Stradun and Old Town walk

What to expect

Stradun, also called Placa, is the Old Town’s broad central promenade between Pile Gate and Luža. Dubrovnik’s Tourist Board describes it as the city’s main open-air public space, used for everyday walks, gatherings and processions. At the western end, look for the Large Onofrio Fountain; at the eastern end, Luža and the bell tower open toward the Old Port. The street itself is a free visit, while nearby museums, church interiors, shops and the walk on top of the city walls have separate access rules or charges. This is a living residential centre as well as a landmark, so follow event notices and keep doorways and service routes clear.
