The City of Rab
The town of Rab is the liveliest and the most visited place on the island and a true centre of historic architecture. Between Trg sv. Kristofora (St Christopher Square) and Loža (the City Lodge) stretches the Srednja ulica (Middle street), the city's main street, which during the season turns into an exhibition area with a multitude of boutiques, galleries, jewellery stores, and patisseries.
