Highlights
A fortress built in 3 months to spite the Venetian Empire. An island cursed by expelled monks — where every owner met a tragic fate. A city that survived a devastating earthquake and rebuilt itself into one of Europe’s most beautiful towns. Welcome to Dubrovnik! This self-guided audio walk takes you through 15 centuries of extraordinary stories. Learn how a medieval fountain’s 16 stone faces were carved to honour its builders. Stand in front of a palace where the ruler was locked inside for his entire one-month term — forbidden from seeing his family. The tour is available in 9 languages and works offline. Go at your own pace, pause to explore the sights, take that perfect photo and discover the real Dubrovnik behind the tourist postcards. A full refund guarantee means you can book with confidence

About Dubrovnik
Ringed by mighty walls, Dubrovnik is the pearl of the Adriatic, a medieval city of marble streets and terracotta roofs rising straight from the sea.
A walk around the city walls, nearly two kilometres of towers and bastions, gives unforgettable views over the rooftops and the sea. Inside, the Stradun, the polished limestone main street, runs from the Pile Gate past Onofrio's Fountain, the Franciscan Monastery with its old pharmacy, and the Rector's Palace.
