Overview

Dubrovnik exists for over 1500 years and has a fascinating history. On this tour, we'll stroll the streets of the Dubrovnik Old City, discovering the history on our way. You'll hear interesting, amusing, and very serious stories, mostly from Medieval times.
How people lived in those days, how many children they had? How the justice system operated? What was the "black death" and what the "art of dying" meant?
How punishments were performed and were? Why people got punished in those days?
Let's reveal the Medieval times together!
