About this tour
This session walks the Dominican Monastery's cloister, one of the quietest corners in Dubrovnik's old town, timed for early in the day. You see the worn stone steps and carved column capitals in the Gothic cloister, then the old library wing that once held one of the city's most important manuscript collections. It is a calmer counterpoint to the busier main streets.
We move through the cloister with a sound check, then reach the library for the second stop, taking questions about the manuscripts and the building's history. A short list of names follows once the session ends.
It suits anyone who prefers a quieter, slower-paced session away from the crowds. It also suits an early booking specifically, since the cloister is calmest before mid-morning.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
