The experience

The tour starts with pickup at your agreed location and heads straight into Šibenik's streets on an eco-friendly tuk tuk. Your first stop is the Dražen Petrović Monument and playground, where the driver shares the story of Croatia's most famous basketball player and his ties to the city. From there, the route climbs to the three fortresses that ring the old town, each one built during the Cretan War in the 1640s to defend against Ottoman attacks.

Barone Fortress sits on Vidakuša hill and reopened in 2016 with augmented reality tours through Šibenik's past. St. John's Fortress stands north of the historic center and takes its local name, Tanaja, from a plier-shaped outwork in its design. St. Michael's Fortress crowns the steepest hill above the old town and now hosts an open-air summer stage that has become central to the city's cultural calendar. All three entrances are included in the tour price. The final stops are the Cathedral of St. James (a UNESCO World Heritage site built entirely of stone over more than a hundred years), and the riva, the waterfront social hub where locals gather to meet, walk, and watch everyday life unfold.
