What to expect

The tour begins with a visit to the Red History Museum, an institution dedicated to the history of Yugoslavia and the communist era that led to the Croatian War of Independence. The exhibits delve into the complex political and social climate preceding the war, offering an insight on how the breakup of Yugoslavia occurred. This experience will deepen your understanding of the historical forces, the surge of nationalism, and the eventual march towards war.

Following this, the tour proceeds to Mount Srđ, where you'll visit the Homeland War Museum located within Fort Imperial. This focuses on Dubrovnik’s experiences during the Croatian War of Independence, with a particular emphasis on the Siege of Dubrovnik from 1991-1992. It presents a moving and personal perspective of the war, highlighting both civilian and military struggles. From atop Srđ hill, Fort Imperial also offers panoramic views of Dubrovnik, creating a reflective experience as you gaze upon the city that endured relentless bombardment.

The trip continues along the coast to Kupari, where a series of dilapidated hotels stand abandoned since the war. These former tourist resorts bear the scars of heavy damage inflicted during the conflict, their ruins serving as stark reminders of the devastation that swept through the region. Your guide will share the history of these hotels' destruction and how Kupari became a strategic location during the war.
