Staying in Firule and Žnjan
Treat Firule and Žnjan as separate bases when checking an address. Firule is closer to the chain of bays leading back toward Bačvice, while Žnjan puts you farther east. The distance from your building to the shore matters too: a short downhill walk can mean a warm climb home. Check the actual walking route, nearby bus stops and vehicle access before choosing an apartment.

Eating in Firule and Žnjan
Dvor is an option around Firule, while Kadena is another named choice along the eastern side of the city. Check their locations against your accommodation before making plans. For ordinary breakfasts and lunches, look at the inland streets as well as the waterfront, and confirm kitchen hours separately from bar opening hours.
Getting around from Firule and Žnjan
