Highlights
- Fort Lovrijenac - Perched on a 30-meter high rock, Fort Lovrijenac once served as a lookout for Venetian ships, alerting the city guard. Today, it is a renowned venue for Shakespearean dramas. If you get the chance to perform Hamlet here, you’re destined to become a world-famous actor.
- Stradun - Also known as Placa, Stradun is Dubrovnik’s main street. Stretching 300 meters, it divides the city into northern and southern parts and serves as the quickest route between the Ploce and Pile gates, the eastern and western entrances to the city. As you stroll down this picturesque street, our guide will share stories about Dubrovnik’s water system, its first orphanage, and the devastating earthquake of 1667.
- Luza Square - The most important square for Dubrovnik’s residents, Luza Square is the hub of activity. From concerts and the opening ceremony of the Dubrovnik Summer Festival to proclamations and acclamations, this is the place to be. It is surrounded by the Sponza Palace, the former tax house of the Dubrovnik Republic, the Bell Tower, and St. Blaise Church, the church of our savior. Here, you’ll learn about the Republic’s tax system and why St. Blaise became Dubrovnik’s patron saint.
- Rector’s Palace - One of Dubrovnik’s most stunning landmarks, the Rector’s Palace was the residence of the Rector, the head of Dubrovnik, when elected (Dubrovnik was an aristocratic republic). Here, you’ll discover the intricacies of Dubrovnik’s political system and understand how the city managed to remain an independent republic for over 500 years.
- Gunduliceva Poljana Market - Our final stop, Gundulic Square, is a versatile area. In the early morning, it serves as Dubrovnik’s green market, later transforming into a place where you can buy handmade souvenirs and local products. By evening, it becomes an exclusive spot for a romantic dinner.
