The Dubrovnik Tourist Board is set to enchant visitors during the winter months

City, right in front of the Church of St. Blaise.

Embark on a journey through Dubrovnik's history during the specially themed city
tours, commencing at 9:30 am in English and at 12:30 pm in Croatian, every
Saturday from November 4th. Led by expert guides Lidija Begić and Vesna
Barišić, the tours commence in front of the Tourist Information Centre on Pile,
just outside the Old City.

Following the insightful city tour, visitors will have the opportunity to witness the
enchanting performance by the Linđo Folklore Ensemble at 11:30 am in front of
the Church of St. Blaise. Please note that these performances are
weather-dependent.

Novembers' theme, "Cosmopolitan Dubrovnik," delves into the development of major
European religions and the religious groups that have shaped Dubrovnik over the
centuries. Discover the city's rich history of religious tolerance,
coexistence, and acceptance, exemplified by its compact historical town
covering only 1.06 hectares.

As the Dubrovnik Winter Festival unfolds from December 2, 2023, to January 6,
2024, the city tours will shift focus to "Dubrovnik Carols." Running
on Saturdays at the same time slots, these tours will explore the traditions of
carolling in the Dubrovnik region, a practice dating back over 800 years.
Following the storytelling, the Linđo Folklore ensemble will perform carol
songs and traditional dances in front of the Church of St. Blaise.

In January, February, and March 2024, the Winter Saturday Morning program will
continue its enchantment with rotating themed city tours, including topics such
as "St. Blaise - in Honour of a Patron," "In the Footsteps of
Love from Ancient Times," and "The Scent of a Woman." Specific
tour dates will be announced on the Dubrovnik Tourist Board's Facebook profile.
