The city is incredible. I was blessed with great weather. Most importantly, the day I walked the city wall and went to the Fortress, both were practically empty. It was so great to have no other tourists. I am not exaggerating - for 50% of the wall, it was just me and one other person. We kept passing one another. At the Fortress, I was the only tourist there. Magnificent solitude. I hiked Mt. Srd. I stayed outside the Old City. My air b and b host was fantastic. I had a private patio, with a view of the port. I was near the Buza Gate. I went to the Modern Art Museum. In talking with a staff person, she was very nice, I was invited to a special exhibit opening. It was a kindness I won't forget. I took a boat ride around Lokrum Island - 15e for 50 mins. It was a family business. I walked miles and miles. Also had the BEST hamburger in my life. I had a wonderful experience. I would recommend off season travel to Dubrovnik anytime. I bought the Dubrovnik Pass. I recommend doing so.
One important consideration - stairs EVERYWHERE. If you have any mobility issues, please do your research. I have never been anywhere like it. Stairs - everywhere.
All in all - an amazing trip.
