Come join us as we visit Hvar, Croatia in this travel guide covering 10 things to do in Hvar including top attractions and food experiences. The city of Hvar (Grad Hvar - Lesina) is located on Hvar Island and is easy to reach via Split. Visiting in the off-season meant many businesses were starting to close; however, we had many moments wandering around where we felt like we had Hvar to ourselves. Aside from some rainy days we made the most of our sunny days in Hvar exploring as much as we could by foot.

10 Things to do in Hvar, Croatia Travel Guide Video Transcript:

We have finally made it to one of my dream destinations. We're in Hvar, Croatia so and oh my it is beautiful. Today we have blue skies so we're just going to run around like crazy to show you guys Hvar.

As you probably already know, we never start sightseeing without a good meal, so the first item on our list was to find some breakfast. This proved to be a little tricky considering we were visiting during low season, but after a few false starts we settled down at BB Club for shakshuka, omelettes, nutella crepes and cappuccinos.

With bellies full, we were ready explore and our eyes were set on the fortress, which is the focal point when you gaze up from the Old Town.

Reaching the fortress means walking straight uphill, but there are a few scenic stops along the way, including a beautiful park, a seemingly abandoned church, and plenty of lookouts where you can admire the town and the harbour.

After visiting the fort, we came back to the Old Town and decided to go on a little walk along the waterfront. We hadn’t packed any bathing suits and it was too late in the season to go for a swim, but Audrey was set on testing out the turquoise waters.

Continuing our wander through Hvar Town without a particular place or direction in mind, we then came across a medieval Venetian bell tower that we had noticed peeking through the buildings. The bell tower is part of the Ruins of the Dominican Monastery and St. Mark's Church, and while the structure is closed off, it’s still a cool landmark to visit.

We went to KOGO which is located in the main square just footsteps from St. Stephen’s Cathedral. They specialize in pizzas and pastas, and everything was so tasty!

Lastly, to finish up our 1-day tour of Hvar Town, we walked back to the marina, this time heading left in the direction of the Franciscan Monastery, where we were treated to a magical sunset complete with live music.
