WALK THE WALL OF OLD TOWN

Walk the wall!

It is around 35 euros per person, however, we would suggest you get a Dubrovnik Pass. The cost for a 3 day pass is 33 euro, or 55 euro for a week. This includes free bus passes, city walls, dubrovnik national history museum and many more sights. It is definitely worth it!

When walking the city walls, you will see once in a lifetime panoramic views of the city as well as the Adriatic Sea. Please note that there are a lot of stairs and it can be quite warm in August. It is best to walk the wall early morning or late afternoon. You will find the website for the Dubrovnik pass below.

Lokrum is the most beautiful island, just a 10-minute ferry from Dubrovnik Old Town. The journey over there is one of the most stunning across crystal clear waters and the whole island is a nature reserve. Boats depart on the hour from 10am to 5pm, 7 days a week. You can buy ferry tickets from the ticket booth marked “Lokrum Ferry” as you enter the port from the Old Town. The booth opens at 8:30 am. Tickets cost around 27 euros per person. We have listed a few reasons why you should visit Lokrum Island.

1. The most beautiful views.

2. There are peacocks around the island.

3. You can sit and take a picture of the GOT throne.

4. Visit the monastery.

5. Swim in the Lokrum Dead Sea.


We highly recommend everyone to bring snorkels and water shoes (you may find sea urchins!) whenever you are going into the sea anywhere in Croatia. The crystal clear waters are amazing, you wouldn't want to miss it!

One of the best ways to see Dubrovnik’s Old Town is definitely from above. The Dubrovnik Cable Car station is just outside the Old Town, but the journey provides a birds-eye view of the ancient streets. However, the real highlight is when the cable car reaches the top. Visitors can look over the entire area, the red-roofed city beautifully contrasting with the expanse of the blue Adriatic. It’s particularly popular at sunset when the whole scene is bathed in a beautiful golden glow. It is 27 euro a round trip.
