Museum of Croatian War of Independence (Homeland War Museum) Tours and Tickets

Explore the area outside of Dubrovnik in a fun and exciting buggy on this 3-hour tour. First, ride to the top of Mt Srđ and stop to gawk at the incredible views of Dubrovnik’s UNESCO-World-Heritage listed Old Town and the blue Adriatic Sea. Then, with your guide, climb into the four-seater buggy and get ready for an action-packed ride through the countryside. Cruise through coniferous forests and past bucolic villages. Then go back to the top of Mt. Srđ for the cable car ride back down to Old Town again.

In October 1991, Dubrovnik was attacked by the Yugoslav People's Army, along with Serbian and Montenegrin paramilitaries who turned the region into a war zone for the next 9 month. Without any own army units on site, the people of Dubrovnik had to defend their city themselves against an overpowering aggressor. Back then, nineteen-year-old Robert experienced the attack as a front-line soldier. Today, three decades later, he takes you on an experience to tell you about the war from the perspective of an eyewitness. The tour includes a visit to Mount Srd which marked the last line of defence in 1992 but today it's Dubrovnik's most popular and scenic panorama spot offering impressive views. You'll also visit the Homeland War Museum, where you'll the see your tour guide on various pictures from that time. Even if this war happened more than 30 years ago, with what is currently happening in Europe and other parts of the world, this tour is more relevant today than ever.

Accompanied by local tour guide and history professor, you'll visit 2 modern history museums, ride to the top of the Mount Srđ and dive into the events that we still feel and see today. The first stop is the Red History Museum (no. 1 museum in Croatia according to TripAdvisor). Its interactive and creative exhibition was founded by a team of young local designers, historians, journalists, photographers, and archeologists, and was supported by people all over Croatia who donated various items, photographs, and even their own life stories from this period. After a panoramic ride, you'll get to the top of Mount Srđ, which offers the best view of the city. On this strategic location, which was protected by defenders of Dubrovnik during the war in the early 1990s, you’ll hear more stories from those turbulent times in Homeland War Museum, located in the old Fort Imperial on top of the hill. After some photo time, the tour ends with a return drive back to the city.
