  • Meet your guide at the iconic Large Onofrio’s Fountain, one of Dubrovnik’s most recognisable landmarks and the historic entrance to the Old Town. Built in the 15th century as part of Dubrovnik’s advanced water supply system, the fountain symbolised the Republic’s engineering achievements and public infrastructure. This meeting point sets the stage for your journey through centuries of cultural exchange, trade, and coexistence within the city walls.
  • Brsalje Street
    Stop at the historic Jewish Fountain, also known as the “Kosher Fountain,” an important gathering place for Dubrovnik’s Jewish community. Located just outside the Old Town walls, this fountain served both practical and symbolic roles, reflecting the daily life and movement of Jewish residents and merchants entering the city. Here, your guide will introduce the early history of Jewish presence in Dubrovnik.
  • Pass by the Church of St. Salvation, a Renaissance monument built in gratitude after the city survived a devastating earthquake. While brief, this stop provides context about Dubrovnik’s resilience and the environment in which minority communities, including the Jewish population, lived and traded. (pass by)
  • The Franciscan Church and Monastery
    View one of Dubrovnik’s oldest monastic complexes, home to a historic pharmacy dating back to 1317. This site reflects the intellectual, medical, and charitable networks that shaped life in the Republic, offering insight into coexistence between religious communities.
  • Stradun
    Walk along Stradun, Dubrovnik’s limestone-paved main street and the social heart of the Old Town. For centuries, this was the centre of commerce, diplomacy, and public ceremonies, a place where Jewish merchants, traders, and citizens interacted within Dubrovnik’s structured society.
  • Luza Square
    Explore Luža Square, Dubrovnik’s civic and ceremonial centre, surrounded by key institutions of the Republic of Ragusa. Here you’ll see the Clock Tower, Sponza Palace, and historic gathering spaces that shaped political and economic life.
  • Rector's Palace
    Discover the seat of government of the Republic of Ragusa and learn about its diplomatic sophistication and legal structures. Stories here often intersect with minority rights, trade privileges, and the regulated presence of Jewish residents.
  • Gunduliceva Poljana Market
    Experience the lively marketplace that has operated for centuries. This square illustrates daily life, trade exchange, and the economic environment in which Jewish merchants operated.
  • City Harbor
    Dubrovnik’s City Harbor, located on the eastern side of the Old Town, has been a vital maritime hub since medieval times. Surrounded by historic fortifications, including St. John’s Fortress, it offers stunning views of the Adriatic Sea. Today, the harbor is a bustling spot with boats, ferries, and tours to nearby islands like Lokrum. It blends history and modern charm, serving as a gateway for exploration and relaxation.
  • Walk through Žudioska Street, the historic heart of Dubrovnik’s Jewish Quarter, where the Sephardic community settled after arriving from Spain and Portugal. This narrow stone street once housed Jewish families, businesses, and communal life within the Republic of Ragusa. Your guide will share stories of tradition, resilience, and cultural preservation.
  • Dubrovnik Synagogue
    Visit one of the oldest Sephardic synagogues in Europe, still active today. Located at the end of Žudioska Street, the synagogue stands as a testament to centuries of Jewish continuity in Dubrovnik. Guests have the opportunity to enter the interior and museum collection (entrance fee paid separately on the spot).
