfectly into the landscape - there are no horrible, concrete blocks and heavy architecture known in post-communist states.
The size of Dubrovnik also works to its advantage. It's just perfect, small enough if you want to see its beautiful old town in one day by just walking around. And big enough if you want more and like to be active. You can hike the Sdr hill - we took the cable car one way up and then walked down, this way we could admire the absolutely amazing, bird's eye view over the old town as well as many islands surrounded by the crystal clear, azure Adriatic sea.
The sun, the weather and the beaches! Dubrovnik has an amazing, Mediterranean climate which guarantees a lot of sunny days throughout the year. The crystal clear waters and the beaches are also beautiful - especially contrasting with the view of the spectacular walls of the old town.

Gliding up the mountainside in the iconic cable car, I was filled with anticipation. 🚠 Ascending, the ancient walls and terracotta roofs transformed into a breathtaking panorama. 🏰
Stepping out, I was utterly captivated by the 360-degree views stretching before me. 🌇 The shimmering Adriatic met the charming old town, a postcard-perfect scene that left me awestruck. 🤩
Exploring the hilltop, I gazed out at the dramatic cliffs and historic fortifications, immersed in Dubrovnik's timeless beauty. ✨
Descending, I felt profound gratitude for this unique vantage point, cementing Dubrovnik's status as a captivating destination. 🌍 #DubrovnikCableCar #CroatiaTravelGuide #ViewsFromAbove

The Placa (Stradun) is the city's vibrant main thoroughfare, lined with baroque buildings and bustling cafes. Key attractions include the Rector's Palace, a Gothic-Renaissance structure that now houses a history museum, and the formidable Lovrijenac Fortress which stands guard over the western sea approach to the city.

【Travel Tips】
Day1: Panoramic view from the mountain top➕Stroll through the old town
All the panoramic photos above are taken from the mountain top. You can either drive up the mountain or take the cable car from the old town to the top. Remember to go in the morning for the best lighting, just like in my pictures. In the afternoon, the light is against you and you won't get the same feeling. Spend the afternoon slowly wandering through the ancient city, where there are also many unique shops, and enjoy a happy afternoon browsing.
Day2: Walk along the city walls
Buy a ticket, climb the city walls, and you can see the entire old town. The ticket allows you to visit five spots. It's recommended to first visit the museum and other places, and save the city wall walk for last to stay until sunset, as this order is better.
—
【Accommodation Tips】
If you are driving, it's better to stay a bit further away, as you can't drive into the old town, and dragging suitcases is troublesome with many steps. Parking nearby is also very expensive. If you have less luggage, staying near the old town is more convenient.
—
Overall, staying in Dubrovnik for 2-3 days is quite suitable.
Driving is more convenient, but the speed of the cars here is very fast, which can be annoying and dangerous for new drivers

Dubrovnik is one of my favourite cities in Europe and this city has a special place in my heart for real. I really liked the ocean view and that incredible blue sea colour just made me feel delightful when I first saw it. Having the cable car on the top of the mountain in Dubrovnik is really convenient and you can see the gorgeous view over there. Moreover, taking the ferry to another island in Dubrovnik such as Lokrum island.
