Meet your local guide in the hotel lobby for a 2 hour private walking tour of Dubrovnik, one of the most beautiful stone-built cities in the world. An important maritime port and a one-time state, this cultural metropolis dates back more than 1000 years and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its historic monuments testify to its rich history. The works of artists, writers and scientists of Dubrovnik have been woven into the texture of the town. While strolling with your guide down Stradun, the main street, stop to visit the Franciscan monastery of the “Order of Friars Minors” that preserves one of the three oldest pharmacies in Europe. Continue down to Orlando Column and the Sponza Palace and visit the Church of St. Blasius, the patron-saint of the town. See the Rector’s Palace, the magnificent structure of the dukes of Dubrovnik and the Cathedral of the Virgin Mary, with its treasury of original works by Tiziano and Rafaello. After the tour we recommend you to continue exploring this unique town-museum on your own. The intricate network of cobblestone streets hides many cafes, charming boutiques and local curiosities for a truly delightful discovery.
