Ploče

East gate · Banje · Sea views

Ploče is the eastern edge of the Old City — Ploče Gate, harbour views, and quick access toward Banje beach. Many sea-view apartments and boutique stays look over the walls from here. It feels slightly quieter than Stradun while still inside or beside the historic core.

Local highlights

  • Ploče Gate — convenient if you are coming from the port or east-side hotels.
  • Banje beach — short walk for a swim with Old Town backdrop.
  • Sea-view terraces — popular for breakfast with harbour scenes.

Is Ploče inside Dubrovnik Old Town?

How do you get to Banje beach from Ploče?

Banje is a downhill walk east of Ploče — about 10 minutes on foot; taxis and boats also serve the area in summer.
