Overview

Did you know that Dubrovnik was one of the most prosperous and advanced maritime republics of all time? On this historic walk, you'll travel through the heart of the old town and witness the impressive economic, social, and cultural achievements of Dubrovnik over the centuries. Starting by Pile Gate, you'll discover many essential old town landmarks such as the Franciscan Monastery, D'Onofrio's Fountain, Orlando's Column, and Rector's Palace, and learn about her 1400 years of history.

What you will be doing

Meet up at Brsalje 8

This is our meeting point, we all gather here and the guide briefly presents him/herself and off we go! Dubrovnik never fails to awe the visitor: its streets are paved with white limestone, its walls crown the city, and its medieval sandstone-coloured houses oozing with history. This 1.5-hour guided walking tour takes you deep into the city's 1,400-year history, recalling ancient tales when Dubrovnik was one of the world's most prosperous port cities. It tells tales of war and lets the tour-goer in on the culture of the city.

See, too, Onofrio's Fountain, built in 1438 at the end of an 8-mile (12km) aqueduct that gave the city its water supply.
