This walking tour of Old Town will highlight everything that makes Dubrovnik special and will take you off the usual tourist path. If you’re looking for a “regular history tour” like those available in any city, there are plenty in town that offer that, but this isn’t one of them.
We’ll delve into the lives of the town’s ordinary people, their beliefs and customs, courting rituals, and their relationship with the ruling class. The tour will uncover Dubrovnik’s secrets, quirks, and unique problem-solving approaches, as the Dubrovnik Republic was the first to introduce numerous innovative concepts, many of which remain relevant today.
Architecture will also be discussed, but rather than just focusing on construction dates and architectural styles, we’ll share the stories behind each structure. For more information, I’ll see you at the meeting point.
