Why a Dubrovnik Pass is a Must-Have
4 minEveryone travelling to Dubrovnik wants to tour as many attractions as possible in the least amount of time. However, sightseeing and excursions, combined with dining, sometimes prove to be more pricey than planned prior to your visit to the destination. To make the optimal use of your time and money, you can opt for a Dubrovnik Pass. In this article, we bring you practical examples and ideas which will help you plan your Dubrovnik holiday as efficiently as possible.
What is the Dubrovnik Pass?
Dubrovnik designed the Dubrovnik Pass to act as a key to the wealth of sights and attractions found in the towns of Dubrovnik and Cavtat, with discounts and savings offered along the way. Depending on the length of your Dubrovnik holiday, you can choose between a 1-Day, a 3-Day or a 7-Day Dubrovnik Pass. The Dubrovnik Daily Pass is a unique ticket granting you free entry into nine cultural and historical sights of the City of Dubrovnik, such as the Rector’s Palace and the Maritime Museum. You can also take advantage of discounts in multiple restaurants, souvenir shops and on excursions, and you also have access to free public transport.
The Dubrovnik Daily Pass is priced at €35, which is the exact price of the Dubrovnik City Walls and the Lovrijenac Fort ticket. So, it’s clear – the Dubrovnik Daily Pass is well worth the investment, as you also benefit from additional advantages and discounts, getting more value for your money.
Ideas for Touring Sights and Museums with the DU Pass
The view from the Dubrovnik City walls
The beauty of the Dubrovnik City Walls is awe-inspiring, and during your tour, you will have plenty of opportunities for snapping photos. We recommend you visit the walls in the morning or after lunch to avoid peak temperatures during your tour, which could prevent you from fully enjoying the stunning panoramic view of the sea and the islands. In the old town of Dubrovnik – part of UNESCO’s World Heritage Sites since 1979 – you can also visit the Friars Minor pharmacy at the Franciscan Monastery, which is one of Europe’s oldest pharmacies and with the Dubrovnik Daily Pass, entry is free. Also, if you are intrigued by the interesting Love Stories Museum, we have good news – you can get a 10% discount.
Take Advantage of the Free Public Transport Option
Here is your reminder that, along with the discounts offered by the DU Pass when touring museums, sights and embarking on excursions, you also benefit from free public transport.
Free public transport is immensely important to guests staying in facilities outside of Dubrovnik’s city centre. If your accommodation is located in one of the Valamar’s holiday hotels on the peninsula of Babin Kuk, the most practical means of transportation is the city bus line 6. This option is attractive not only from a financial but also from a practical standpoint, seeing as you don’t have to worry about purchasing bus tickets if you opt for public transport.

Have you thought about surprising your better half with a troubadour tour of Dubrovnik, offering you the opportunity to experience the history of this impressive town accompanied by local love songs? In that case, we recommend the Tour of Dubrovnik with a Troubadour, and using the Dubrovnik Pass, you can get a 10% discount on this attractive offer. Spice up your holiday with a dash of romance – you won’t regret it.
Like many, you may also want to visit the stunning island of Lokrum, located only 600 metres from the Dubrovnik coast. Lokrum boasts lush green vegetation, turquoise waters and pristine nature, which is especially attractive to all those who love to bask in the sun and explore the outdoors. Since 1976, the island has been protected as a special forest vegetation reserve, seeing as you can find all the natural developmental stages of the flora of the Euro-Mediterranean region in this unique, small area. If you decide to visit the special forest vegetation reserve, you can get a 20% discount, only with the 3-Day Dubrovnik Pass, or a 30% discount, only with the 7-Day Dubrovnik Pass.

When you visit a new place, you must try the local gourmet specialities. Dubrovnik offers plenty of restaurants where you can enjoy both local and international cuisine, making sure that everyone is catered to. You can always opt for restaurants with a stunning view, though we suspect that you will probably need to plan a bit ahead and book your ideal view in advance.
If you want to take advantage of all of the benefits offered by the DU Pass and use your 10% discount, we recommend trying out the Bokar restaurant, which can be found by the Church of St Blaise, the renowned Taj Mahal restaurant offering Bosnian cuisine at two locations, and the Amoret restaurant which we have previously recommended.
If you want to discover the unique concept blending local gastronomy with historical and cultural sights, then we recommend you embark on the Dubrovnik Food Story, where you can also use your 10% discount.
