Itinerary
Our first stop offers you a stunning viewpoint overlooking the Ombla River, a vital water source for Dubrovnik and part of the Natura 2000 protected landscape. Regarded as the world's shortest river, its crystal-clear waters maintain a constant temperature of 10°C (50°F). The shores are lined with historic summer residences and chapels of Dubrovnik's ancient rulers, offering both natural beauty and a glimpse into the city’s rich heritage
Explore the iconic Dubrovnik Bridge, a modern engineering marvel completed in 2002. Spanning 518 meters and rising 55 meters above the Ombla River Bay, the bridge connects both shores with elegance and functionality. From its vantage point, you can enjoy stunning panoramic views of the Gruž port, the Lapad Peninsula and Babin Kuk. Beyond its practical purpose, the bridge has become a favorite spot for bungee jumping and offers breathtaking vistas of Dubrovnik’s vibrant new district, making it a must-visit landmark.
Pause at a picturesque viewpoint that offers sweeping views of the Elafiti Islands, the Dr. Franjo Tuđman Bridge, Gruž Bay, and the charming neighborhoods of Lapad and Babin Kuk.
At the ruins of an old Napoleon garrison near Bosanka Village, capture postcard-perfect views of Dubrovnik’s Old Town with its red-tiled roofs and city walls. From this vantage point, admire a stunning panorama of the Old Town, Lokrum Island, Bosnia and Herzegovina’s hills, Cavtat, and the open sea, while your guide shares insights into Dubrovnik’s rich history.
Rising 412 meters above Dubrovnik, Mount Srđ offers spectacular views of the Old Town, modern Dubrovnik, Lokrum, Cavtat, and even three countries. See Fort Imperial, a Napoleonic-era fortress, and admire the mountain range that forms the natural border with Bosnia and Herzegovina, while your guide reveals the site’s rich history and geography.
The last stop Arboretum Trsteno, located near Dubrovnik, is the oldest Renaissance arboretum in Croatia. Visitors can enjoy exotic plants, monumental plane trees over 500 years old, a Baroque fountain with a statue of Neptune, and stunning views of the Adriatic Sea. The arboretum is also known as one of the filming locations for Game of Thrones, where it served as the gardens of King's Landing. This magical place offers a unique blend of history, botany, and cinematic charm.

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.
