Itinerary

1
Dubrovnik Walking Tours
The Large Onofrio's Fountain, located next to the Hard Rock Cafe, serves as our meeting point. All our tours gather here by the Red Umbrella, where your guide will briefly introduce themselves before we begin the 1.5-hour Discover Dubrovnik tour.
· 5 min
2
Onophrian Fountain
Our starting point is ideal for a concise overview of the city’s history. We'll explore the rise of Ragusa, a small maritime trading city-state, and its achievements, including the innovative aqueduct system of which the Large Onofrio’s fountain is a part.
· 10 min
3
Crkva sv. Spas
Adjacent to the fountain, we'll walk down the main street, passing the small votive Church of Holy Savior. We will discuss the significance of religion during that era and its impact on shaping the city's present form.
· Non-stop passage
4
The Franciscan Church and Monastery
Continuing our walk, we'll reach the Franciscan Church and Monastery, a substantial complex belonging to the Order of the Friars Minor. This complex includes a monastery, a church, a library, and a pharmacy. The original monastery was constructed outside the city walls in the 13th century. The library, built in the 17th century, houses over 20,000 books, including 1,200 rare old manuscripts. The pharmacy, established in 1317, is the third oldest functioning pharmacy globally. We will touch upon various enduring local traditions that have persisted for centuries.
· 10 min
5
Stradun
We will continue our walk along Placa, also known as Stradun, the city's most popular promenade and gathering spot. This street is the site of all public celebrations and processions, and it also serves as the city's primary business thoroughfare. The widest and most beautiful street divides the city into its northern and southern sections. From this vantage point, we will examine the city's layout in greater detail. You will learn about the decline of the venerable Republic of Ragusa, leading up to more recent history involving Yugoslavia and the Homeland War of the 1990s, and the hardships the city faced during that period.
· 10 min
6
Church of the Holy Annunciation
We will leave the main street to explore the narrower lanes of the Old Town as we head towards the Port. We will stop by the Orthodox Christian Church to discuss the influence of other religious communities, such as the Orthodox Christian, Jewish, and Muslim faiths, on the city's history.
· 10 min
7
Monument of Poet Ivan Gundulic
We will arrive at the Green Market in Gundulic Square, where we can observe and discuss local produce, along with interesting stories and traditions.
· 10 min
8
Rector's Palace
Next, we will visit one of the city's most significant buildings: The Rector's Palace. This palace served as the official residence of the Rector of the Republic of Ragusa from the 14th century until 1808. It also housed the Minor Council and the state administration. Additionally, the palace contained an armoury, a powder magazine, a watch house, and a prison.
· Non-stop passage
9
The Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary
We will then proceed to the Cathedral. According to legend, Richard the Lionheart was shipwrecked near Lokrum Island, just off Dubrovnik, in 1192 while returning from the Crusades.
· 5 min
10
City Harbor
Dubrovnik's ships were renowned throughout the Mediterranean, with galleons from the Republic serving in navies across Europe and beyond. These vessels were constructed and loaded in the historic Arsenal, another stop on our tour. Once at the Old Port, your guide will share tales of the famous Quarantine and the nearby fortresses of St. Luke and St. John.
· 15 min
11
Orlando Column
Departing from the Port, we will reach the eastern end of Placa (Stradun) street, beneath the City Bell Tower on Luza Square. Here, we will cover several interesting stories and monuments, including the church dedicated to the patron saint, St. Blaise, the legend of the knight Orlando and his column, Sponza Palace, the Small Onofrio's Fountain, and the tall Bell Tower.
