Dubrovnik Pass

Save up to 50% and get free entrance to Dubrovnik City Walls, museums and galleries, including a bus card valid throughout the city of Dubrovnik.

Dubrovnik Pass types, prices and what is included

The Dubrovnik Pass is available as a 1-day, 3-day or 7-day version. Each option includes entry to selected cultural sites, the City Walls, and a bus card for travel on Dubrovnik’s local buses. The main differences between the passes are the price and how long they stay valid once they are activated.

As of 2025, guide prices are approximately 40 € for the 1-day Dubrovnik Pass, 50 € for the 3-day pass and 60 € for the 7-day pass. Exact amounts and inclusions can change, so always check the official Dubrovnik Pass website or Dubrovnik Tourist Board information before you buy.

1-day Dubrovnik Pass: price and what is included

The 1-day Dubrovnik Pass is designed for visitors with limited time who still want to see the main highlights. It is valid for 24 hours from first use and includes entry to the City Walls and several of Dubrovnik’s museums and galleries. A 24-hour city bus ticket is included, useful for moving between the Old Town, Gruž and Lapad. For an overview of the network, see the Dubrovnik city bus map.

This version works best if you plan to walk the Walls and visit at least one or two cultural sites, such as those listed under historical monuments, within a single sightseeing day.

3-day Dubrovnik Pass: price and what is included

The 3-day Dubrovnik Pass is intended for travellers spending several days in the city. It is valid for 72 hours from first use and includes entry to the City Walls, a broader selection of museums and galleries, plus one cultural site in Cavtat. A multi-day city bus card is also included, making it easier to travel repeatedly between your accommodation and the Old Town; a helpful overview is available via the city bus map.

This option suits visitors who want flexibility to spread sightseeing across several days without rushing.

7-day Dubrovnik Pass: price and what is included

The 7-day Dubrovnik Pass is best for longer stays in the city. It is valid for 168 hours from first use and includes entry to the City Walls, selected museums and galleries, and one museum in Cavtat. The 7-day bus card is useful for guests staying in Lapad or Babin Kuk who travel several times to the Old Town; the bus map helps with planning.

This option works well for visitors who prefer a slower pace and want time to explore more cultural sites listed under monuments, museums and galleries.

All Dubrovnik Pass versions activate when you first use the pass at an attraction or on a local bus. The validity period then runs continuously, so it is best to plan your first use for the moment you want your sightseeing or transport period to begin.

What is included in the Dubrovnik Pass?

The Dubrovnik Pass combines entry to major cultural and historical sites with a city bus ticket and a range of partner discounts. It is designed to cover the most important attractions in Dubrovnik attractions and simplify local transport while you explore.

Attractions and cultural sites

All versions of the pass include entry to the City Walls and a selection of cultural sites listed under monuments, museums and galleries. Some versions also include one cultural site in Cavtat, depending on the pass type.

Each attraction can be visited once during the validity of your pass, and you simply scan your digital ticket at the entrance.

City bus card

The included bus card allows unlimited travel on Dubrovnik’s local city buses for the duration of your pass. It is useful for moving between the Old Town, Gruž, Lapad and other neighbourhoods. For route orientation, see the Dubrovnik city bus map.

The bus card activates on your first ride, and the validity runs continuously from that moment.

Discounts and partner benefits

The Dubrovnik Pass also includes discounts at selected restaurants, shops, galleries and cultural events. These offers change seasonally, so it is a good idea to check the latest list on the official Dubrovnik Pass website or at Dubrovnik Tourist Board offices.

The printed or digital guide that comes with the pass usually includes a summary of available discounts and partners.

Is the Dubrovnik Pass worth it?

For many visitors the Dubrovnik Pass offers good value, especially if you plan to walk the City Walls, visit at least one or two museums and use local buses during your stay. In 2025, a standard adult ticket to walk the City Walls costs around 40 €, which is roughly the same price as the 1-day Dubrovnik Pass that also adds museum entry and a city bus card.

If you spread sightseeing over several days, the 3-day and 7-day passes can work out even better, as they include extended public transport and access to more cultural sites for only a small extra cost compared with buying the walls ticket, bus tickets and museum entry separately.

