Sibenik Private Walking Tour

Welcome to Šibenik, a city where history, culture, and natural beauty come together to create an unforgettable experience. Join us on a guided walk in Šibenik, led by a passionate local guide, and explore this enchanting coastal gem in the heart of Croatia. Our journey begins on the scenic embankment and leads us through gardens, lively squares, and hidden alleyways, ending at the stunning St. James’s Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

🌊 The Embankment (Riva)

Our Šibenik walking tour begins at the city’s picturesque embankment, known locally as the Riva. This beautiful seaside promenade stretches along the shimmering Adriatic Sea, offering breathtaking views of the old town’s stone buildings. As we walk along the waterfront, you’ll feel the rhythm of Šibenik — peaceful, coastal, and full of charm. The sound of waves, the scent of salt in the air, and the sight of boats gently rocking in the harbor create a perfect introduction to the city’s spirit. It’s the ideal place to slow down, take in the view, and begin your journey through one of Croatia’s most authentic coastal towns.

🌿 Mediterranean Park – Perivoj Roberta Visianija

Just a short stroll from the Riva lies the peaceful Mediterranean Park, also called Perivoj Roberta Visianija. This green oasis is filled with fragrant flowers, native plants, and shady trees — a favorite spot for both locals and visitors. The park is named after Croatian botanist Roberto de Visiani, and it features a monument to King Petar Krešimir IV. Did you know that Šibenik is often called “Krešimir’s Town”? That’s because the city was first mentioned in a document written by the King himself on Christmas Day, 1066.

🏛️ Poljana Square

Our guided tour in Šibenik continues to Poljana Square, one of the city’s most important and symbolic public spaces. This square showcases the harmony between Šibenik’s past and present. Here you’ll find the City Library, an architectural gem that combines both modern and historical styles — a unique fusion that reflects the city’s deep roots and forward-thinking spirit. The square is also home to one of the oldest theatres in Croatia, standing proudly as a testament to Šibenik’s rich cultural heritage. A modern highlight is the water clock, an artistic installation where water gently flows to form the hands of a clock — a poetic tribute to the passage of time in this timeless city.

🏘️ The Narrow Streets of the Old Town

We then wander through the winding cobblestone alleys of Šibenik’s Old Town. These narrow streets are full of charm — stone houses, hidden courtyards, local artisans, and stories waiting to be discovered. It’s like walking through a living museum, where every corner reveals a piece of the past.

⛪ St. James’s Cathedral

Our final stop is the crown jewel of the city: St. James’s Cathedral, a masterpiece of Renaissance architecture and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Built entirely from stone without the use of mortar, this incredible structure is adorned with over 70 carved faces — believed to depict real citizens of Šibenik from the 15th century.
As your local guide in Šibenik, I’ll share the fascinating history, symbolism, and secrets of this unique cathedral.

Please note: Entry to the Cathedral is not included in the tour price.
