The Dubrovnik Pass is usually worth buying if you plan to walk the City Walls, visit at least one museum, and use local buses during your stay. The 1-day Dubrovnik Pass costs the same as a regular adult City Walls ticket, but also includes public transport, museums, galleries, and selected discounts.
As Dubrovnik locals, we usually recommend the pass to first-time visitors who want to see the City Walls and explore the Old Town’s cultural sights without buying separate tickets. It is less useful if you only want beaches, restaurants, boat trips, or relaxed time outside the historic center.
For a wider overview of what to plan around the pass, start with our guide to the best things to do in Dubrovnik, then use this Dubrovnik Pass guide to decide whether the card actually fits your trip.
Yes, the Dubrovnik Pass is worth it for most first-time visitors who plan to walk the Dubrovnik City Walls. The 1-day pass is listed at €40, the same price your article currently gives for the regular adult City Walls ticket in season, but the pass also includes local bus transport, museums, galleries, and partner discounts.
The Dubrovnik Pass is best for:
– First-time visitors who want to walk the City Walls
– Travelers staying outside Old Town who will use local buses
– Visitors who enjoy museums, history, and cultural sights
– Families with children under 7, because young children do not need a separate pass when accompanied by an adult pass holder
– Short stays where convenience matters
The Dubrovnik Pass is probably not worth it if you are skipping the City Walls, avoiding museums, spending most of your time on beaches, or planning mainly boat trips and restaurants.
Dubrovnik Pass is a tourist card that provides free access to various attractions, free local public transport and many discounts on different tours and activities in Dubrovnik.
It can be a convenient way for visitors to explore Dubrovnik’s rich cultural heritage and attractions while saving money on entrance fees and other expenses.
The Dubrovnik Pass includes one-time entry to Dubrovnik’s main cultural attractions, including the City Walls, Fort Lovrijenac, selected museums, galleries, and public city transport. It also gives discounts for selected partner attractions, restaurants, tours, events, and experiences.
Main inclusions usually include:
Good to know: Included attractions are usually single-entry only, so plan your sightseeing route before activating the pass.
Even if you are planning on visiting only the city walls, it can be worth buying the pass.
The price of the 1-day pass is 40 euro, the same as the ticket for the City Walls, except the pass also includes 24 hour free public transport (regular daily bus pass price 5.31 euro), and is activated from the moment you first use it.
The Dubrovnik Pass is great to have for all history buffs, culture enthusiasts and everyone looking to explore Dubrovnik’s rich cultural heritage and stunning attractions. The Dubrovnik Pass might not be a good option for travellers who have already experienced the Dubrovnik city walls or have little interest in exploring the cultural sights.
If you do not buy the Dubrovnik Pass but still want to use buses, local Libertas tickets are available separately. Current city transport prices include a daily ticket for €5.31 and a three-day ticket for €11.95, but always check the official Libertas price list before traveling.
For visitors staying in Lapad, Babin Kuk, Gruž, or outside the Old Town, the public transport benefit can make the Dubrovnik Pass more convenient.
If you are trying not to have holidays without breaking a bank, our Dubrovnik on a budget guide can help you find the best deals.
Kids under seven get free entrance to museums, galleries and free public transport when accompanied by an adult holder of Dubrovnik Pass. Older kids, teens and students pay the same price for Dubrovnik Pass as adults (no price discounts).
Since only the adult Dubrovnik pass is available (no special price for children or students), there is not much value in buying the Dubrovnik pass for the kids. For example, the price for city walls is 15 euro for kids aged 7-18, and free of charge for kids under 7.
Families can also use our guide to Dubrovnik with kids to plan easier sightseeing days around heat, stairs, buses, and museum stops.

Good to know: This gives you more time to spread out museums, buses, and sightseeing.

The Dubrovnik Pass is mainly useful for the City Walls, museums, galleries, and public transport. However, it also includes selected discounts for tours, restaurants, events, and local experiences.
These discounts should be treated as a bonus, not the main reason to buy the pass. Always check the current official discount list before planning around a specific offer.

