Highlights
On our Private Lopud Walking Tour we will discover the exciting history of an island that used to have ten times more inhabitants than today, its own shipyard, many rich residents and aristocrats living in stone mansions with glamorous parks and private chapels, and much more. We will go to historic sites dating from the Middle Ages all the way to the late 20th century. Moreover, you’ll find out little secrets and curiosities, such as how Lopud born ship-owner Miho Pracat is the only person in Dubrovnik history who got his statue exhibited in Dubrovnik’s Rector Palace. If you’re a romantic soul, don’t miss out on the most tragic Lopud love story of a peasant girl Marija and her forbidden love — noble Ivan. And let’s not forget the stunningly beautiful Lopud’s nature, crystal clear sea, and golden sandy beaches.

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.
Top-ranked sights in Dubrovnik: Elafiti Islands (Elaphites) , Dubrovnik Old Town, Pile Gate.
