A low roar of the minivan fades as the road climbs Srđ, and Dubrovnik folds out below like a map pressed into the sea. From the first stop on the ridge the Old Town sits framed by limestone walls and the Adriatic stretches west to the Elafiti islands; the air tastes faintly of salt and pine. The guide points out features—the quarantine, Banje Beach, Lokrum—while the city’s red roofs pull focus like a pocket of history.
