Dubrovnik City Walls Tour: Walk the Medieval Walls with a Local Guide

 

Do you want to walk the walls of Dubrovnik with a local guide in a small group of like-minded travelers? Look no further! We have a two-hour guided walking tour that takes you around the medieval walls, led by a Dubrovnik-born professional tour guide who will share their personal reflections and stories from the past.

Our walking tour of the city walls is perfect for those who want to avoid the crowds and heat, as we start in the early morning or late afternoon. Meet your guide and fellow travelers at our meeting point and get ready for a fun and informative two hours! The tour begins by the eastern Ploče gate, which is ideal for avoiding the stairs and crowds at the main entrance.

With our small-group tour, there will never be more than eight guests, which means you'll have a more personal experience with your guide and fellow travelers. During the walk, you'll learn about medieval warfare, the construction of the walls, and how they protected Dubrovnik from Venetians and Ottoman Turks.

We'll make about a dozen stops along the way, where you'll hear about the city's history and admire the stunning views of the red rooftops and the Adriatic sea. Our walking tour of the walls is interactive and engaging, designed to leave you with a greater understanding of Dubrovnik's rich history.
