Old Town Secrets Walking Tour
This walking tour of Old town will focus on everything that makes Dubrovnik unique and it will take you off the beaten path. If you desire a "regular history tour" likes of which you can find in any city in the world there are many in town that will deliver it, but this is not it. We will explore lives of the ordinary people of the town, their beliefs and customs, courting rituals and relationship with ruling class. The tour will address Dubrovnik secrets, quirkiness and unique approach to problems since Dubrovnik Republic was a first to introduce numerous new concepts, many of which are still relevant today. Architecture will be addressed also but besides just the year of built and architectural stile we will talk about the stories behind each one. For more information I'll see you at the meeting point.
