At the core of this sprawling cityscape is the palace the Emperor Diocletian built for his golden years at the turn of the fourth century.
Today’s lunch will be the traditional Dalmatian dish – Pasticada which we will taste at the Tragos restaurant in Trogir or similar. The town of Trogir, a UNESCO site, has a fascinating 2300 years of continuous urban tradition. Its rich culture was created under the influence of old Greeks, Romans, and Venetians.

Completed in the thirteen century, the old city Dubrovnik has remained basically unchanged since. Its medieval ramparts encircle the city which pedestrians can enter through one of two gates – either way, they cross a stone bridge under the watchful gaze of the city’s patron Saint Blaise, to find themselves joining the evening promenade down the broad, stone-paved avenue known as Stradun. After the sightseeing we will have free time to explore the city on your own.