This can be a fun choice if you want a boat experience with more atmosphere than a simple transfer or standard sightseeing boat.
The biggest value of the Dubrovnik Pass is access to Dubrovnik’s main cultural sights. The City Walls are usually the reason most visitors buy the pass, but the museums, galleries, festivals, and cultural discounts can add real value if you plan your sightseeing well.
Most included attractions are single-entry only, so it is worth planning your route before you activate the pass.
Best for: First-time visitors, views, history, photography, and the classic Dubrovnik experience
Good to know: Go early in the morning or later in the afternoon, especially in summer. There is very little shade on the walls.
With Dubrovnik Pass: Free
The Dubrovnik City Walls are the main reason most visitors buy the Dubrovnik Pass. The walk gives you stunning panoramic views over the Old Town, Lokrum Island, Fort Lovrijenac, red rooftops, and the Adriatic Sea. The walls are impressive and among the best preserved fortification in Europe, making them a worthy UNESCO World Heritage Site to visit.
The full walk can take around 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on crowds, heat, and how often you stop for photos. If you only use the pass for one major attraction, make it this one.
Best for: History lovers, architecture, culture, and first-time visitors
Good to know: This is one of the best indoor cultural stops to pair with an Old Town sightseeing day.
With Dubrovnik Pass: Free
Rector’s Palace is one of Dubrovnik’s most important historic buildings and one of the best museums to visit with the Dubrovnik Pass. It was the political center of the old Republic of Ragusa and now houses the Cultural History Museum.
Visit if you want to understand Dubrovnik beyond the city walls and postcard views. The building itself is part of the experience, with elegant arches, courtyards, staircases, and exhibits connected to Dubrovnik’s past.
Best for: Architecture, history, cloisters, pharmacy history, and short cultural stops
Good to know: This is a compact museum, so it works well if you want something meaningful without spending hours indoors.
With Dubrovnik Pass: Free
The Franciscan Monastery Museum is a peaceful stop near the beginning of Stradun, close to Pile Gate. It is best known for its beautiful cloister, religious art, old manuscripts and rich history dating back to the 14th century. It houses one of the oldest pharmacies in Europe where you can still buy one of the original (chemical-free) recipes and ointments.
This is a good choice if you want a quieter cultural stop in the Old Town, especially before or after walking the main street.
Best for: Maritime history, families with curious kids, history lovers, and rainy-day sightseeing
Good to know: The museum is located in St. John’s Fortress, near the Old Port.
With Dubrovnik Pass: Free
The Maritime Museum tells the story of Dubrovnik’s seafaring history and its importance as a powerful maritime republic. Exhibits usually focus on ships, trade, navigation, models, maps, and the city’s connection to the sea.
The Republic (then known as Ragusa) was one of the world’s foremost maritime forces of that time. This museum works well if you want to understand why the sea was so important to Dubrovnik’s wealth, diplomacy, and survival.
Best for: Local traditions, culture, families, and visitors interested in everyday Dubrovnik life
Good to know: It is a good cultural stop if you want something different from palaces, walls, and sea views.
With Dubrovnik Pass: Free
The Ethnographic Museum focuses on traditional life, clothing, crafts, customs, and local heritage from the Dubrovnik region. It gives visitors a quieter look at how people lived, worked, dressed, and celebrated outside the grand political history of the city.
It is especially useful if you enjoy museums that show everyday culture, not only monuments and famous rulers.
Best for: Families, kids, nature lovers, and short indoor breaks
Good to know: This is a smaller museum, so it works well as a quick cultural stop rather than a full half-day plan.
With Dubrovnik Pass: Free
The Dubrovnik Natural History Museum is a useful stop if you want to learn more about the region’s natural environment, animals, plants, geology, and biodiversity.
It can work especially well with children or on hot and rainy days, when you want a short indoor activity inside the Old Town.
Best for: Adults, older teens, photography, modern history, and serious cultural context
Good to know: This is a powerful museum, but it may be too intense for young children.
With Dubrovnik Pass: 20% off
War Photo Limited is one of Dubrovnik’s most thought-provoking museums. It focuses on war photography and the human impact of conflict, making it very different from the city’s older historic attractions.
This is a strong choice if you want a deeper and more serious cultural experience during your Dubrovnik trip. It pairs well with other history-focused sightseeing, but it is not a light museum stop.
Best for: Culture lovers, couples, music, theatre, dance, and summer evenings

If you are visiting in July or August, this discount can be one of the most valuable cultural extras included with the Dubrovnik Pass.

Best for: Traditional music, dance, culture, families, and evening entertainment
Good to know: Check the current performance schedule before planning your evening around it.

