Most tourists tend to think of Dubrovnik as a cultural and historical gem not a shopping destination. This couldn’t be further from the truth. While it’s true that Dubrovnik is full of monuments at every corner, its alleys are actually laden with shops of all kinds. This might be why it’s fast gaining a reputation as a shopping mecca in Croatia. There is nothing you won’t find here. Farmer’s markets are bursting with local produce, Croatian jams and fresh seafood. Just walk around and pick up a bunch of flowers for your apartment or hotel room. Don’t forget to talk to the vendors and sample olives, freshly-baked pastries and Croatian cookies.

They are perfect if you want to pick up ingredients for trying your hand at recreating some local dishes.
