Spanish Fortress & Stari Grad —
Private Cultural Tour
Your day begins with a guided walk through the historic streets of Hvar Old Town. Discover the town's most recognisable landmarks — the elegant City Loggia and Clock Tower, the historic Arsenal buildingwith Europe's oldest public theatre, and the lively St. Stephen's Square with its impressive cathedral.
Wander through narrow stone streets and the sunlit marina while your guide shares stories about Hvar's maritime past, local traditions and everyday island life. A stop at the Benedictine Conventreveals one of Hvar's most unique traditions — delicate agave lace handcrafted by Benedictine nuns and recognised on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage List.
The tour continues uphill to the Spanish Fortress (Fortica) — a historic stronghold built in the late 13th century. The fortress offers one of the most beautiful panoramic views on the island, stretching across Hvar Town, the Pakleni Islands and the open Adriatic.
Leaving the busy harbour behind, enjoy a scenic drive to Stari Grad — one of the oldest towns in Croatia. During a guided walk through charming streets and peaceful squares, discover layers of history. A highlight is Tvrdalj Castle, the Renaissance residence of poet Petar Hektorović. After the guided tour, enjoy free time to explore Stari Grad at your own pace before the comfortable drive back to Hvar Town.

“As someone who loves exploring every destination in depth, Tonci's tour was truly exceptional. His passion, knowledge, and kindness made our trip to Hvar unforgettable. We visited Hvar Town, drove along scenic inland roads with stops at breathtaking viewpoints and historic lavender fields, and explored several charming locations. Malo Grablje was our favourite — an abandoned village where Tonci brought its rich history to life. The tour ended with dinner at a small family-run tavern where we tried peka for the first time.”
