Things to do

6
  1. Hvar Arsenal and Theatre

    Hvar Arsenal and Theatre

    Landmark · 30 min

    A 30-minute stop that anchors the town's history; check whether the theatre floor is open, as it has closed for restoration in past seasons.

  2. Fortica Fortress

    Landmark · 1 hr

    Walk up through the stepped lanes in the late afternoon and stay for sunset over the Pakleni Islands; the climb takes about 20 minutes.

  3. Franciscan Monastery

    Museum · 30 min

    The ten-minute waterfront walk and the cypress-shaded cloister justify the ticket even without an interest in the paintings.

  4. Pakleni Islands

    Island · 4 hr

    Take a morning taxi boat from the Riva, pick one island rather than three, and confirm the last return time before leaving.

  5. St. Stephen's Cathedral

    Cathedral · 30 min

    Free and quick; the treasury is ticketed separately and earns the stop only for religious art.

  6. St. Stephen's Square

    Landmark · 30 min

    Cross it early morning before the cruise tenders land, when the stone is empty and the light is good.
