Old Town (Stari Grad)

$$$

The iconic UNESCO World Heritage heart of Dubrovnik, encircled by medieval walls. Limestone streets, baroque buildings, and the famous Stradun promenade define this area. While expensive and crowded in summer, it offers unmatched atmosphere for those who can afford it. Walking the ancient walls, exploring hidden alleys, and working from historic cafes is a unique experience. Best avoided with luggage due to many stairs.

πŸ’‘ Choosing Your Neighborhood

πŸŒ™

Match your schedule. Quiet areas for early risers, lively ones for night owls who work late and thrive in evening energy.

πŸ’»

Check coworking proximity. Walking distance to cafes and spaces matters a lot after a few weeks of settling in.

🏠

Try before committing. Book 1-2 weeks first before longer stays. Every neighborhood feels different at night.

πŸ’¬

Ask the community. Join local nomad groups for recent tipsβ€”neighborhoods change faster than any guide.
