Old City, History & Culture Tour

This tour starts by the western gates of the Old City and it's a combined overview of the most important landmarks (as well as side streets), the overall history and culture of Dubrovnik.
 
First learn how the city, also known as The Pearl of Adriatic, came to be, how it grew and became one of the largest walled cities in Europe.

Then immerse yourselves into the turbulent history of the city and Croatia, and you will soon realize why Winston Churchill once said that the peoples of the Balkans produce more history than they can consume.

The first part of the tour includes a bit more of general history but also main sites and landmarks, the second half includes less general history and more main sites, monuments, lovely side streets and details.

IMPORTANT: 

Please DON'T book this tour if you:
 
- prefer "fun" facts and casual chitchat over deeper understanding of the city's history 
- don't understand English well
-  think this tour is a 2h "Blitzkrieg" of all sites/monuments without any history telling and explanation (you can do that on your own). 

Note it's impossible to cover the entire Old City in a 2h walking tour, and we don't enter museums and churches. 

You will see:

• Kolorina Cove
• Saint Lawrence Fortress;
• Bokar Fortress 
• Pile Gate (western gates and moat) and the Main Street (Stradun)
• Large Onofrio's fountain
• Franciscan Church 
• Old Granary 
• Jesuit stairs (GOT Walk of Shame stairs)
• Jesuit Church 
• The Cathedral 
• Rector's palace 
• Sponza palace and more.
