Overview
Visiting Dubrovnik for the first time? This tour is the perfect introduction to the city!
Join me on a relaxed 1.5-hour walking tour through Dubrovnik’s Old Town where you’ll discover the city’s most important landmarks, hear fascinating local stories, and get useful tips to help you enjoy the rest of your stay.
We’ll start at Amerling Fountain near Pile Gate and continue through the heart of the Old Town, visiting famous spots such as Onofrio's Fountain, Franciscan Monastery, Luža Square, Rector's Palace, the Jesuit stairs, the Old Port, and Fort Revelin at Ploče Gate.
Along the way, you’ll learn about Dubrovnik’s rich history, traditions, independence, and daily life — but this isn’t just a history tour. I’ll also share local recommendations on where to eat, drink, swim, watch the sunset, avoid tourist traps, and experience the city like a local.
Perfect for first-time visitors who want to see the highlights, understand the city better, and get insider tips in a fun and friendly atmosphere.
