A lovely (can be challenging) walk up the hillside to get to the lovely fortress (also available to drive and park) - but I would recommend walking in the morning when the sun isn't at its hottest. The breathtaking views are certainly worth the €10ea entrance fee. We were also pleasantly surprised by the café being within the fortress, selling affordable typical café products (we're used to having to pay extortionate prices for café in public attractions in the UK so we were encouraged to see that not all attractions around the world are the same). They have free toilets available here too. Take the fortress at your own pace, enjoy the light breeze and shady spots throughout, and the various angles of the spectacular views of Hvar's port which can only really be appreciated from this height. The majority of the fortress is stair based so this would not be suitable for those who struggle with stairs. If there was more of an interactive experience and a few extra signs at the top of the fortress to see what you're looking out on would make it 5* in our opinion. Overall a very pleasant adventure, it felt good to explore some history of Hvar.

Pretty amazing views and a really nice, if steep walk from town through an aromatic, free garden. The fortifications themselves aren't super well maintained and there have been a number of modern renovations over the years, so it's not that well preserved. Happy to pay 70 Kuna (about ten euros/dollars) for entry, and there's both a little cafe and toilet in there, but otherwise there's little done to make the experience informative. There are also two, nice, free telescopes to look over the bay. Basically, you get to walk around a huge, abandoned fort with great views of the town. I'd love for them to invest in an audio tour, some info signs, etc. One unexpected bonus is a display of ancient shipwreck finds, entirely unconnected to the fort. The display is rudimentary, showcasing pottery, but there's lots of info about them posted.

This is a must see attraction! Walk to the top of the fortress above city of Hvar is experience for it self. You walk in nature park with amazing plants and you get to see city of Hvar from another perspective. When you reach top there is an entrence fee to fortress Fortica and you can walk on towers, see prision, see castle from inside. There is a bar on top and you can have refreshments. Pro tips; bring a lot of water for a hike from bottom to top, dont go via car, you have to walk to experience this attraction. You have to go in prision to check that "hole" ... so sick! Anyways, this is a must see if you are in City if Hvar and you cant skip this attraction. I wish you pleasent stay and once again bring a lot of water with you on your way to the top!

The entry costs 70KN for 1 adult. There isn’t any combo-ticket with the other historical places in Hvar to visit. No explanation about the different places in the fortress (except the prison indicated “prison”). At the entrance you get a flyer with a few information about the fortress. It is written that there is a wifi connection, but there isn’t any. Furthermore, everywhere are QR-Codes, but you only get to the homepage of the fortress… So you just walk around not knowing what you are visiting. It is dirty and the screens are not working. I don’t see any advantage for this visit. I give a star to the breakfast deal that you can get inside at the restaurant (35 kn for 1 croissant, 1 coffee and 1 orange juice).
