Overview

Buza Gate, meaning 'hole' in local dialect, is a relatively recent addition to Dubrovnik's ancient fortifications, having been opened in 1908 during the Austro-Hungarian rule. Unlike the grand Pile Gate or Ploce Gate, Buza offers a more unassuming and intimate entry into the Old Town. Located on the northern side of the city walls, Buza Gate provides dramatic views of the Adriatic Sea. Emerging from the gate, you're immediately greeted by the sight of the rocky coastline and the vast expanse of the sea. This area is also known for its cliffside bars, where you can enjoy a drink with a view.The gate leads to the northern part of the Old Town, offering a less crowded path towards the Stradun, Dubrovnik's main street. Be prepared for a stepped descent, which adds to the unique character of this entrance. While it might not be the most accessible route for everyone, the Buza Gate provides a memorable introduction to the city's charm.
