About this tour
This session walks from the Ploče gate down to Dubrovnik's small old harbour, a stretch my own family has used for generations. You see the gate itself, once controlling traffic entering from the east, then the harbour below, where a handful of working fishing boats still moor among the tourist boats. It is a working corner of the old town rather than only a scenic one.
We start at the gate with a sound check, then walk down to the harbour for the second stop, taking questions about the boats and the gate's history. A short note follows once the session ends.
It suits anyone who wants a locals' view of the old town's working side. It also suits an early booking, when the harbour is at its most active.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later

The camera looks up at the Ploče gate, one of the old town's main entrances, and I explain how it once controlled traffic from the east.

A short list to keep 3 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Dalmatian pršut and Ploče, worth a slower look.
Good to know
