So I am back from the most amazing and restful trip to Dubrovnik which was the 7th time I’ve visted this amazing city.
I am so excited to be forwarding on information about Dubrovnik to family and friends who are starting to catch on that it is the most AMAZING city in the world.
Here are some updates to my Croatia Travel Tips!
Shopping:
Gallery “Giardin”- Miha Pracata 8 T
This store used to have a lot more merchandise but still is a great place to go for some really authentic designer merchandise. Sadly, now they also have some really weird touristy stuff but worth a visit still just to see the store itself.
Ronchi Hat Factory- Lucarica 2
This is a must do for anybody that wants a beautiful hand-made hat. I actually met the lady who is the resident hat designer who was very nice and showed us old photos of her family who has been making hats in Dubrovnik since 1858. She herself used to be a 70s pop star and now is an amazing artist. My mom bought a beautiful black sculpted hat and I bought a hand-made pink knit hat for only 20 bucks!
Obrt “Nostalgija”- Maroice Kaboge 7
This store I have never been to until this visit and I’m so glad I found it. It is down a long street (address above) but at the very end. It is worth looking around for because they have beautiful hand-made icons, oils, and authentic art that is far and above better than some of the “cruise ship special” stuff you will get in the heart of the city. They also have little “guardian angels” that are lacquered onto wood that are great gifts!
I have to say that this visit was just lovely. I did learn some Croatian, finally but the city is getting so friendly English wise it really isn’t necessary. Please email me at TiffanyWestlie@gmail.com if you have any questions about your Croatian trip!
