Advantages: Fascinating Walkway through Medieval Dubrovnik Disadvantages: Can be Hard Work in July and August
during the 12th century, it has survived the disastrous earhquake of 1667 and Serb shelling during the siege of Dubrovnik from 1991 to 1992. Today this smooth limestone walkway, with its melee of attractive shops, cafes, bars and restaurants, buzzes with life throughout the year.
Cafes
---------
There is definitely a cafe culture on the Stradun. As soon as the sun rises many cafe owners can be seen flinging tables and chairs out for the day. You have to be early and quick to find a seat and if you want to spend time watching the world go by then I suggest you stay put because it is definitely first come first served. Usually I am exhausted when I visit the Stradun because I have been travelling from another country or caught a very early morning flight so my first stop is always The Irish Pub.

At the end we found the address and we parked in fornt of the house in front ...
Advantages: everything here is advantage Disadvantages: not too many places to go out after midnight
The legacy
"Freedom is not to be sold even for all the gold in the world", states the sign at the entrance of Lovrijenac, the monumental, self-supported fortress, raised upon a rock that is 37 meters high, above Dubrovnik Old Town. The fortress made in 14th century, though there are indicators it was made in 11th century, a true protector from invader attacks for centuries. The same statement was at the Libertas flag flown on ships from Dubrovnik on Argosy ships, a merchant ships also mentioned by Shakespeare. This is the politics of Dubrovnik ever since, even for today. Dubrovnik never was and never is a town and place that will trade freedom for gold. Invaded by many invaders through centuries the City of Dubrovnik always remains the same. While entire Balkan Area went through wars and always has been invaded by different invaders ...
