Dubrovnik's Old Town is a walled city center with narrow streets, historic buildings, and landmarks dating back centuries. This small-group walking tour lasts about 90 minutes to 2 hours and is led by a local licensed guide who shares detailed stories about the city's history and everyday life. The tour starts at Ploče Gate, the eastern entrance to the Old Town, where the guide gives an introduction to Dubrovnik's origins and significance. Visitors then walk through the main streets, visiting key sites including the Dominican Monastery, the former shipbuilding area of the Dubrovnik Republic, and the Baroque cathedral with its complex history. Additional stops include the Jesuit Church and its connection to a famous Jesuit from Dubrovnik, the market square with the poet Marin Držić’s statue, the political center of the old republic, Sponza Palace which now houses archives, and the city’s belltower. The guide also shares stories about Saint Blaise, the city’s patron saint, and the knight Orlando, a symbol of Dubrovnik. The tour covers the history of Dubrovnik’s Jewish community, walks along Stradun - the main street - and visits a 15th-century fountain and one of Europe’s oldest continuously operating pharmacies run by Franciscans. The tour concludes near Pile Gate, the western entrance to the Old Town, with an explanation of the republic’s end and its historical context. This small-group experience includes a licensed professional guide, and groups never exceed eight people to allow a personable interaction and detailed explanations.
