Revelin Fortress
A massive 16th-century fortress guarding the Ploče Gate, with an archaeological exhibit, terrace views over the Old Port, and a nightclub in its cavernous halls after dark.
The call
Worth it if you are traveling as a couple and you are traveling solo.
Why
- 01
By day a sturdy, lesser-visited fort with a good view terrace over the harbour and walls; by night its stone halls become Dubrovnik's main club.
Our read - 02
The honest catch is the daytime exhibit is thin and the real 'experience' is the nightlife, so it's two very different visits — come for the view and quiet, or come at midnight, not in between.
