Go ahead and book today your seat at the best Essential Free Tour of Dubrovnik to have a good start at Croatia’s most touristy town. You will walk with a charming local guide that will help you navigate the labyrinthic old town, see stunning churches and discover the best attractions. Your free tour around Dubrovnik’s old town will focus on wonders such as Fort Lovrijenac. This fortress, so impressive that it’s often called "Dubrovnik's Gibraltar", was erected to protect the city from the Venetian fleet and it took more than five centuries to finish!

Your Essential Free Tour of Dubrovnik will start with an engaging introduction to the history and developments of this wonderful town: from an early medieval settlement for war refugees, to its heyday in the 15th and 16th centuries. One of the most important highlights of the tour will be the stop at the Rector’s Palace, once the administrative center of the Dubrovnik Republic. With a mix of Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque styles, this wonderful building never fails to enchant tourists. Not far from there, your group will also find the Assumption Cathedral. Built in the place of a former 7th-century basilica and a previous cathedral destroyed by an earthquake, this temple was expanded until it became the wonderful place of worship that can be visited today. Your local guide will help you read the wonderful facade and understand the importance of religion in Croatia.

Apart from exploring the past, your free tour will also let guests understand the horrific damage inflicted to the city in 1991–92, during Croatia's struggle for independence. Much of the old city has since been restored, but some scars will take many more years to heal. Strolling along the Old Town Port with a group of like-minded international travelers and your local guide, you will be able to understand the dramatic Siege of Dubrovnik, and how the city has slowly recovered to become one of the hottest tourist destinations in Europe. During the tour, your guide will also share useful tips of what to do, what to eat and where to go partying, so you can make the most of your trip. This has to be one of the best ways to enjoy a day in Croatia! So, book your seat on the Essential Free Tour of Dubrovnik today!
