Dubrovnik Panorama Half day tour

On a half-day road trip, starting at the Old City, we will take you to places where you will experience Dubrovnik in all its beaty and unigueness.

Built in 2002, the Dr.Franjo Tuđman bridge, named after Croatia’s first president, is an architectural attraction. Located on the western entrance of Dubrovnik, the bridge is 294 metres long, and is in harmony with Gruž harbour, Lapad peninsula and the many islands strung around Dubrovnik like so many pearls. From the belvedere of the bridge, it is one of the most beautiful sights in the Dubrovnik area.

From the bridge we take the road to the spring of the Ombla river, a river that means life for the city. According to some researches, the Ombla river was formed out of the spring and is considered to be the shortest river in the world.Since the time of the Dubrovnik Republic, the Ombla has been the main water supply for the city. During the 15th century the famous builder, Paskoje Miličević built a dam and several mills, where even today one can still fell the real and magnificent power of the rushing water.

Our next location – SRĐ hill above the city, vibrates with exciting expectations and offers one of the most fascinating views of Dubrovnik. From this view one can see why Dubrovnik is often honored as one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
