Additional Information

Roaming around the city, be it during the day or at night, through its narrow lanes that were once unlighted in the Middle Ages, is a wonderful experience. Visitors will get a taste of medieval times as they traverse the dark byways of the city, which we shall illuminate using lamps from that era. This is why ‘Game of the Thrones’ chose Sibenik as their stage. Navigating the city’s tunnels, covered passages, and holes is a unique experience. You will get to observe the location of Sibenik’s Pillory, the escape routes of the fraudsters from the medieval market, and the monasteries where nuns would pray for the city. You will discover the role of light in the Cathedral building, understand the significance of the midnight of 17th December, and reason why all 72 city bells would chime. An experienced guide, proficient in the history of Sibenik, will escort you through a night walk around the Sibenik streets. However, the day tour is equally appealing and packed with intriguing details.

Best Tour of Medieval/ Renaissance Sibenik - Dario’s evening tour of medieval Sibenik was the best tour I have taken anywhere. His knowledge of the city snd cathedral is very impressive. We saw so much and he shared many stories. At the same time he was extremely patient with me as I am a little slow on the stone steps that are such an integral part of this city. If you have a passion for history and architecture, do not miss the chance to take this tour. And thank you again, Dario for a marvelous time!

Good from a religious perspective - Dario was very knowledgeable, though more religion base rather than medieval history, which is what we were hoping for
