About this tour
This session walks the small morning market just outside Dubrovnik's Pile Gate. You see the stalls themselves with produce brought in that morning, then a wider view of the market set against the old gate behind it. It shows a working, everyday side of the old town alongside its monuments.
We start among the stalls with a sound check, then step back for the second stop, taking questions about what is in season and where it comes from. A short list of what was on offer follows once we finish.
It suits anyone curious about everyday Dubrovnik rather than only its walls and palaces. It also suits an early booking, since the market is at its best before mid-morning.
Included
- Live video session with a local guide
- A close look at the dishes and where locals buy them
- A short list of places and dishes to try later
Not included
- Food and drinks shown on camera
- Travel to the city

A short list to keep 3 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Crni rižot (black risotto) and Old Town, worth a slower look.
Good to know

- Ask questions any time, out loud or in the chat. The guide will pause to answer.
- Sessions run in small groups, up to 8 people, so there is room for everyone to ask something.
Questions about this tour
What will the session cover?
The guide walks through Dubrovnik, showing you The market stalls and Pile Gate backdrop live on camera, plus whatever else you would like to see.
What happens if my connection drops?
Rejoin with the same link within a few minutes and the guide will catch you up on anything you missed.
Can I ask the guide questions during the session, or is it a fixed script?
Anything, any time. Sessions leave room for your own questions throughout, not just at the end.
Do I need to buy or cook anything?
No. This is a conversation: the guide describes the dishes and where to find them, so you can try them yourself whenever suits you.
