About this tour
Step inside the historic Lazareti, one of Europe’s oldest quarantine complexes, explore the former Jewish quarter, and uncover intriguing corners once associated with the city’s red-light district — places where history feels alive and unfiltered.
As we walk through Dubrovnik’s oldest neighbourhoods, you’ll admire graceful patrician palaces, hear vivid tales of nobles, merchants, sailors, and everyday citizens, and visit the powerful Memorial Room inside Sponza Palace, dedicated to the city’s fallen defenders.
