Fortica fortress
Hvar Town, Croatia
Climb to Fortica above Hvar Town for a view that puts the harbour, rooftops and offshore islands into perspective. The fortress gives the walk a clear destination, with defensive walls and an archaeological collection adding context to the panorama. Go when the light suits the photographs you want, rather than rushing up in the hottest part of the day. Wear comfortable shoes and check the current visitor arrangements before setting out.
