Croatia Highlights: Dubrovnik & Hvar

Today, take time to explore Dubrovnik’s enchanting Old Town at your own pace. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, this beautifully preserved medieval city is encircled by ancient walls and filled with architectural gems and cultural landmarks that reflect centuries of rich history.

Stroll over to the Rector’s Palace, a stunning 15th-century building that once housed Dubrovnik’s elected ruler. Now a museum, it showcases elegant period rooms, historic artifacts, and a fascinating collection of coats of arms.

You may also want to visit the Franciscan Monastery, known for its serene 14th-century cloister and small museum. Be sure not to miss the historic pharmacy, which has been operating since 1317, making it one of the oldest in Europe.

In the morning, venture just outside Dubrovnik’s city walls and hop on the cable car to Mt. Srđ—a quick 4-minute ride that rewards you with panoramic views of the Old Town, the Adriatic Sea, and the nearby Elaphiti Islands.

After descending, consider a short 10-minute ferry ride (additional cost) from Dubrovnik’s Old Harbor to the lush island of Lokrum. Spend your afternoon wandering the botanical gardens, exploring the historic Benedictine monastery, or enjoying a swim in one of the island’s scenic coves.

In the evening, return to the Old Town, settle into a cozy café, and unwind with a glass of Croatian wine as you soak in the charm of this vibrant coastal city.

Say farewell to Dubrovnik as you head to Gruz Port for your ferry ride to the island of Hvar. Upon arrival, you’ll be transferred to your accommodation to begin the next chapter of your Croatian getaway.

Enjoy the rest of the day at your leisure in sun-soaked Hvar, known for its mild winters, warm summers, and abundant sunshine. Take in the island’s natural beauty—lavender fields and vineyards stretch across the rugged Mediterranean terrain, cascading from pine-covered hills down to serene, white-stone bays.

Continue your walk to the Cathedral of St. Stephen and the nearby Franciscan Monastery, easily spotted by its distinctive high bell tower.

In the afternoon, take a scenic walk up to the Fortica (Španjola Fortress), a medieval stronghold built in the 13th century to guard the harbor. At the top, you’ll be rewarded with panoramic views of Hvar Town and the stunning Pakleni Islands just offshore.

As night falls, experience Hvar’s legendary nightlife. From seaside lounges to lively bars, the island has long attracted global icons—from Jackie Kennedy Onassis to Beyoncé—who’ve all embraced its electric summer energy.

Today, consider taking a trip beyond Hvar Town to explore Stari Grad, a charming northern port and the oldest town in Croatia. Wander the narrow stone alleys, admire the centuries-old harborfront homes, and immerse yourself in the town’s timeless atmosphere. Be sure to visit Tvrdalj Castle, the beautifully preserved 16th-century residence of Croatian poet Petar Hektorović, complete with a tranquil fishpond and walled garden.

Later, return to Hvar Town to watch the sunset paint the Adriatic sky. Cap off your evening with a delicious meal at a konoba—a traditional Dalmatian tavern known for serving fresh, authentic coastal Croatian cuisine in a warm, rustic setting.
