Dubrovnik City Walls Admission Ticket
Description
No visit to Dubrovnik would be complete without a walk around city’s main claim to fame – spectacular city walls. Built in the 10th century these enormous walls, as high as six meters and up to six meters thick, provided a solid defence against invaders. With nearly 2 kilometres in length, these city walls offer a perfect spot for a casual stroll and mesmerizing views of Old Town and shimmering Adriatic. Other highlights include its two towers, the Minčeta Tower and the Bokar Tower, along with two forts, the Fort Lawrence and the Revelin Fortress. There are three access points to the walls: one close to the Dominican Monastery, one close to the Maritime Museum at Fort St. John and one at Pile Gate.

The Walls of Dubrovnik (Croatian: Dubrovačke gradske zidine) are a series of defensive stone walls surrounding the city of Dubrovnik in southern Croatia
Originally as a strong four-sided fort, it is the most prominent point in the defensive system towards the land.
The Fort Bokar is considered to be amongst the most beautiful instances of harmonious and functional fortification architecture.
The St. John Fortress (Croatian: Sveti Ivan) is a complex monumental building on the southeastern side of the old city port, controlling and protecting its entrance.
Fort Lovrijenac or St. Lawrence Fortress is a fortress and theater outside the western wall of the city of Dubrovnik in Croatia, 37 metres (121 ft) above sea level.

It may be a beautiful walk, but the cost of 40 euros per person is excessive. This wonderful city has now become a tourist trap.
If you’re a GOT fan, you definitely want to do this walk. Walking the city walls is a great way to take beautiful pictures and sight see while getting your steps in! Be ready for climbing stairs - there’s plenty of them. If you plan on walking the entire perimeter, it will take about 2-3 hours depending on how many stops you take for pics and take water with you! The month of May is a great time to go with less crowds and great weather. Lastly, do not throw away your tickets as there is a checkpoint midway through the walk.
This did not work. We needed to buy admission tickets to the city walls once we arrived. We used Tripadvisor for several other tours that worked well. By the way, this was supposed to be admission and self-guide only, not a guided tour. Hopefully will get a refund when I return home. The city walls walk was worth while.
Dubrovnik is a total tourist trap - and also a must see. The walls really are spectacular (even though they cost 40E). Can get crowded (and hot) so go early or late.
I had booked a guided tour with Viator for the city walls but it did not include the entrance fee, which I also booked through Viator. Viator only email me a voucher but not a QR code that is needed to gain entry. They were so unhelpful during the process and we ended up buying another set of tickets as we didn’t want to miss our tour. We kept going back and forth with the online customers service which was crap so we email our complaints. Less than a day later they refused us a refund and won’t give us a reason why. I won’t be booking another thing with them as they are not helpful if anything goes wrong. Be careful when dealing with this company Stop trying to put us off and deal with your customers properly
This sounds scary when 1000 steps are mentioned - but fear not - they come in smaller sessions :) The view from above is magic and for those taking it easy there are food/drink stations along the way.
Amazing views of ancient and present Dubrovnik! Definitely do it! Just make sure to go first thing in morning, before heat and crowds!
This specific booking requires you to print your ticket beforehand, but they only send it to you less than a day before. So, this seems to be an impossible ask for someone who had already arrived in country. A very unrealistic requirement in 2025 when scanning a phone is just as easy. It's easier and cheaper to book this at the gate
Aside from exploring the Old Town it is highly recommended to walk around by the city walls to see the stunning view of the Old Town from above, Lokrum Island and the Adriatic Sea. Picturesque in every angle of the Old Town.
While the wall experience was outstanding Viator are horrendous!! I want supplied with the voucher I needed to get in so had to buy a new ticket. This isn’t about the money more when connected them to advise I didn’t have the voucher they assured me that what I had would work, it didn’t! They claim to have reviewed all comms, but can’t see that the voucher sent on my end was just a “pic” not the actual voucher so I couldn’t click on it. I am extremely tech savvy so it’s not that I couldn’t work it. Be extremely careful when using this provider. They only work off paper, it’s 2025! And don’t see any wrong doing on their part or care.