When the Dubrovnik Pass saves you money

The pass is most likely to save you money if you:

• plan to walk the City Walls and would otherwise buy a separate ticket
• want to visit multiple cultural sites listed under monuments, museums and galleries
• expect to use local buses frequently to move between the Old Town, Gruž, Lapad or other neighbourhoods
• prefer a single purchase instead of multiple individual tickets during your stay

In these situations, the combined value of the City Walls ticket, cultural sites and bus travel usually exceeds the price of the pass, particularly over three or seven days.

When you might skip the Dubrovnik Pass

The Dubrovnik Pass may not be necessary if you:

• only want a short walk through the Old Town without visiting the walls or museums
• are mainly interested in beaches, boat trips and scenery rather than cultural sights
• are visiting on a cruise or day trip with limited time for organised sightseeing
• are staying very close to the Old Town and will rarely use buses

In these cases, it can be cheaper to buy individual tickets or simply enjoy the free parts of the city and pay only for the one or two experiences that matter most to you.

Because ticket prices and conditions can change, it is always sensible to compare the current City Walls ticket price with the latest Dubrovnik Pass prices before deciding which option suits your itinerary and budget.

Where to buy and how to activate the Dubrovnik Pass

You can buy the Dubrovnik Pass online or at various locations once you arrive in the city. Both options give you the same digital pass with a QR code that you scan at attractions and on local buses.

Where to buy the Dubrovnik Pass

The easiest place to buy the pass after arrival is the Dubrovnik Tourist Board Office at Pile Gate, the main entrance to the Old Town. Many hotels, local travel agencies and ticket offices across the city also sell the pass, making it simple to purchase it during your stay.

If you prefer to arrange everything in advance, you can also purchase the Dubrovnik Pass online and store it on your phone. Once downloaded, the digital QR code works the same way as a physical printout.

Activation and validity

Your Dubrovnik Pass activates automatically the moment you use it for the first time. This can be either:

• scanning the QR code at an attraction entrance, or
• using the bus card on a Dubrovnik city bus

Once activated, the validity of the pass (1-day, 3-day or 7-day) runs continuously from that moment. The same activation applies to both the cultural sites and the bus card.

To make the most of your pass, it is best to activate it at the time you are ready to begin your sightseeing or when you start your first bus journey.

Using the Dubrovnik Pass on local buses

The Dubrovnik Pass includes a city bus card that gives you unlimited travel on Dubrovnik’s local buses for the duration of your pass. This makes it easy to move between the Old Town, Gruž, Lapad and other neighbourhoods without buying separate tickets.

Using the pass on Dubrovnik city buses

Your bus card becomes active the moment you take your first ride. Simply show the QR code from your Dubrovnik Pass to the driver or validator. The validity period then runs continuously for 1, 3 or 7 days, depending on the pass you have purchased.

The pass is valid on all regular Dubrovnik city bus lines operated within the urban area. This is particularly useful if your accommodation is in Lapad, Babin Kuk or near Gruž Port and you plan to travel to the Old Town multiple times. For route orientation, you can check the official Dubrovnik city bus map.

Airport and suburban buses

The Dubrovnik Pass does not include airport transfers. Buses between Dubrovnik Airport and the city charge a separate fare, and this service is operated independently of the city bus network.

The pass is also not valid on suburban routes that travel beyond the central Dubrovnik area, such as lines toward Cavtat or the wider Dubrovnik Riviera. For these journeys you need separate tickets; see our overview of Dubrovnik suburban bus lines for more details.

If you expect to combine sightseeing with frequent bus travel, the included bus card can offer significant convenience, especially over three or seven days.

How to plan your sightseeing with the Dubrovnik Pass

The Dubrovnik Pass works best when you group paid sights and bus rides into clear sightseeing blocks. Below are simple examples of how you might use the 1-day, 3-day and 7-day passes to make the most of what is included.

1-day Dubrovnik Pass: suggested plan

The 1-day pass is ideal if you have limited time but want to cover the essentials in and around the Old Town.

• Morning: Enter the Old Town, visit one or two nearby sites listed under monuments, then walk the City Walls.
• Midday: Take a short break on Stradun or one of the side streets, then visit a central museum such as those listed in museums in Dubrovnik.
• Afternoon: Use the included bus card to ride from the Old Town toward Lapad or Babin Kuk for a coastal walk or coffee by the sea.
• Evening: Return by bus to the Old Town area for a walk through the illuminated streets and a relaxed dinner.

