Walls & Wars of Dubrovnik

Overview of the tour in Dubrovnik

Defenses & fortification system of Dubrovnik

Your guide will lead you on top of and around the city walls for breathtaking views of the port and the old town. You'll discover why the city walls served as essential structures protecting the people and wealth of the old town for centuries.

This historic walk will focus on the defensive and political challenges faced by Dubrovnik in its struggle to survive as a tiny (yet prosperous) independent republic facing serious threats from powerful and dangerous enemies. Over the centuries, the leaders and the walls of Dubrovnik both held firm.

This tour is a bit steep due to all the stairs on the city walls and therefore not suitable for everyone. It is also not suitable for pregnant women and there are no planned bathroom breaks in this 2-hour tour.
