Walking tour of Hvar

Pickup by our guide holding the Shore2Shore sign at the port of Hvar.

Today we will discover the relaxed life of the island and its beautiful architecture: from the Renaissance cathedral, the 16th-century city well, the Arsenal with its striking portal, and the city pier, where sailboats and fishing boats sway with the evening breeze.

We will head towards the Cathedral and its elegant 17th-century bell tower. It is one of the three bell towers rising above the numerous rooftops to mark the source of much of Hvar’s magic: the sun and the endless blue skies.

Next, the guide will lead us to the main square to visit the Cathedral of St. Stephen, its treasury, and its bell tower with its distinctive mark of Venetian rule.

The next stop on our route is the Arsenal, an imposing building constructed in 1611. Inside, we will find the oldest community theater in Europe, founded in 1612.

Through narrow streets, we will head to the 15th-century Franciscan monastery, where we will visit the impressive Renaissance cloister, the old refectory which today houses a collection of lace, manuscripts, and books, and the church with its remarkable collection of paintings.

We will return to the port for the farewell or we can continue strolling through the city on our own.
