Dubrovnik Shore Excursion: Old Town Walking Tour

Summary

While your ship is docked in Dubrovnik, take this exciting and informative walking tour of one of the best preserved medieval towns in Europe. This 2-hour guided walking tour pairs you with a local guide who will regale you and your group with intriguing tales of the city’s history, showing off how special this UNESCO World Heritage-listed town is. Start at Pile Gate, one of three ways into the Old Town, and then stop at Onofrio’s Fountain, a drinking fountain connected to a 7.5-mile (12-km) aqueduct that has, for centuries, carried drinking water into the city. Then, walk a little further and you’ll be at the Franciscan Monastery, home to one of the oldest still-functioning pharmacies in Europe. Wander around the 14th-century Gothic cloister and take in some of the art. Continue down the Stradun, the limestone-covered main pedestrian street of Dubrovnik and pay a visit to Sponza Palace, a Renaissance-era Sponza structure that is now home to the state archives. In the main square, have a look at Orlando’s Column, the City Bell Tower, the Rector’s Palace and the Church of St Blaise. Across the square, visit the Cathedral of the Assumption, a beautiful baroque sanctuary, that was partially rebuilt after an earthquake in the 18th century.
