Passes Practical Tips
Key Tips
- If you plan to walk the city walls and use buses, the pass usually pays for itself in a single day
- Start early in the morning to avoid peak crowds at the City Walls, combine nearby museums on the same day, and use public transport to access areas outside the Old City efficiently
- During the summer the best is to avoid visiting City Walls between 11 a.m. till 3 p.m. because of the high heat
- Most official sales points now require credit cards; it is much faster and more reliable to have your card ready or buy your Dubrovnik Pass online in advance
- Activation happens when you first scan it on a bus or at the entrance to attractions; if you activate a 1-day pass at 7 am on Tuesday, it will be valid until 7 am on Wednesday, so plan your first use carefully
