The most notable place in Dubrovnik. During the summer season, it can be overcrowded. But it remains lively even in winter. Restaurants and cafes along Stradun provide views of the charming historical streets. Highly recommended.

Beautiful! Walking down Stradun feels like stepping back in time. The medieval streets are fantastic, and there are phenomenal restaurants and great spots for people watching. This is a must-see place in Dubrovnik! Don’t skip it!

A gorgeous walk with pristine tiles on the ground. Many shops along this route offer everything from Game of Thrones memorabilia to rubber ducks. This walk is the heart of the main city and leads to a large fountain with fresh drinking water. Lovely experience, 10/10.
