About This Activity

The Stradun (Placa) is Dubrovnik's grand thoroughfare — a 300m marble-paved promenade running the length of the Old Town from Pile Gate to the Clock Tower, worn luminous from centuries of foot traffic. Flanking lanes ascend to the north and south walls, lined with churches, galleries, and restaurants. Key stops include the 1438 Onofrio Fountain, the Dominican Monastery with its outstanding Gothic cloister and art collection, and the 14th-century Franciscan Pharmacy — one of Europe's oldest still-functioning pharmacies. Arrive early morning for the Stradun nearly to yourself, glowing in low light.
