Walk the city walls at opening time (8 AM) to beat the cruise ship crowds. The Old Town is pedestrian-only — wear comfortable shoes on the marble Stradun which gets slippery when wet.
People actually live inside Diocletian's Palace — apartments, cafés, and bars occupy the Roman emperor's retirement home. Walk through the golden gate at dawn before the crowds arrive. The Riva promenade is the evening social scene.
🇭🇷 Dubrovnik Fun Fact
Dubrovnik was the first state in the world to officially abolish the slave trade — in 1416, over 400 years before the British Empire. The city-republic of Ragusa prided itself on freedom ('Libertas') above all.
🇭🇷 Split Fun Fact
Split's old town is literally a Roman emperor's retirement palace. Diocletian built his palace in 305 AD to retire into, and citizens simply moved in after his death — making it one of the best-preserved Roman monuments with people still living inside.
