What can I do in Dubrovnik for free?
A lot of Dubrovnik costs nothing. Entry to the Old Town is free, and so are the Cathedral, the Church of St Blaise and every beach. You can walk Stradun and the Old Town squares, see Onofrio's fountains, Orlando's Column and the Old Port, join a free walking tour, browse the morning markets at Gundulić Square and Gruž, swim at public beaches such as Banje, hike up Mount Srđ to 412 metres for the view over the city, and walk the Lapad Peninsula. Young children get into the City Walls and Dubrovnik Museums free, and in early February the City Walls and Lokrum have opened free for everyone during the Feast of St Blaise.

Getting here and aroundHow do I take the ferry to Lokrum?
The official Lokrum boat leaves from Dubrovnik's Old Port (City Harbour). A EUR 30 adult ticket covers both the return boat and entry to the Lokrum Reserve, and you buy it at the Luža ticket office in the Old Port or online. On the current timetable, valid from 28 September 2026, boats leave the Old Port at 09:00 and then every 30 minutes from 10:00 to 17:00, and the last boat back from Lokrum leaves at 18:00. In bad weather the boat does not run.

NeighbourhoodsWhat is there to do in Dubrovnik Old Town?
Inside the walls you can walk the City Walls, stroll the 298-metre Stradun, visit the Rector's Palace, the Cathedral, the Church of St Blaise, the Franciscan and Dominican monasteries and the Synagogue, and see the Old Port, Onofrio's fountains and Orlando's Column. Entry to the Old Town itself is free, and so is entry to the Cathedral and the Church of St Blaise, and one full day is enough to see it all. The main paid sights are the City Walls (EUR 40 for adults from March to November 2026) and the museums, such as the Rector's Palace (EUR 15). The 1-day Dubrovnik Pass (EUR 40) covers the walls and most of the museums.

Getting here and aroundHow do I get from Dubrovnik Airport to the Old Town?
The easiest way is the official Platanus shuttle bus. It costs EUR 10 one way, leaves about 30 minutes after every arriving flight and stops at Ploče Gate, the main entrance to the Old Town, roughly 30 minutes later. A taxi costs around EUR 40 to 60 and makes sense for groups or heavy luggage. The airport is 22.5 km from Dubrovnik, and the drive usually takes 30 to 35 minutes, or up to an hour in summer.
