The ancient city walls were very interesting. Not only did you get to see the Adriatic on one side, but you got to look into the backyards and down the alleys of the Old City below.

Try to go early - it can get very hot and crowded on the walls and allow plenty of time. More

fantastic views all around. I would advise less fit people to take it easy at first because the first steps encountered are steep but well worth the climb. More
