Fort Bokar
The Basics
Fort Bokar offers impressive panoramas of the city and the sea beyond; however, for the best views of the structure itself, continue on to the Fort Lovrijenac battlement. With a City Walls admission ticket, you can access both Fort Bokar and Fort Lovrijenac, plus St. John’s Fortress and the Minčeta Tower. To combine your visit with attractions such as the Dubrovnik Cable Car, book a package deal at a reduced price.
Things to Know Before You Go
The medieval Fort Bokar is a must-see for history buffs andGame of Thrones fans.
The fort isn’t wheelchair-accessible.
Be prepared to climb several flights of stairs during city walls excursions.
Don’t forget your hat and sunscreen, as the scenic viewpoints are mostly unshaded.
How to Get There
A short distance south of Pile Gate, Fort Bokar is easy to find on a walk around the city walls. Parking is limited in central Dubrovnik, so it’s most convenient to reach the Old Town by public transit or private transfer.
Trip ideas
When to Get There
Fort Bokar is open most days and closes in the evening. For the best view of the fort’s uncovered battlement, go on a clear, bright day.
Minčeta Tower
Military history enthusiasts shouldn’t miss the Minčeta Tower, the fortress that led Ragusa’s defense against land invasion. Check out the small museum, for insight into the former republic’s defensive success, then enjoy the sweeping vistas from the city’s highest lookout.
