Baroque Old Town & Danube Promenade
Stari grad Vukovar
An 18th-century Baroque district stretching along Franjo Tuđman Avenue and the Danube bank, where restored arcaded townhouses stand alongside war ruins.
The old town centre is an 18th-century Baroque district built under the Eltz family. Arcaded townhouses line the main street; nearly all were destroyed in 1991, and most have now been restored, though ruins such as the shell-scarred Grand Hotel remain. From the Old Town you can follow the riverside paths along the Vuka and Danube to Eltz Castle and the Memorial Cross. Cafés and a pier line the riverbank, and Danube cruise boats run here in summer. Admission is free, and it's ideal for an evening stroll.
