Things to do in Croatia

  1. A

    Aquarius

    A truly fab place to party, this enormously popular spot has a series of rooms that open onto a huge terrace on the lake. House and techno are the standard fare here.

  2. B

    Club Palach

    In the back alley, accessible through a small passageway off Jadranski trg, this old stand-by caters to students who find it a good, low-key place to drink and dance.

  3. C

    Puls 2

    Hip and sleek, this bar pulsates on summer nights, to the discomfort of guests in the nearby Hotel Slavija. Friday night there's live music and Saturday is disco night.

  4. D

    Nono

    You can tell that Nono serves the best pizzas in town because it's always crowded. With their soft, puffy crust and fresh toppings, these pizzas are actually memorable.

    Ri

    It's short on ambience, but this self-service restaurant is fast and offers good value for money. Dishes change daily and could be anything from fried fish to pork chops.

  7. G

    Loggia

    The 16th-century loggia is in front of the Hotel Palace. In front of it is an 18th-century column Štandarac, from which governmental decisions used to be announced.

    Ivica I Marica

    Not exactly veggie, but with a good range of veggie and fish dishes plus meatier fare, this stylish restaurant also serves mouthwatering pastries in its adjoining café.

    Saloon

    This fashionable watering hole tries to attract a slightly older crowd by devoting at least one night a week to classic rock. Other nights, the emphasis is on Croatian techno.

  14. L

    Restaurant Domino

    Head here for a meat fix. The restaurant offers a good selection of cow cuttings, but the other items don't offer the best value for money. It's often filled with large groups.

  15. M

    Supermarket

    There's a supermarket that keeps long hours, and around the vegetable market you'll find a number of stands selling burek (heavy pastries stuffed with meat or cheese).

    Galeb

    You'll pay mostly for location here - the seafront terrace is a great place to linger and people-watch. The food is unimaginative but decent; expect standard mainstays and pizzas.

    Agava

    Smart casual is the style here both in the décor and the food, which runs from grilled fish to hearty pastas and pizzas. The outdoor terrace makes summer dining here a delight.

    Blidinje

    A locals’ local that’s perfect for a meat feast. Call first and order lamb or veal slow-cooked under hot coals, then turn up in a couple of hours and it’ll be cooked to perfection.

    Gundulićeva Poljana

    A bustling morning market. The monument in the centre is of Dubrovnik's famous poet, Ivan Gundulić. The reliefs on the pedestal depict scenes from his epic poem, Osman.
