Dubrovnik's Old Town Walking Trip

Dubrovnik’s towering walls defended the medieval city-state against envious neighbors for centuries. On this walking tour of Dubrovnik’s Old Town, I’ll guide you through its ancient fortress, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and reveal some of the secrets behind its formidable walls.

You begin the tour under the imposing Pile Gate, which guards Dubrovnik’s historic heart. You’ll delve into the Old Town’s rich history and share tales of Dubrovnik’s past as the Republic of Ragusa. As you navigate through charming alleys and picturesque squares, including the Gundulićeva Poljana Market, you’ll journey back to the city’s golden age. In Poljana Paska Miličevića, you’ll have the chance to drink from Onofrio’s Large Fountain, whose source is, surprisingly, one of the world’s shortest rivers, the Ombla. The tour concludes along the elegant Stradun Street, where the city’s patron saint, Saint Blaise, is celebrated each year
