Discover the Majestic Fort Lovrijenac

Getting There

• Car

  If you are traveling by car, drive towards Dubrovnik city center. Use the main road D8 which leads directly to Dubrovnik. Once you enter the city, follow signs for 'Old Town' or 'Stari Grad'. You will need to find parking near the Old Town, as there is no direct parking at Fort Lovrijenac itself. The closest parking option is the 'Parking Lot P1' located at Ilijina Glavica. From there, it’s about a 10-minute walk to the fort. Head towards the Pile Gate and then follow the path along the city walls until you reach Fort Lovrijenac, which is situated on a cliff just outside the western wall of the Old Town.

• Public Transportation

  If you prefer public transportation, take a bus to Dubrovnik. Buses frequently depart from various locations in the Dubrovnik Riviera, such as Cavtat or Mlini. Once you arrive at the Dubrovnik Bus Station, you can walk to the Old Town. The walk will take around 20 minutes. Head towards the Pile Gate, the main entrance to the Old Town. From there, follow the signs to Fort Lovrijenac, which is a short uphill walk from the Pile Gate. Ensure you check the bus schedules as the frequency may vary, and keep in mind that a ticket from Cavtat to Dubrovnik typically costs around 30 HRK.

• Walking

  If you are already in Dubrovnik, particularly near the Old Town, you can easily walk to Fort Lovrijenac. Start from the Pile Gate, which is the main entrance to the Old Town. Once you pass through the gate, follow the path to the left along the city walls. The fort is located on a high cliff overlooking the sea, and the walk will take approximately 10-15 minutes. The path can be steep, so wear comfortable shoes. There is no entry fee to walk around the fort area, but if you wish to enter the fort itself, there is a small admission fee.
