Walking tour in Hvar

Tour Price : €150 Duration : 2 hours Languages: English, Croatian

Step back in time on this sunset walking tour through the heart of Hvar’s old town.
Wander cobblestone streets as your local guide brings centuries of history to life — from the power struggles between noble and common classes to the birth of Europe’s first public theatre. Discover the tradition of UNESCO-protected lace, and gain insights into the daily life of Hvar’s people, past and present. Along the way, you’ll pass picturesque stone alleys, dramatic architecture, cathedral and little churches, and charming local spots — perfect for snapping unique shots.

The tour begins at the Arsenal, one of the town’s most iconic landmarks, and ends at the hilltop fortress, just in time to watch the sunset over the Pakleni Islands — a truly unforgettable view.

There you’ll have time to photograph the breathtaking panoramic views of the islands and the town below.

You can choose to stay at the fortress for a drink as the sun goes down, or descend back to the city center with your guide.

This is a leisurely walking tour (easy to intermediate level) with an elevation gain of 100 meters. Comfortable shoes recommended!
