Why it is worth your time
Wait for dusk on the waterfront and watch the giant cranes of the Uljanik shipyard blaze to life. Designer Dean Skira lit eight working cranes so they paint the harbour in shifting colour, an award-winning show visible across the bay. Grab a drink on the Riva and let the giants perform.
Croatia Atlas tip
Come back after dark: the shipyard cranes light up in shifting colour around 9pm.
