Dubrovnik: History and Picture Perfect Views

After meeting in the cruise ship port or at your hotel/flat the road will take us to a high ridge. I would like to take you to this spot as it will give you the chance to enjoy the best vista down on Dubrovnik's Old Town. Dubrovnik is a city that you simply must see from the above. A real feast for the eye and the photographer's lens. Following a few words of introduction we shall drive into the Old Town which is hemmed in by towering mountains and the Adriatic Sea but these natural fences were reinforced by the sturdy walls which defended and defined the city limits. The walking tour within the walled city will give me the chance to share the passion I have for the rich history of our city. I am a history buff and therefore I shall do my best to bring to life Dubrovnik's past.

During the walking tour, you'll get to: • walk down the main street called Stradun • stop and take a photo or two of Onofrio's Fountain built at the very end of the medieval aqueduct which was an amazing feat of engineering given the time period. • stop in front the Franciscan Monastery and learn about its pharmacy. Did you know that it is one of the oldest in the world? • photograph and enjoy the elaborate architecture of Sponza Palace and the Rector's Palace • stop in front of St Blaise's Chruch and learn about the protector of our city. • walk down the Jewish street with its Synagogue, • take a look at the commercial heart of medieval Dubrovnik i. e. the Old Port
