Your guide delves into their history: once, a single wall enclosed the Old Town after the 11th-century earth cover-up of the sea channel. Restored to its original look over time, you'll explore Fort Revelin and Minceta Tower within the walls, understanding their strategic importance. Spot Fort Lovrijenac, separate yet part of the walls, visitable post-tour. Learn of Dubrovnik's past defenses, political struggles, and diplomatic feats, ensuring its independence as a republic. Tour concludes near the port. *City Walls entrance fee not included.

  5. Old Town

    45 min

    On this part of the tour we take you deep into the city’s 1,400-year history, recalling ancient tales when Dubrovnik was one of the world’s most prosperous port cites. It tells tales of war and lets the tour-goer in on the culture of the city.

    We begin our journey through history and through Old Town. Pass the Franciscan Monastery and admire Orlando’s Column, a monument on the Stradun inspired by the city’s long-standing freedom and sovereignty. See, too, Onofrio’s Fountain, built in 1438 at the end of a 8-mile (12-km) aqueduct that gave the city its water supply.
