Overview
Join our passionate guide on this 2-hour tour that brings Dubrovnik to life from the best vantage point possible: her magnificent wall network. Dubrovnik’s 1940m of fortified walls are the impressive results of careful planning, constant innovation and adapting to ever-changing threats and opportunities across the centuries.
They are also a testament to the hard work and sacrifice of its people, who reaped the rewards when they needed protection from enemies as diverse as the Ottomans Turks, British, Russians, Austrians and even the Yugoslav army.
The tour starts with a walk on the walls so that you benefit from the immediate impact of the stunning panoramic views: with the shimmering Adriatic on one side and the striking red rooftops on the other, this "wall-walk" will be an unforgettable memory of your visit to Dubrovnik.
The numerous forts and towers on the fortifications provide the best views of the Old City with the iconic view from the Minčeta fort being one of the highlights.
