Operational Notes

Key logistics for travel professionals

Meeting Point & Entry

Main entry points are at Pile Gate and Ploče Gate. We coordinate the optimal entry based on your clients' starting location and timing needs.

Timing & Heat

Morning (08:00–10:00) or late afternoon (after 17:00) avoids peak heat. In July–August, we strongly advise early starts. There is minimal shade on the walls.

Physical Requirements

The walk involves stairs (some steep), uneven surfaces, and sustained sun exposure. Not suitable for those with significant mobility limitations.

Timed Entry

In peak season, timed entry may apply. We coordinate slots in advance to avoid queueing and align with your clients' schedule.

Weather Contingency

Walls may close in severe weather (rain, wind). We monitor conditions and advise on alternatives if closure occurs.

Cruise Timing

For cruise clients, morning timing works best to complete before midday heat and return to port with buffer time.
