Dubrovnik In-A-Day
Ambling round the Old Town
Despite its small size, Dubrovnik’s Old Town is packed with fascinating detail. Here are a few ideas on how to get the best out of it in 24 hours.
Morning
Walking Dubrovnik City Walls is essential if you want to experience the full splendour of the Old Town, and it’s best to do this early before it gets too crowded.
Follow a full circuit of the walls with a leisurely stroll along the Stradun, Dubrovnik’s main street, before taking a peek at the art and history displays inside The Rector's Palace.
Lunch
The terrace of the Gradska Kavana, Dubrovnik is the ideal place to watch the world go by as you enjoy light lunch and coffee.
Afternoon
Give Dubrovnik Cathedral an admiring glance before diving into the alleys of the mysterious Pustijerna quarter. Feast your eyes on the art collection at The Dominican Monastery before exiting the Old Town through its eastern gate, and contemplating a bit of souvenir shopping at premier designer store Life According to Kawa.
