Dubrovnik Map Poster: the walled city on the Adriatic
Why Dubrovnik works so well as a map poster
Dubrovnik's map is tiny and perfect. Inside the walls, the Stradun cuts a single straight line through the old town while narrow lanes climb the slopes on either side in tight parallel steps, the whole ensemble pressed hard against the Adriatic and ringed by its famous fortifications.
Outside the walls the drama continues: the coast road threading west past Gruž harbour, the green Lapad and Babin Kuk peninsulas reaching into the sea, the wooded island of Lokrum floating just offshore and Mount Srđ rising like a wall behind it all. The sea does half the composition for you.
Best palettes for Dubrovnik
- Ocean — the signature pick: Adriatic blues that let the coastline and the harbour carry the print.
- Warm Beige — soft stone tones that echo the limestone streets and terracotta roofs of the old town.
- Noir — dramatic black on black; the walled city becomes a dark jewel against the empty sea.
Where to centre the map and which radius to use
Centre on the Stradun with a 3 km radius: the walled old town, Lokrum, Gruž harbour and the Lapad peninsula all fit, and the landscape orientation lets the coastline stretch across the full width of the frame. Landscape orientation suits this city best; every ready-made design also ships landscape versions in the extras ZIP.

Which size to print
City maps with lots of fine streets reward size: 30×40 cm is the sweet spot for a desk or hallway, 50×70 cm and 60×90 cm turn the map into a statement piece where individual streets remain legible from across the room. Stick to matte paper so the dark palettes do not reflect. Read the printing and framing guide.
