Overview

Haunted Dubrovnik decided to offer another treat for our guests who crave to hear many dark stories of the old town. This walking tour takes you through the dark history of this city, so you can expect to hear many stories about the nightlife in old times, its dance macabre, ghostly apparitions, forbidden love affairs, old beliefs in supernatural, cats and evil spirits, prison escapes and tortures and many other stories and tales that will intrigue your imagination.

​

Learn about the infectious pestilence that visited Dubrovnik often in old times, hear the story of Dubrovnik's Romeo and Juliet, discover who were Dubrovnik's negromants, learn about noble families and some of their tragic destinies and explore old Pustijerna district which translates as the empty land.

Let's explore the narrow, dark, back streets lit by evening lanterns. Hopefully, you will be enchanted by the magic and glamour that Dubrovnik radiates in the night.
