Dubrovnik Pass 2026

Last updated: July 2026

If you’re planning to explore Dubrovnik properly — the city walls, a couple of museums, maybe a bus ride or two — the Dubrovnik Pass is very likely the best-value ticket you can buy. Also known as the Dubrovnik Card, it’s the official city pass issued by TIC Dubrovnik, the local tourist board, and it bundles the Old Town’s headline attractions with free public transport into a single QR code. This guide breaks down the 2026 Dubrovnik Pass price, exactly what’s included at each tier, and whether the pass is worth it for your trip.

The key insight: the 1-day Dubrovnik Pass costs €40 — the same as a single city walls ticket. The moment you add anything else to your day — a museum, the Fort Lovrijenac visit, a bus ride from the port — the pass has already paid for itself.

What is the Dubrovnik Pass?

The Dubrovnik Pass (or Dubrovnik Card) is the official sightseeing pass for the city, issued by TIC Dubrovnik. It gives you free entry to the city walls and a set of museums and galleries, plus unlimited free rides on the city’s Libertas buses, all for a single fixed price. It comes in three durations — 1-day, 3-day, and 7-day — and activates on first use, running continuously from that moment.

For Game of Thrones fans, the pass has an extra appeal: it covers Fort Lovrijenac (the Red Keep, €15 without the pass), the Rector’s Palace (the Spice King’s residence in Qarth, €15 without), and the Ethnographic Museum (Littlefinger’s brothel exterior). Combined with the city walls, those paid GoT sites alone would cost €70+ if purchased separately — and the 1-day pass costs €40.

Dubrovnik Pass prices (2026)

Children under 7 enter and travel free throughout. The pass activates the first time you scan it at a bus stop or attraction entrance and then runs continuously — it cannot be paused.

What’s included in the Dubrovnik Pass?

Every tier shares the same core inclusions, with the longer passes adding valuable extras on top.

Included in all passes (1, 3 & 7-day)

• Dubrovnik City Walls — the star attraction and the best way to see King’s Landing from above. Worth €40 on its own.
• Fort Lovrijenac — the clifftop fortress that plays the Red Keep in Game of Thrones. Entry is normally €15 extra (or free with a City Walls ticket).
• 6 museums, including the Rector’s Palace (Cultural History Museum), the Maritime Museum, and the Ethnographic Museum (Rupe).
• 2 art galleries
• Free public bus travel on all Libertas city lines, including the route from Gruž port to the Old Town and services between Lapad, Babin Kuk, and the city centre.
• Discounts on selected restaurants, shops, and Dubrovnik Summer Festival performances.

Added with the 3-day pass

• 3 days of unlimited bus travel
• 1 museum in nearby Cavtat
• 20% off the Lokrum Island ferry and entrance fee

Added with the 7-day pass

• 7 days of unlimited bus travel
• 30% off the Lokrum Island ferry (up from 20% on the 3-day)
• 30% off Mljet National Park boat and park entry
• The Raçić Mausoleum in Cavtat

What’s not included

• The Srđ cable car (the ride up the mountain for the panoramic King’s Landing view)
• Airport bus transfers
• The Lokrum Island ferry itself — you get a discount with the 3- and 7-day passes, but entry is not free at any tier
• Guided tours of any kind (including Game of Thrones walking tours)

Watch out for lookalikes. Some third-party booking sites advertise a “Dubrovnik City Pass” at €55–75 that claims to include the cable car. This is a different, repackaged product — the official Dubrovnik Pass costs €40/€50/€60 and does not include the cable car. Always buy from the official source: TIC Dubrovnik.

Where to buy the Dubrovnik Pass

You can get the Dubrovnik tourist pass two ways:

1. Online — buy on the official Dubrovnik Pass website and receive a digital QR code by email. This is the easiest option and the best for planning ahead; some online purchases come with a small discount versus the walk-up price.
2. In person — at 30+ locations around the city, including the tourist information offices at Pile Gate, Gruž (the cruise and ferry port), Lapad, and Cavtat, plus many hotels and travel agencies.

The pass activates on first use — the first time you scan it on a bus or at an attraction — and then runs continuously for 24, 72, or 168 hours. Start it on a day you plan to sightsee actively. There is no way to pause or freeze the clock once started.

Is the Dubrovnik Pass worth it?

For most visitors, yes — comfortably. The maths are unusually straightforward for a city pass:

• The city walls alone cost €40 — the same as the 1-day pass.
• Add Fort Lovrijenac (€15 without a walls ticket), the Rector’s Palace (€15), and two bus rides (€2 each) and you’ve spent €72 on a day the pass costs €40.
• The 3-day pass at €50 adds six museums, two galleries, three days of buses, and a 20% Lokrum discount for just €10 more than a single walls ticket.

The pass makes the most sense for:

• First-time visitors who want the walls plus a couple of museums in a single day
• Anyone using the buses — especially if your hotel is in Lapad or Babin Kuk, or you’re arriving at Gruž port
• 3+ day stays, where the €50 three-day pass covers everything a long weekend of active sightseeing can throw at it
• Game of Thrones fans ticking off King’s Landing filming sites — the pass covers walls, Fort Lovrijenac (Red Keep), Rector’s Palace (Spice King), and the Ethnographic Museum (Littlefinger’s brothel) in one bundle

When the pass is less useful:

• Very short cruise stops where you’ll only walk the walls — a single walls ticket is equally valid and simpler
• Families with young children, since under-7s are already free everywhere and the relative saving on older children’s tickets is smaller

Dubrovnik Pass vs. buying tickets separately

Consider a typical two-day sightseeing itinerary. Buying separately:

The saving here is €23 on a fairly modest two-day sightseeing plan. Add more museums, galleries, or extra bus journeys and the gap widens further.

Pair it with a Game of Thrones walking tour

The Dubrovnik Pass is excellent value for entry tickets — but it doesn’t include a guide. Fort Lovrijenac (the Red Keep), Rector’s Palace (Qarth’s Spice King), and the city walls themselves are far more rewarding when a licensed guide puts them in Game of Thrones context: the exact camera positions, the behind-the-scenes production stories, and the live comparison shots. Group GoT walking tours start at $23 and pair perfectly with a Dubrovnik Pass day — use the pass for entries, the guide for stories.

The verdict

The Dubrovnik Pass is one of the rare city passes that’s genuinely worth it for almost everyone, precisely because its entry price matches the cost of the must-do city walls. Add museums, Fort Lovrijenac, and free buses, and the value stacks up fast. For anyone spending a day or more actively exploring Dubrovnik — and especially Game of Thrones fans working through their King’s Landing checklist — it’s the smartest first purchase of the trip.

Combine it with a Game of Thrones walking tour for the stories the pass can’t tell, add the Lokrum Island ferry for the Qarth locations and Iron Throne photo, and you have a near-complete King’s Landing day for well under €100.

Prices and inclusions are verified for the 2026 season but can change. Always confirm current details on the official Dubrovnik Pass website before purchasing.