Folk Ensemble Linđo is one of the best ways to experience traditional music and dance from Dubrovnik and the wider Croatian region. The performances are colorful, energetic, and easier to enjoy than a long museum visit if you want culture in the evening.

Best for: Culture, exhibitions, events, history, and travelers interested in local arts spaces
Good to know: Lazareti is close to Ploče Gate, just outside the Old Town walls.

The Dubrovnik Pass can also give you extra value if you plan to eat in the Old Town, Lapad, or near the Old Port. Restaurant discounts should not be the main reason to buy the pass, but they can be a useful bonus if the restaurant already fits your plans.
The best strategy is simple: use the pass for the City Walls and museums first, then choose one discounted restaurant nearby for lunch, dinner, coffee, or a relaxed break between sightseeing.
Best for: Coffee, cake, Old Town atmosphere, Old Port views, and a more polished meal
Good to know: This is one of the more upscale options, so it works best when you want a nicer coffee stop, lunch, or dinner.
Dubrovnik Pass discount: 10% off
Arsenal, also known locally as Gradska kavana, is one of the most classic places for coffee, cake, or a meal in the heart of Dubrovnik. The café side overlooks Stradun, while the restaurant terrace looks toward the Old Port.

Best for: Seafood, Old Port views, casual meals, and families
Good to know: It has a large terrace and a very convenient location, so it can get busy in high season.

Best for: Pizza, families, groups, casual meals, and picky eaters
Good to know: A practical Old Town option when you want something easy instead of seafood or a formal dinner.

Dubrovnik Pass discount: 10% off

Best for: Bosnian cuisine, meat lovers, hearty meals, couples, and groups
Good to know: There are two locations: Taj Mahal Old Town and Taj Mahal at Hotel Lero. The Hotel Lero location is usually easier for getting a table.
Dubrovnik Pass discount: 10% off menu and wine list
Taj Mahal serves traditional Bosnian cuisine, which is rich, filling, and full of flavor. Expect grilled meats, pies, stews, sauces, and generous portions rather than light Mediterranean seafood.
The Old Town location is more atmospheric, while the Hotel Lero location is larger and often more practical if you want an easier reservation or a meal outside the busiest streets.
Best for: Mediterranean food, Old Port location, live music, and casual dinners
Good to know: The location is very central, so it can get busy, especially in the evening.

