The number one tourist attraction in Dubrovnik, the City Walls, could soon offer night time tours, according to a statement from the Mayor of Dubrovnik, Andro Vlahusic.

At a press conference held today in the city council offices Vlahusic brought up the subject of evening tours of the walls. “I don’t mean opening the walls in a way of just selling tickets but rather that organised tours of some parts of the walls could be arranged,” commented the mayor.

The idea of opening the possibilities of the iconic city walls at night isn’t a new one, however it has yet to be realised mainly due to safety concerns. The 1.9 kilometre long walls include hundred of steps and the safety of visitors when walking at night has to be a concern, especially as the walls aren’t lit.

“In agreement with the Ministry of the Interior we would propose installing security and thermal cameras on sections of the walls to ensure maximum safety,” said Vlahusic. He added that Red Cross would also be willing to provide two members of their staff to be present on the walls, and empathised that these walks would be organised tours and not just open to all of the public. One thing is for certain experiencing the views from the city walls at night would be magical.
