About Dubrovnik Tours
Dubrovnik is a Croatian city on the Adriatic Sea, in the region of Dalmatia. The first glimpse of this jaw-dropping coastal city, with its massive stone ramparts and fortress towers, a tiny harbour, sun-bleached orange-tiled roofs, copper domes, and elegant bell towers, would surely turn out to be one of those memories that last a lifetime. Off its coast are uninhabited islands, untouched by man. It is one of the most beautiful fortified cities in the world, so much so that this magnificent medieval walled city has been used as a location for filming HBO’s “Game of Thrones” and Neil Jordan’s “The Borgias.” However, behind these beautiful walls, is a violent past which pushed the city to the verge of extinction on more than one occasion. You can explore the past through Dubrovnik day tours by locals.
From 1358 to 1808 the city thrived as a powerful and remarkably sophisticated independent republic, but in 1667 many of its splendid Gothic and Renaissance buildings were destroyed by an earthquake. The city once again came under heavy siege in 1808 during Croatia’s war for independence. Today, few traces of the damage can be seen due to the careful restoration work. One of the best tours in Dubrovnik include a tour inside the protective walls of the old city where one can find historic churches, public buildings, designer shops, homey restaurants, medieval sculptures, modern galleries, fountains, bell towers monasteries, gardens and an impeccable view of the crystal clear waters of the Mediterranean Sea. Dubrovnik is one such place where your imagination would run wild and you can’t help but try and picture what the city looked like 7 centuries ago in all its pomp and glory.
