Dubrovnik's Old Town is one big, romantic parade of relaxed and happy people out
strolling. The main drag is brightly lit and packed with shops, cafés, and bars, all open late.
This is a fun scene. And if you walk away from the crowds or out on the port, you'll be
alone with the magic of the Pearl of the Adriatic. Everything feels—and is—very safe after
dark.
