Dubrovnik Sunset Hideaway

The best sunsets don't always come with a ticket.

The Experience

One of our favorite places to end the day.

Most visitors head to restaurants, rooftop bars and crowded terraces when the sun starts to set. We'd walk here instead.

Just a short walk from Pile Gate, this rocky viewpoint offers one of the most impressive sunset views in Dubrovnik. On one side, you'll watch the sun disappear into the horizon. On the other, you'll have a panoramic view of Dubrovnik Old Town and Lovrijenac Fortress.

There's no entrance fee, no reservation and no crowds competing for the best table. Just open sky, sea and one of the best sunset spots we've found around Dubrovnik.
