Overview

If you look beyond Hvar’s harbour, you’ll see a fortress that saved Hvar and later exploded above the town. You’ll find a giant stone fingerprint pointed to a murder case far across the Atlantic. This self-guided walking tour of Hvar through the Tourific app connects the waterfront with such stories you might otherwise walk past.
On this walk, you will follow a harbour shaped by Venice, a theatre built above a shipyard, and a fortress whose greatest danger came after an enemy attack. At a small church, separate the record of a rebellion from the legend of a weeping crucifix.
This Hvar audio tour covers roughly 2 km in about 2.5 hours, with an optional fortress visit near the end. Download for offline use, start when you choose, and pause or resume whenever you like. Attraction entry fees are extra.
For independent travelers who want stories behind the waterfront and time to linger. Over 30,000 travelers have used your self-guided tours. The tour comes with a full refund guarantee.
