Dubrovnik's Old city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is often referred to as a „Pearl of the Adriatic“. The first part of the tour is through The Old City, a well-preserved medieval walled town with narrow cobblestone streets, historic buildings and stunning architecture.

One of the highlights of the Old City is the City Walls. The walls were built between the 13th and 16th century and encircle the entire Old City, stretching for about 2 kilometers. The walls are remarkably well-preserved and offer breathtaking views of the city, the Adriatic Sea and the surrounding islands. As we stroll along the walls, we will pass by several fortresses, including Minceta Tower, which offers panoramic views from its top. We will also see the Lovrijenac Fortress, which sits on a rocky cliff just outside the city walls.
