Things to do in Hvar.
The harbour is the introduction. The islands are the story.
Hvar Town makes its point quickly: stone, sunlight and a harbour full of promises. Choose the pace before you choose the boat.
How much time do you have?
Make the day fit the clock.
Start with the time you really have. The destination gets easier after that.
ONE DAY
Leave room for the sea.
Give Hvar Town the first hour or two, then choose one sea plan. One good move beats three rushed ones.
STAY THE NIGHT
Stay after the rush.
Stay near the waterfront for early departures and an easy first walk. Choose a quieter neighbourhood when you want the destination after the day-trippers leave.
Worth the Detour
A public theatre was built above a galley shipyard.
We take you close. You find the detail. Find it and unlock the story.
IF YOU HAVE 3 HOURS
See the island beyond the harbour.
An electric tuk-tuk gets you out to Malo Grablje, Velo Grablje, lavender country and the viewpoints without spending the whole day on the road.

Hvar harbour → St Stephen’s Square → Fortica
The harbour makes Hvar look flat. It is not. Walk through the square and climb until the red roofs, Pakleni Islands and ferry wake finally sit in the same frame.
