The Stradun is the magnificent main street of Dubrovnik, a broad, gleaming limestone thoroughfare running the length of the old town between the two great gates, polished smooth by centuries of footsteps. Lined with handsome stone buildings, shops, cafes and historic landmarks, it is the beating heart of the walled city and the natural place to shop, stroll and people-watch. From boutiques and jewellers selling Croatian coral and design to souvenir shops and cafes, it offers browsing amid some of the most beautiful urban scenery in the Mediterranean.
