Walk the walls of Dubrovnik with a local! - Free guided tour
Tour description
Welcome everybody to this unusual walk along the walls of Dubrovnik!
Join me for a guided tour of the northern half of the city walls and you'll hear about cannons, medieval warfare, military engineering, smart diplomacy, and the struggle to survive!
We'll have nine stops along the way where you'll learn about the old Republic of Ragusa, the ancient Dubrovnik city-state, and how we protected our freedom and remained independent for 450 years, facing powerful rivals like Venice and the Ottoman Empire.
We'll cover the history of the walls, how they were built, and how they defended the city throughout the centuries. We'll also talk about the 1991 war in Croatia and the attacks on Dubrovnik.
As a local, I'll even show you my street - you can see it from the walls! (yes, I live inside the Old town ;) All the while you'll be able to enjoy amazing views of the Old Town and the Adriatic Sea.
This walk is a one-part guided tour, one-part do-your-own-thing: I'll leave you halfway through the walls, but enriched with new knowledge you can continue on your own! Feel free to take as many photos as you want, and walk the rest of the walls at your own pace... Just enjoy!
IMPORTANT !! - Please keep in mind that you must buy either the regular tickets for the walls or the Dubrovnik Pass to enter the walls. They are NOT included!
