Staying in Manuš and Lučac
These two names cover different approaches to the center. Manuš lies toward the northern side, making the Golden Gate a useful landmark; Lučac lies toward the eastern approach and the market side. Ask for directions from the gate closest to your accommodation. A route that looks direct on a map may include a climb, steps or a narrow lane that is awkward with a large suitcase.
