Nestled on the impressive coast of Croatia, the city truly is one of the most beautiful ones you’ll ever see. After your driver and guide pick you up from the cruise terminal, you will begin your Essential Old Town Dubrovnik excursion by visiting the historical core of Old Town. Walk/roll into Old Town Dubrovnik and enjoy the architecture, shops, and landmarks of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. Make your way down the Placa Thoroughfare or Stradun, a beautiful limestone pedestrian street, and the main street in the city. On this tour, you will see the exterior of the historic Franciscan Monastery as your tour guide narrates you through the fascinating history that belongs here. You’ll also see one of the oldest functioning pharmacies in the world, the Friars Minor Pharmacy, established around the same year as the monastery — somewhere around 1317. The pharmacy is also a museum, where you can learn about the history of the trade as well as view ancient manuscripts and artifacts. Also, just next door to the monastery is St. Savior Church, a small 14th century church, and one of the few Renaissance buildings to survive the big earthquake of 1667. Afterward, you’ll proceed to the majestic Rector’s Palace, used by the Republic of Ragusa as the seat of the Rector between the 14th century and 1808. Although the interior of the Palace is not wheelchair accessible, the incredible exterior is sure to take your breath away. Nearby, you will also see the Dubrovnik Synagogue, believed to have been established in 1352. This Sefardic Synagogue is the oldest still in use in the world today!
