Minčeta Fortress
One of 5 fortresses surrounding Dubrovnik old town and its highest point, Minceta Tower offers a spectacular view over Old Town roofs. Mt. Srd on one side and the Adriatic Sea the the other side complete the experience. Standing proud above the City, it is an eternal symbol of unconquerable Dubrovnik.
Curiosity489840: „Excellent tour with Ivo - a true local guide! We booked a private tour since we have a five year old daughter… It was the perfect choice for our family. Ivo was so patient with keeping the pace of our daughter, he repeated everything one of us may have missed, and answered every question our 11 year old son threw at him (and there were plenty of them!). He was also happy to snap pics at the best photo spots in the Old Town. Our timing in Dubrovnik was perfect - no crowds anywhere.
We also used Ivo to take us back to the airport. Not only was he very prompt for pick up, he called ahead to arrange to pick us up early when he saw that traffic was backed up to make sure that we got to the airport in plenty of time.
We feel like we made a friend in Ivo. We will definitely look him up when we return to Dubrovnik, and will refer all of our friends to him!“ Read more
Lovrijenac Fortress
Back in the 11th century, the Venetians wanted to build a fort where Fort Lovrijenac currently is. If they had succeeded, they would have kept Dubrovnik under their power, but the people of Dubrovnik were clever enough to anticipate their intentions and built it before they arrived at the City.
