Join me on this tour and get to know my city, from its rich history to its very busy and touristic present. The crowds are hard to avoid but it will be worth it as you will also get to visit a private palace that opens its door only to us. We will walk past major attractions of Dubrovnik and you will find out everything you need to know about Dubrovnik’s history: foundation, time of independence, and war in the 90s. Maybe even more interesting, you will encounter some locals and find out how the local community lives, our traditions, daily routines, and modern-day struggles. There is no better place to talk about it, than in the 16th-century palace which is home to a local family. And, just like locals believe, solving problems is easier with a good shot of rakija accompanied by homemade sweets and coffee.
Please note that this tour aims to contribute to preserving and restoring the furniture and the palace itself. By attending this experience, you are supporting the local community.
On our tour we will see the most significant buildings and institutions of Dubrovnik. Starting from the western gates, Pile gate. We will stroll through the city along the main street, but we will still visit some interesting places which are hiding in the small streets. Highlights: - Pile Gate - Stradun (main street) - Onofrio's fountain - Sponza palace - Rector's palace - Saint Blaise church - green market - Cathedral - Old Harbour - private palace
You will make your own way to the meeting points
