About this tour
This session walks St Stephen's Square, from the cathedral's Renaissance bell tower down toward the harbour at the far end. You see the mix of building periods on the cathedral's facade and then the full length of the square, one of the largest in Dalmatia. It gives a clear sense of how Hvar's old town is built around this single open space.
We start at the cathedral with a sound check, then walk the square's length for the second stop, taking questions about the buildings along the way. A short note follows once the session ends.
It suits a first stop for anyone new to Hvar's old town. It also works well as a short introduction before a longer historical or coastal 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

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 Velo Grablje, worth a slower look.
