   Two kilometres of walls around the old town; go first thing or late in the day to avoid the heat and the crowds.

2. Stradun

   Dubrovnik’s main street, of polished stone, between the Pile Gate and the old harbour.

3. Cable car

   A cable car up Mount Srđ: the view of the walled city from above, best at sunset.

4. Lokrum

   An island of pines and peacocks 15 minutes away by boat, with rocks for swimming and a salt lake.

Typical food of Dubrovnik

The dish you have to try there and how to make it at home, to whet your appetite before the trip (or to go back to Dubrovnik from your kitchen).

Rozata

Dubrovnik’s custard, scented with rose liqueur (rozalin), which gives it its name. A legacy of the Republic of Ragusa.

• Serves 6
• 1 h 15 min

Ingredients

• 1 l milk
• 6 eggs
• 150 g sugar (plus 100 g for the caramel)

How to make it at home

1. Make a caramel with 100 g sugar and coat the bottom of a mould.
2. Heat the milk with the vanilla and zest and leave to cool slightly.
3. Beat the eggs with the sugar, add the strained milk and the liqueur.

The trick: Rose water can be found in Middle Eastern grocers.
