Dubrovnik Jewish City Tour
After breakfast at the hotel, meet your local guide for a walking tour of Dubrovnik’s Old Town. Known for its well-preserved architecture and cultural landmarks, the city is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A highlight of the visit is the city’s defensive walls, stretching nearly two kilometers and offering views across the rooftops and coastline. Along the way, you’ll pass landmarks such as the Stradun, Onofrio’s Fountain, and take a scenic cable car ride for a panoramic view of Dubrovnik and the nearby islands. A special focus of today’s tour is Dubrovnik’s Jewish heritage. The visit includes Žudioska Ulica (Jewish Street) and the Dubrovnik Synagogue, one of the oldest Sephardic synagogues still in use. Your guide will share stories of the Jewish community that settled here after fleeing the Inquisition, establishing a presence that endured through the Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian periods. As you walk through the former Jewish Ghetto, you’ll learn how this small community contributed to the cultural fabric of the city. The rest of the day is free for you to explore or relax at your own pace.
