The programme

on the bus, you'll reach Pile Gate, the picturesque access point to Dubrovnik old town: so picturesque that…yes, that's right, you've already seen it on TV.
First, you'll pass through the walls taken by storm by one of the lineages best known to fans of fantasy sagas; then, discover Fort Lovrijenac with your guide, an icon of Dubrovnik.
Does it look familiar? From the sea it's the Fort where an ambitious queen reigns from a somewhat disputed 'throne'. Look down and you might also recognize the bay of Pile, with its stairs and towers carved into the rock: it's even more beautiful in person.
Then, set off towards the Trsteno Arboretum, with hundreds of exotic plants and colorful flowers: you're taking a photo of nothing less than...well, you tell us!
The only thing missing are the dragons circling in the sky, but you are not only at the heart of a film set: you've also seen some of the history with a capital H of Dubrovnik over the centuries.
