Experience the 'Pearl of the Adriatic' like never before.
▶ Listen to a tourLooking at “Old Town (Stari Grad)” and not sure what you're seeing? Just ask out loud. The guide answers about exactly what's in front of you — and you can interrupt it mid-sentence, like a real person.
Your first conversation doesn't use minutes.
Start the guide and invite your people — up to six of you together. Nobody crowds around the guide or has to ask what was just said: everyone hears equally well, each through their own earphones and their own phone. Everyone can listen and talk to the same live guide.
Minutes are used only by the person who started the guide and created the group.
Turn on location and the guide shows what’s worth seeing around you, on a map. Tap a place right on the map and the story starts about that very spot. Recorded tours have the map too, so you always see what’s being described.
Record 20–40 seconds of speech — Destino will create a copy of your voice. Share it with loved ones or ask them to record their voice for you. Your voice narrates not only bedtime tales but recorded city tours too — and you can share them with a link.
Creating a voice and a short preview don't use your balance.
Dubrovnik, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a stunning walled city located on the Adriatic Sea in southern Croatia. Known as the 'Pearl of the Adriatic,' it boasts a rich history as a maritime trade hub and is celebrated for its beautiful architecture and vibrant culture.
Dubrovnik is a walled city on a rock, and almost everything worth seeing is inside the walls or visible from them. The old town is car-free and small enough to cross in ten minutes; the beaches, the cable car and the ferry to Lokrum are all at its edges.
The two-kilometre walk along the top of the walls is the one thing not to skip. Enter at Pile Gate and go anticlockwise: the Minčeta tower on the high northern corner, the sea walls above the rocks, the fort of St. John by the old harbour. Go early or late — the walls are open stone with no shade. Fort Lovrijenac, the separate fortress on the cliff west of Pile, is included in the same ticket.
The Stradun, or Placa, is the polished limestone main street from Pile to the harbour. At the Pile end, Onofrio's big fountain and the Franciscan monastery with its cloister and the pharmacy that has worked since 1317. At the harbour end, Orlando's column, the Sponza palace, the clock tower, the Church of St. Blaise, and behind it the Rector's Palace — the seat of the Republic's government — and the cathedral with its treasury. Wander the stepped side streets north of the Stradun for the quieter town.
The cable car from just outside the northern walls climbs Mount Srđ in four minutes; the view takes in the whole old town, Lokrum and the Elaphiti islands. At the top, the Napoleonic fort houses a small museum of the 1991 siege. Below the walls, Banje beach is the closest swim, and Buža bar, through a hole in the sea wall, is the place for a drink on the rocks.
With Destino you walk Dubrovnik at your own pace: the guide talks about what's in front of you, and you can interrupt and ask at any moment — in English, right in your browser.
The guide talks about Dubrovnik in English — the text and the voice. You can ask questions in English too, by voice, in the middle of the tour. The same in all 39 cities where Destino works: the guide speaks English with you rather than translating from the local language.
If someone with you prefers another language: the interface comes in eight, and narration, the live guide and tales speak twenty-two — Polish, Turkish, Dutch, Czech, Japanese and more. You choose the narration language separately from the interface language.
