Walking down St. Dominic Street, you'll notice a pleasant and cosy shop, with colourful art displayed against the old stone walls. The visual appeal gets your attention, but it is what you find inside that makes Dubrovačka kuća different from the usual Old Town souvenir stop.
Dubrovačka kuća brings together Croatian art, handmade crafts, regional wines and traditional delicacies in the historic centre of Dubrovnik. If you want a souvenir with a clearer connection to Dubrovnik and Croatia, this is a better place to browse than shops dominated by generic tourist merchandise.
What to buy at Dubrovačka kuća
The selection mixes edible gifts with artwork and handmade objects. Depending on what is available when you visit, you may find Croatian paintings and graphics, ceramics, handmade jewellery, small artisan products and regional wines.
The food section is particularly interesting if you want something recognisably local. Look for traditional Dubrovnik sweets such as kotonjata, made from quince, mantala, a traditional grape-based sweet, caramelised almonds and arancini, strips of candied orange peel.
Other products include olive oil, honey, herbs, teas, fruit preserves, sweets and Croatian spirits and wines. Stock changes, which is part of the appeal of browsing a shop built around small producers and artisan products rather than a fixed souvenir range.
Art, crafts and Dubrovnik delicacies under one roof
Dubrovačka kuća is arranged over two floors. The upper floor functions as a gallery, with works by Croatian artists and particular emphasis on artists connected with Dubrovnik. Downstairs you will find crafts, jewellery, wines, sweets and other Croatian artisan products.
That combination is what gives the shop its character. You can leave with something as simple as a box of local sweets, but you can also spend time looking through artwork, handmade jewellery or a bottle of Croatian wine.
A better choice for authentic Dubrovnik souvenirs
There is no shortage of souvenir shops in Dubrovnik, especially inside the Old Town. Dubrovačka kuća is worth knowing about because the emphasis is on Croatian arts, crafts and food products rather than souvenirs that could have come from almost any tourist destination.
The Dubrovnik Tourist Board also lists Dubrovačka kuća among the city's souvenir outlets, at its long-standing location on Sv. Dominika.
