Day Trip to Dubrovnik From Split

Summary

A World Heritage Site enclosed within massive city walls on the edge of the Adriatic Sea. No visit to Dubrovnik would be complete without a walk around the spectacular city walls, the finest in the world and the city's main claim to fame. From the top, the view over the old town and the shimmering Adriatic is sublime. You can get a good handle on the extent of the shelling damage in the 1990s by gazing over the rooftops: those sporting bright new terracotta suffered damage and had to be replaced.  The first set of walls to enclose the city was built in the 9th century. In the middle of the 14th century the 1.5m-thick defense was fortified with 15 square forts. The threat of attacks from the Turks in the 15th century prompted the city to strengthen the existing forts and add new ones, so that the entire old town was contained within a stone barrier 2km long and up to 25m high.  Regardless of whether you are visiting Dubrovnik for the first time or the 100th, the sense of awe never fails to rise when you set eyes on the beauty of this old town.  Although the shelling of Dubrovnik in 1991 horrified the world, the city has bounced back with characteristic vigour to enchant visitors again.

About operator:

My name's Ante Rupcic and am a licensed tour guide & owner Private Tours travel agency and Authentic Family Farm to Table & B&B. Since 2010 I've been actively involved in all segments of tourism and seen that guests mostly cherish authentic experiences & tastes. My family & I would love to take you into our home in our village of Hardomilje and show you our way of life which has changed little over the generations & is based on organically grown food & homemade specialties. Croatia is an umbrella term for hystory, culture, gourmet food, fine wines, beautiful Adriatic Sea, numerous unique National Parks and stunning landscapes – only a handful of places in the world offer such intense pleasure and abiding memories. Our itineraries have been selected for their authenticity including the classical routes but also – and perhaps even better – the chance to discover lesser known, enchanting and evocative locations.
