The Mighty Walls - Half Day-Tour

After meeting at Pile Gate (the western city gate) we shall start our discovery of the Old Town of Dubrovnik. The tour will take us to the Walls from where you will get the chance to enjoy the best vista down on Dubrovnik's Old Town. A real feast for the eye and the photographer's lens. The Old Town 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 Walls and on the Walls 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. In order to restore your exploratory strength, should you decide to stay in the Old Town for lunch I shall be happy to give you a few options regarding local restaurants.

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. Should you decide to take a peek inside, knees and shoulders must be covered, • walk down the Jewish street with its Synagogue, • take a look at the commercial heart of medieval Dubrovnik i. e. the Old Port • walk the Walls of Dubrovnik which have been included in the UNESCO World Heritage list. Hat, bottle of water and comfy shoes are highly recommended! I'll be happy to customize the tour for you, please inquire for a quote.
