KRAS shop – The fraternal monument

One of those shops that I can’t really believe still exists is situated on the main pedestrian street, Čopova ulica, named after the important Slovenian linguist Čop. It has confronted all the system changes and is a monument of the fraternal country we used to have.

If you share the adoration for chocolate with me, you should visit this shop in between hunting the main tourist attractions in the city centre. Try “bajadera” or “ledene kocke” (directly translated as ice cubes) to gain some strength. Both have been well known sweets around here for a long time.

The shop that we refer to with the French word bonbonnière has goodies from KRAS, a Croatian company that’s been in my life since childhood. Their main chocolate brand is called Dorina, and comes in a variety of flavors. They also have a Toblerone-kind-of chocolate called Kolumbo.
