90 min · 1.9 km · moderate
Dubrovnik has 3 self-guided audio walking tours on Roamer, covering history. Every tour is free to start: the introduction and first stop play in full, and every later stop plays a short preview before you pay. The routes run from about 75 to 160 minutes and 0.9 to 3 km on foot, at your own pace with GPS-triggered narration.
The walled city on the Adriatic, the old Republic of Ragusa, a merchant city-state that stayed free for centuries by law, trade, and diplomacy. Walk the unbroken ring of the city walls, read the whole republic along the marble Stradun, and go beyond the gates to the sea, the quarantine houses, and Mount Srd above. A small, dense old town made for walking, at your own pace.

Bokar and Lovrijenac: freedom over the gate
- Old Town: Inside Dubrovnik's Walls: An easy walk through Dubrovnik's walled Old Town, from the Pile Gate and the Stradun to Luža Square, the Old Port, the Rector's Palace and the Jesuit Stairs, and the story of how a small merchant republic kept its freedom for four and a half centuries.
- City Walls: The Unbroken Ring: Walk the top of Dubrovnik's medieval walls and read the whole survival strategy of a small merchant republic that stayed free by being both unbreakable and clever. This ring of stone protected a city-state that had almost no army of its own, only law, diplomacy, tribute, and these ramparts.
- Old Port and Mount Srd: Beyond the Walls: The postcard is the wall, but the real Dubrovnik lived by the sea and healed on the mountain above. Meet the working harbour, the global merchant fleet, the quarantine that changed public health, and the fort that watched over the city in living memory.
