OldTownDubrovnikInhabitants


The "Old Town" within the fortress walls of Dubrovnik number about 700. The older people can no longer deal with the steep winding stairs that lead up to their tiny flats - so they have mostly sold out to younger,more stylish folks. It looks a little like a models convention to walk around the city and watch the locals. This is one advantage of seeing the town at this time of year. We saw only one other tour bus so we could watch the locals in their element. In the summer, we would be there with 6 cruise ships at a time and pushing shoulder to shoulder with the other tourists trying to get a look at this magnificent city.
