Highlights

Onofrio’s Large Fountain - The meeting point is The Large Onofrio’s Fountain. Look for a red umbrella.
Walls of Dubrovnik - The tour starts with a walk on the walls so that you benefit from the immediate impact of the stunning panoramic views: with the shimmering Adriatic on one side and the striking red rooftops on the other, this “wall-walk” will be an unforgettable memory of your visit to Dubrovnik. The numerous forts and towers on the fortifications provide the best views of the Old City with the iconic view from the Minčeta fort being one of the highlights.
Minceta Fortress - Minčeta Fortress dominates the highest north-western part of the City. It is a large circular tower with a massive battlement suspended by stone sup-porters. The first, smaller, quadrangular tower was constructed by Nikifor Ranjina in 1319.
Fort Bokar - The Bokar Fortress was considered the key point of defense of the western sea as well as a land approach to the town. The fort was designed by the Florentine architect Michelozzo di Bartolomeo Michelozzi as a semicircular two-story building.
St. John’s Fortress - The Fortress of St John (Sveti Ivan) is one of this city’s impressive medieval defences. The towers date back to the 14th century and the main structure is from the 16th century. Often called Mulo tower, the Fortress of St John’s is another key fort in the Dubrovnik City walls defense complex.

Additional Information

Join our passionate guide on this 2-hour tour that brings Dubrovnik to life from the best vantage point possible: her magnificent wall network. Dubrovnik’s 1940m of fortified walls are the impressive results of careful planning, constant innovation and adapting to ever-changing threats and opportunities across the centuries. They are also a testament to the hard work and sacrifice of its people, who reaped the rewards when they needed protection from enemies as diverse as the Ottomans Turks, British, Russians, Austrians and even the Yugoslav army.

The tour starts with a walk on the walls so that you benefit from the immediate impact of the stunning panoramic views: with the shimmering Adriatic on one side and the striking red rooftops on the other, this “wall-walk” will be an unforgettable memory of your visit to Dubrovnik. The numerous forts and towers on the fortifications provide the best views of the Old City with the iconic view from the Minčeta fort being one of the highlights.