Good to know: This restaurant is in Lapad Bay, close to the promenade and about 3 km from Dubrovnik Old Town.
Dubrovnik Pass discount: 10% off
Chihuahua Cantina Mexicana is a good choice when you want a break from seafood, pizza, and Dalmatian classics. It is located in Lapad, close to the promenade, so it works especially well if you are staying in Lapad or heading there after sightseeing.
As a vegetarian who does not eat seafood, I find this one especially useful. It gives you something different, relaxed, and easy after a day of museums, buses, and Old Town crowds.
For more ideas nearby, see our full Lapad Dubrovnik guide.
The Dubrovnik Pass is mostly useful for Old Town sights, museums, galleries, and local buses, but some outdoor and island experiences also offer pass-holder discounts. These are best treated as bonus savings if Lokrum or Mljet already fit your itinerary.
For most visitors, Lokrum is the easiest outdoor add-on because it is close to Dubrovnik Old Town. Mljet National Park is better for longer stays because it takes more time, planning, and a full-day island mindset.
Best for: Nature lovers, families, swimming, cliff jumping, shade, peacocks, Game of Thrones fans, and an easy island escape
Good to know: Lokrum is very close to the Old Town, but boat schedules and island opening rules can change by season.
Dubrovnik Pass discount: 20% off with the 3-day pass, 30% off with the 7-day pass
Lokrum is one of the easiest outdoor escapes from Dubrovnik. The island is a short boat ride from the Old Port and gives you a quick break from Old Town crowds, stone streets, and summer heat.
The island is known for pine shade, swimming spots, walking paths, botanical gardens, peacocks, rabbits, and quiet corners where you can slow down for a few hours. It works especially well after a busy morning on the City Walls or in museums.
Game of Thrones fan tip: Lokrum is home to the Iron Throne photo spot. For the full fan experience, see the 4-in-1 Ultimate Game of Thrones Bundle, with a guided tour, GOT souvenir, Save King’s Landing escape room, and Iron Throne photo. Prefer to explore alone? Read our full Game of Thrones guide to Dubrovnik for filming locations and self-guided ideas.
Best for: Nature lovers, couples, active travelers, cycling, swimming, kayaking, and peaceful full-day trips
Good to know: Mljet is not a quick stop. Plan it as a full-day trip and check ferry times before you go.
Dubrovnik Pass discount: 30% off with the 7-day pass
Mljet National Park is one of the best nature day trips from Dubrovnik, especially if you want forests, saltwater lakes, swimming, cycling, and a much slower island atmosphere. It is greener, quieter, and more spacious than Dubrovnik, which makes it a good contrast after several days of Old Town sightseeing.
The main highlights are the Great Lake and Small Lake, walking and cycling paths, swimming areas, and the small island monastery of St. Mary. Many visitors rent bikes or take the park boat across the lake, depending on how active they want the day to be.
Mljet makes the most sense with the 7-day Dubrovnik Pass because you need enough time to enjoy the island without rushing. If you only have one or two days in Dubrovnik, use the pass for the City Walls, museums, and local buses first.
The Dubrovnik Pass does not include every attraction, tour, or transport option in Dubrovnik. It is mainly designed for the City Walls, Fort Lovrijenac, museums, galleries, local city buses, and selected partner discounts.
The Dubrovnik Pass does not include:
Local tip: Think of the Dubrovnik Pass as a City Walls, museums, galleries, and city-bus pass first. Treat restaurant, tour, island, and activity discounts as useful extras.
You can buy the Dubrovnik Pass online through the official Dubrovnik Pass website or in person at tourist information offices, selected hotels, travel agencies, and official sales points in Dubrovnik.
The easiest option for most visitors is to buy the pass online and keep the QR code on your phone. After purchase, you can use the QR code to enter included attractions and claim eligible discounts.
You do not need to print the Dubrovnik Pass. A mobile QR code is enough, but it is smart to save a screenshot or PDF in case your mobile internet is slow inside the Old Town.
Good to know: The pass activates when you first use it at an included attraction or when you activate the public transport benefit. From that moment, the validity period starts counting.
The Dubrovnik Pass is worth buying if you plan to walk the City Walls, use local buses, and visit at least one or two museums or galleries. For most first-time visitors, the 1-day pass is the easiest choice because it covers the main paid attraction and gives you extra value through public transport and cultural sights.
Skip the pass if you are not interested in the City Walls, prefer beaches and boat trips, or only want to wander around the Old Town for free.
The best strategy is simple: buy the pass for your busiest sightseeing day, start early with the City Walls, visit one or two nearby museums, then use the bus to reach Lapad, Babin Kuk, Gruž, or another part of Dubrovnik.
If your Dubrovnik Pass day leaves you tired from walls, museums, and summer heat, plan an easier indoor break afterward. Puzzle Punks Escape Room in Lapad is about 10 minutes from Old Town and offers a 20% discount for Dubrovnik pass holders. For more air-conditioned ideas, see our guide to indoor things to do in Dubrovnik.
The 1-day Dubrovnik Pass lasts 24 hours, the 3-day pass lasts 72 hours, and the 7-day pass lasts 168 hours from activation. The time starts when you first use the pass at an attraction or activate the public transport benefit.
The Dubrovnik Pass activates the first time you use it. This can be when you scan it at an included attraction, such as the City Walls or a museum, or when you activate the public transport benefit.
No, you do not need to print the Dubrovnik Pass. You can show the QR code on your mobile phone, but it is useful to save a screenshot or PDF before sightseeing.
The Dubrovnik Pass gives you single entry to included cultural attractions. Even with a multi-day pass, you can usually visit each included museum, gallery, or attraction only once.
The Dubrovnik Pass includes local Dubrovnik city buses, which are useful for traveling between Old Town, Lapad, Babin Kuk, Gruž, and other city areas (buses number 1-9). Suburban buses to places like Cavtat, Župa, Srebreno, and Mlini are not included.
No, the Dubrovnik Pass does not include the Dubrovnik Cable Car to Mount Srđ. If you want to ride the cable car, you need to buy a separate ticket.
No, the Dubrovnik Pass does not include free Lokrum Island entry. However, the 3-day and 7-day passes may include a discount for Lokrum, so check the current pass benefits before buying tickets.
