Dubrovnik's Gruž – the coolest neighborhood in Europe

Gruž, or Žgra as the locals call it, is located just a few kilometers west of the walls of Dubrovnik, and the British Telegraph points out that Gruž is an excellent base station for going to the nearby islands. Local ferries to the Elaphite Islands, as well as catamarans to Mljet, Korčula and Hvar, travel from that quarter.

This port neighborhood of Dubrovnik has a market, which is cited as a plus, a port and a bus station. It is also home to TUP, a former factory that now hosts concerts, a recording studio, workshops and yoga classes, while the Museum of Red History which provides an insight into the Yugoslav way of life and design, is located in the adjacent premises.

The former working-class neighborhood of the southernmost Croatian city may be the coolest neighborhood in Europe, but today it suffers from numerous cruise ships and a lack of parking.

It is 298 meters long and it can be easily walked for ten minutes of light walk, but for Dubrovnik people it is the longest street in the world where everybody knows and greets everybody, comments on daily events
