Highlights
Step back in time and discover the stories behind Hvar’s stunning architecture, rich traditions, and vibrant culture. Wander through the cobbled streets of Hvar’s old town as your local licensed guide brings centuries of history to life—from power struggles between nobles and commoners to the birth of Europe’s first public theatre. Learn about the art of UNESCO-protected lace-making, and gain a deeper understanding of daily life on the island, both past and present. See the beautiful Renaissance Loggia, the grand main square, St. Stephen’s Cathedral, and many more hidden gems and stories waiting to be discovered. We explore from the outside, giving you the freedom to visit interiors later at your own pace. Get all the practical details-like entrance fees and opening hours-so you can continue exploring on your own, fully informed. *Solo travellers are welcome to book, but please note that this tour requires a total of 2 people to run. We will keep you updated on the group status.*

About Hvar
Hvar is a long Adriatic island of lavender, vineyards and Venetian stonework, with a harbour town beneath a hilltop fortress.
Hvar town curves around a harbour on the island's south-west coast, with a broad stone square, a Renaissance loggia and a Venetian arsenal. The upper floor of the arsenal holds a theatre dating from 1612, among the oldest public theatres in Europe. Above the town, the fortress on the hill gives the best view over the red roofs and the Pakleni Islands offshore.
Top-ranked sights in Hvar: Pakleni Islands (Paklinski Islands), Hvar Spanish Fortress (Tvrdava Fortica), Cathedral of St. Stephen (Hvar Cathedral).
