Wandering Dubrovnik's city walls
It's impressive how people can weather tragedy, rebuild, and move on. In spite of the terrors of war just a couple of decades ago, life here is once again very good, and, from my perch here atop the city walls, filled with promise.
IF YOU VISIT...
SLEEPING: Hotel Stari Grad has eight extremely stylish rooms a half-block off the Old Town's main drag (splurge, www.hotelstarigrad.com). Ivana and Anita Raic rent three apartments with modern flourishes (moderate, www.apartments-raic.com).
EATING: Dalmatino offers some of the best traditional Dalmatian cooking in the city (Miha Pracata 6, tel. 020/323-070). Konoba Kamenice, a no-frills fish restaurant on a market square, is a local institution (Gunduliceva poljana 8, tel. 020/323-682).
GETTING AROUND: Dubrovnik's Old Town is easily walkable, while buses get you farther afield.
