About this experience

On our Private Lopud Walking Tour we will discover the exciting history of an island that used to have ten times more inhabitants than today, its own shipyard, many rich residents and aristocrats living in stone mansions with glamorous parks and private chapels, and much more.

We will go to historic sites dating from the Middle Ages all the way to the late 20th century. Moreover, you’ll find out little secrets and curiosities, such as how Lopud born ship-owner Miho Pracat is the only person in Dubrovnik history who got his statue exhibited in Dubrovnik’s Rector Palace.

If you’re a romantic soul, don’t miss out on the most tragic Lopud love story of a peasant girl Marija and her forbidden love — noble Ivan. And let’s not forget the stunningly beautiful Lopud’s nature, crystal clear sea, and golden sandy beaches.
