How to avoid the worst of it today

Check the ship count, then pick your walls hour. The walls are non-negotiable and so is their sun — first entries beat both the cruise waves and the heat, and the Ploce start runs against the flow. Water bottle, hat, no exceptions. Where one paid circuit defines the visit, its first hour is the whole strategy — everything else in town can flex.
Spend the crush hours at sea or on Lokrum. Mid-morning to mid-afternoon on a multi-ship day belongs anywhere but the Stradun: the island's ledges, a kayak, the Elaphiti boats — the same stones look better from the water anyway.
Return for the marble evening. After the ships sail, the Stradun at dusk is the city the day never shows — lamplight on limestone, and Srd's summit above it if you time the cable car down.

Where the crowds are

The Pile gate & the Stradun: Every arrival converges here; multi-ship days run it at festival density.
The walls at midday: One-way, shadeless, slow — the queue continues on the rampart.

Quiet places in Dubrovnik

Lokrum: Pines, peacocks and swimming ledges, ten minutes out.
The upper lanes: Two staircases above the Stradun, the town goes local.
