Today you have a whole day to enjoy this magical town. After breakfast we will take out our sandals for an unforgettable walking tour through Dubrovnik’s Old City, especially its Jewish part. Jewish merchants from Albania are mentioned in the local archives as early as 1368. After the Spanish expulsion in 1492, Dubrovnik became an important transit center for refugees travelling to Balkan cities under Turkish rule. Jews were allowed to settle in Dubrovnik and were given customs privileges to encourage transit trade. Jews dealt mainly in textiles, silk, wool, leather, and spices. They were allowed to live inside the walls in 1538, but in 1546 a ghetto was established in a small street (still called the Jewish Street) enclosed by walls, and the gate was locked at night. Our visit to the Jewish Museum, located in the second oldest Sephardic synagogue in Europe will be an opportunity to truly travel back in time.

Starting at the Onofrio's Fountain, a historic source of fresh drinking water, we'll meander along Stradun Street to the Old Port. Marvel at St. Saviour's, the grandiose Franciscan and Dominican churches, each steeped in centuries of history. Delve into the Old Port with our guide, unveiling the legends of the famous Quarantine and the fortresses of St. Luke and St. John.

Ships from Dubrovnik were known throughout the  mediterranean: galleons and karakas, all built and loaded in the legendary Arsenal, now the popular City Café. Discover Dubrovnik's revered landmarks: the church of St. Blaise, protector of the city; the majestic Cathedral; the historic Rector's Palace; the elegant Sponza Palace; and the iconic Orlando's Column.
