Šibenik Pakovo Village With Lunch

OVERVIEW

Start your day with a guided panoramic transfer to Sibenik. Admire the architectural treasures in Sibenik’s historical downtown and delve into Croatia’s cultural heritage at a theme park in Pakovo. While walking through Sibenik’s atmospheric Old Town, you may see landmarks such as the Church of St. Francis – whose 13th-century cloisters remain intact – and the seemingly impenetrable Duke’s Palace, now a museum. The Cathedral of St. James may be the most noteworthy landmark as it is the only cathedral in Europe built entirely of stone. In recognition, UNESCO declared it a World Heritage site. Construction took more than 100 years and the result is a magnificent blend of Gothic and Renaissance architecture. After an old town walk proceed to Pakovo Village by your comfortable air-conditioned bus. Culture takes center stage at Etnoland, a theme park that celebrates all things Dalmatian. You can expect to see costumed actors tell folkloric stories, watch artisans demonstrate ancient skills and sample traditional products such Drniš pršut, a delicious smoked prosciutto. A three-course lunch of other Dalmatian delicacies follows. Your tour ends with a relaxing drive back to Split.
