Let a local guide lead you along the pebbly beaches skirting its shores, and inland to spot sub-tropical plants and plumed peacocks in the botanical garden.There'll be a short hike up to the French-built Fort Royal for epic views over Dubrovnik before walking down to the Benedictine monastery – featured as the town of Qarth on HBO's Game of Thrones.
