We started with a local cab driver who gave us a “panoramic tour”, including crossing this unique bridge near the main cruise ship docking area. He called this bridge their “Golden Gate” like in San Francisco. It is nine years old. You can see the Solstice docked to the right side and other newer housing around this bay NW of the historic walled city.:

Then we drove up and up through narrow twisting roads to the high point overlooking Dubrovnik and near the cable car high station. From this point, we could also see part of Bosnia and and Montenegro. The “super star” view was down below with this angle of the harbor and walled city. Beautiful!!!:

This is Dubrovnik’s Pile Gate as the grand western entrance to the walled city.:

Here is the view of the Cable Car going down from the high point over Dubrovnik with areas and islands west of the city shown. This cable car has been re-built since the early 1990’s war years.:

From the walled walk, this shows one of the domed tower going up to one of the main corner towers at the highest point for wall surrounding the town.:

This is the Stradun or main shopping street as it stretches to the clock tower. The buildings along this way all have shutter painted in the same color.:

Hi TLC Ohio - Was just reading your post here for Dubrovnik - would you remember the taxi service or driver that you used in Dubrovnik? Your pictures are fantastic - so beautiful! I will be going there September 7th 2011 on HAL Nieuw Amsterdam.

Many thanks, hope to hear back from you if you are able to remember the taxi and/or name of driver it would be much appreciated and thanks for sharing.