This type of plan uses the pass for the City Walls, at least one museum and several bus journeys, which usually matches or exceeds the value of buying everything separately.

3-day Dubrovnik Pass: suggested plan

The 3-day pass gives you more time and is suitable for visitors who want to explore several museums and use buses regularly without rushing.

• Day 1: Focus on the Old Town. Walk the City Walls, visit one or two central museums, and use the bus card to reach your accommodation and back.
• Day 2: Spend more time inside museums and galleries, then use the bus to explore Gruž and the harbour area, or head to Lapad for an afternoon by the sea.
• Day 3: Use the remaining validity to revisit any favourite areas and fit in one or two additional cultural sites you may have missed on the first two days.

This approach spreads your sightseeing across several shorter days, making the pass comfortable to use while still covering a good number of paid attractions and bus rides.

7-day Dubrovnik Pass: suggested plan

The 7-day pass is best if you are staying in Dubrovnik for a week or more and prefer a slower pace with time to explore cultural sites, neighbourhoods and nearby places.

• Days 1-2: Explore the Old Town gradually: walk the City Walls on one day, visit a couple of museums and galleries on another, using the bus card to move between your accommodation and Pile Gate.
• Day 3: Combine additional cultural sites listed under monuments with time for cafés, viewpoints and short walks around the city.
• Day 4: Take a day to visit Cavtat or another nearby destination for which your pass includes a cultural site, then spend the rest of the day by the sea or on a coastal walk.
• Days 5-7: Use remaining validity for repeat visits to favourite areas, extra museum or gallery stops and convenient bus trips between the Old Town, Gruž and Lapad while you relax at your own pace.

With a 7-day pass you are not under pressure to see everything at once, and the included bus card makes it easier to move around Dubrovnik without thinking about individual ticket prices.

Tours that work well with the Dubrovnik Pass

The Dubrovnik Pass covers major attractions and city transport, but some experiences are best joined as guided tours. These tours complement the pass by offering context, local insight and access to trained guides while you use your pass for entry where applicable.

Old Town walking tours

An Old Town walking tour is a good way to understand the history, layout and culture of Dubrovnik before exploring on your own. You can combine a guided walk with independent visits to cultural sites listed under monuments, museums and galleries, using your pass for entry.

City Walls and Old Town tours

Walking the City Walls independently is easy with the Dubrovnik Pass, but joining a guided tour can help you understand the walls’ architecture, defence history and viewpoints. After the tour, you can spend more time at your favourite sections or continue exploring the Old Town at your own pace.

Food, culture and themed tours

If you are using your pass mainly for museums and bus travel, you can complement it with a culinary or themed tour. These experiences introduce local traditions, stories and flavours that fall outside the scope of the pass but pair well with cultural sightseeing.

The Dubrovnik Pass and guided tours together offer a balanced way to explore the city: the pass covers entrances and transport, while tours add deeper context and interpretation where helpful.

Practical tips and important rules

The Dubrovnik Pass is straightforward to use, but a few simple guidelines can help you get the most value from it. These tips focus on timing, activation and practical details that visitors often overlook.

Who the Dubrovnik Pass is best for

The pass works especially well for travellers who:

• plan to walk the City Walls and visit at least one or two museums
• expect to use local buses several times to move between the Old Town, Gruž or Lapad
• prefer the convenience of paying once instead of buying separate tickets
• are staying in Dubrovnik for at least a full day with time to explore cultural sites

Important rules to remember

• One-time entry: Each attraction included in the pass can be visited once during the validity period.
• Continuous validity: The 1-day, 3-day or 7-day countdown begins when you first use the pass at an attraction or on a bus.
• Digital or printed pass: You can show the QR code on your phone or as a printed copy; both are accepted at entrances.
• Bus card included: The bus card works for all city bus routes but not for airport transfers or suburban lines - see Dubrovnik suburban bus lines for those services.
• Seasonal changes: Included attractions, partner discounts and opening hours may vary by season, so it is wise to check updated information when you arrive.

Following these guidelines helps ensure you activate the pass at the right moment, visit the cultural sites most important to you and use the included bus travel to its full advantage.
