Why Stradun matters

Stradun is the spine of Dubrovnik: one long, gleaming limestone street with stone houses on both sides. In the evening, locals take their traditional stroll here and the stone glows under the lamps. Side streets climb steeply off it, packed with small restaurants. Walk it twice, once in the morning, once at night.

Talking points

  • It is paved with smooth, light-coloured limestone.
  • Steep side lanes lead off both sides.
  • Evening is the traditional time for a stroll.
