The best things to do in Hvar



If you travel in summer, the beaches and coves of the city and its surroundings are some of the most unmissable places to visit in Hvar. With clear water and rocky shores, you can find the most popular beaches around Stari Grad, 15 kilometers north of the city. For the more daring tourist wondering what to do in Hvar, be aware that a feature of the beaches on the island is that nudism is permitted!

But there are more things to do in Hvar beyond the beaches. Its strategic location has seen Greeks, Romans, Italians, Austrians and French living here at different times, and all of these civilisations and countries are represented in its architecture. Start your tour of stuff to do in Hvar's city center by walking through the streets of the medieval town. Here you'll find some of the most beautiful attractions in Hvar, beautiful Gothic and Renaissance buildings such as St. Stephen's Cathedral, the Baroque Theatre, and the Franciscan Convent.

Other unmissable Hvar attractions include Fort Napoleon, the highest point of the city; it hosts an astronomical observatory point. For some fun Hvar activities, many tourists recommend excursions to the neighboring Pakleni Islands, which are sometimes known as the Islands of Hell for their rugged coastline that has proved treacherous to large ships throughout history.

Other interesting things to see in Hvar can be found in the small town of Jelsa. Located 12 kilometers from the city, it is famous for its red wines. Use minube services and discover more things to visit in Hvar, the pearl of the Adriatic.
