About this tour
This session climbs Fort Lovrijenac, a clifftop fortress just outside Dubrovnik's main City Walls, built to guard the western approach on its own. You see the steps up to the fort and then the upper terrace, with a sheer drop to the sea below and a spot the fort has been used for filming. It is a quieter stop than the main walls circuit.
We climb the steps with a sound check, then move to the terrace for the second stop, taking questions about the fort's separate defensive role. A short note follows once the call ends.
It suits anyone who wants Dubrovnik's defences explained beyond the main wall circuit. It also suits a shorter booking alongside a longer walls session.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later
Not included
- Internet connection
- Travel to the city
Itinerary
-
Welcome and sound check 5 min

-
The fort's approach 15 min
The camera climbs the steps up to Fort Lovrijenac, a clifftop fortress outside the main walls, and I explain why it was built standing apart from them.
-
The upper terrace 15 min
From the top terrace, I show the drop to the sea below and point out where the fort has been used as a filming location.
-
Your questions 7 min
Time to ask anything about Dubrovnik: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.
-
A short list to keep 3 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Peka-cooked dishes 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 9 people, so there is room for everyone to ask something.
