Top Local Markets in Dubrovnik, Croatia
Even if it has many Five star hotels, Dubrovnik is still an old-school community with no big shopping centers or hypermarkets. Local Markets still plays an important role in every day life. We have made a list of the best local markets in Dubrovnik.
Gunduliceva poljana
Gunduliceva poljana
Right behind the Church of St Blaise in Dubrovnik’s old town there is the main market which fills the square of Gundulićeva poljana six days in a week. Not only this is the busiest but it’s items are most varied in Dubrovnik’s market with natural nectars, jams, herbs, flavors, oils and lavenders on numerous stalls and having stacks of tomatoes, peppers, apples, grapes and oranges. You may also discover home-made rakija spirit and wine.
Gruz market
Gruz is as occupied as Dubrovnik’s principle market in the Old Town. However, there are far less vacationers here. It’s near the main port and bus station, permitting sellers (and customers) to head over from the islands and the Dalmatian hinterland. Gruz market is particularly focused on produce. Women of a particular age purchase items for soups and cakes and fish for supper. You can take a look at the farmers who came here from the Neretva Delta or Konavle, some in traditional dress.
Dubrovnik Christmas Market
Dubrovnik Christmas Market
Appearance in Zagreb has been an immense success, however Dubrovnik’s undeniably more humble version is the Dubrovnik Winter Festival. It is basically a Christmas market with a tree set up on the principle square of Loža with coral singers at the Church of St Blaise. It is warmer – this is southern Europe, not Central and you can sit outside comfortably by day.
Lapad market
This market is the least popular market among the local markets in Dubrovnik, set around a little square where Mata Vodopića meets Kralja Tomislava. Like Gruž, it’s particularly an asset for local people. And it is near the beach so you can do a lot oof things here and can spend some quality time with your family and loved ones. The fruits which you will find here are naturally organic. You’ll find a baker’s shop nearby to get some fresh breads and cakes.
