Things to do
6-
Hvar Arsenal and Theatre
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.
-
Fortica Fortress
Walk up through the stepped lanes in the late afternoon and stay for sunset over the Pakleni Islands; the climb takes about 20 minutes.
-
Franciscan Monastery
The ten-minute waterfront walk and the cypress-shaded cloister justify the ticket even without an interest in the paintings.
-
Pakleni Islands
Take a morning taxi boat from the Riva, pick one island rather than three, and confirm the last return time before leaving.
-
St. Stephen's Cathedral
Free and quick; the treasury is ticketed separately and earns the stop only for religious art.
-
St. Stephen's Square
Cross it early morning before the cruise tenders land, when the stone is empty and the light is good.
