A Quick Guide to Dubrovnik, Croatia, Dubrovnik, Croatia

Dubrovnik is a beautiful port city located in Croatia. The Old Town of the city is part of the UNESCO World Heritage List and has some beautiful sights. However, not only Old Town is a must visit when traveling to Dubrovnik; the city has much more to offer! In this article I’ll tell you more about the highlights of Dubrovnik.

Stradun is the main street of Old Town Dubrovnik and a photogenic place (actually all of Old Town Dubrovnik is photogenic…). It’s a large street which starts at Pile Gate, one of the entrances of Old Town, and which ends at the Old Town’s port. Stradun is closed to traffic, which makes it nice to walk around. You cannot find any (international) shops, like H&M, Zara etc., but you can find here many restaurants/cafes and souvenir shops. Stradun is the starting point for exploring more of Old Town.
