Pile Gate has served as the main entrance and is still the most interesting access point to this fabulous old city. Formerly surrounded by a moat complete with a drawbridge built in 1537, the pedestrian-only Pile Gate - one of two entrances to the Lapad area - also boasts a pleasant garden in the old moat.

You can get to pretty much everywhere from here as it’s the transport hub for the old town. We took a bus to the port to catch a ferry to Hvar - just be aware we nearly missed our stop as we were told it was 15 minutes away but only took about 8!

3/5 - Okay
