Three days in Dubrovnik is the perfect amount of time to explore the Old Town, eat plenty of ice cream, and even take a day trip to a nearby island if you’re feeling adventurous!
Dubrovnik is a city that’s gained immense popularity in recent years thanks to it playing host to many filming locations for hundreds of Game of Thrones scenes. Unfortunately, this surge in tourism means that it’s now one of the busiest cities in Europe during the summer months which can be a little overwhelming, especially considering that it’s a relatively small place.
Thankfully, visiting Dubrovnik in the low season months such as May/June and September/October means that it’s much quieter and therefore much more enjoyable. We spent 3 days in Dubrovnik in mid-October and it was the perfect time to visit! The weather was still very pleasant with average daily temperatures of around 20°C, there were fewer crowds and prices weren’t quite as sky-high as they are in the summer months.
If you’re looking for the perfect Dubrovnik 3-day itinerary, I’ve got just the post for you! In my ultimate guide below, I’ve included all the best things to do in Dubrovnik in 3 days, plus the best Dubrovnik Game of Thrones filming locations, where to eat, how to get there, and more!

How to get to Dubrovnik
If you’re flying straight to Dubrovnik from the UK (or from anywhere else in Europe), you can usually get direct flights for around £70 return in the low season and usually around £120-£150 return in the summer months.
We flew from Manchester to Dubrovnik in mid-October and paid £70 each for a one-way flight with hand luggage only with EasyJet. We booked just five days before we flew to Dubrovnik, which is why it was a little bit more expensive. We also only booked one way as we spent one month in Split after our 3 days in Dubrovnik.

Once you land at Dubrovnik Airport, it’s super easy to get to the Old Town. There is a shuttle bus company called Planatus that runs buses from the airport to the Old Town every 30 minutes after a flight lands. One-way tickets cost 65kn and return tickets cost 90kn; if you’re flying back out of Dubrovnik, it’s definitely worth getting the return option.
The bus drops you off at the very edge of the Old Town next to Ploče Gate (Vrata od Ploča), so if you’re staying in the Old Town, it’s super convenient.
If you’re travelling to Dubrovnik from Split (or vice versa), you can take advantage of numerous local buses or you can use Flixbus. We’ve used Flixbus in countries all over the world, including in the USA and Asia and they’re a pretty good mid-range bus company to use in Dubrovnik, too. A one-way bus ticket from Split to Dubrovnik costs between €15 and €20 for the four-hour bus journey.
Where to stay in Dubrovnik in 3 days
The city of Dubrovnik itself is actually pretty sizeable, but you’ll likely be focusing most of your time in the Old Town, so I’d highly recommend staying within the city walls, or just outside.
Of course, staying in the heart of the Old Town is more expensive than staying outside the city walls, but I think it’s worth doing if your budget permits as it’s such a magical and ethereal place to stay.
We stayed in an Airbnb in the Old Town during our three days in Dubrovnik, but there are also tonnes of hotels, B&Bs and other apartments located in the Old Town on Booking.com as well!

Booking.comDay 1 – What to see in Dubrovnik in 3 days
Is 3 days enough in Dubrovnik?
Three days in Dubrovnik gives you plenty of time to see and do everything in the Old Town, as well as take a day trip to nearby islands as well.
You could probably see a lot in Dubrovnik in 2 days as well, but you’d likely have to forgo a day trip and 4 days in Dubrovnik would likely be too much as it’s not a huge place, so a 3-day Dubrovnik itinerary is the perfect amount of time to see this gorgeous Croatian city!
Check out my ultimate guide on how to spend 3 days in Dubrovnik below!
Breakfast at Mlinar
I want to caveat this 3-day itinerary by saying that Dubrovnik is expensive, particularly when it comes to food and drink.
A pint of beer or a glass of wine costs between €5 and €8, whereas a meal at a decent/reputable restaurant, will cost upwards of €12 per person, with some dishes often costing €30+!
Therefore, during our three days in Dubrovnik, we tried to save as much money on food and drink as possible, while still enjoying the local cuisine.
One relatively cheap breakfast place that we found in Dubrovnik (with branches all over Croatia as well) is a little bakery called Mlinar. They serve traditional Balkan breakfast and lunch snacks such as burek, croissants, sandwiches and a variety of other sweet and savoury pastries.
We actually ate here for breakfast twice during our 3 nights in Dubrovnik as it was a good, easy and cheap place for breakfast food.
- Ham croissant 22.36kn
- Chicken Burek 21.10kn
- Chicken sausage roll 18.08kn
St Saviour Church (Church of St. Salvation)
Your three days in Dubrovnik officially begin with a quick peek at the Church of St. Salvation. Located next to one of the main entrances to the city walls, this church dates all the way back to the 1500s.
Although it’s arguably one of the city’s lesser-known religious sites, it’s still worth adding to your 3-day Dubrovnik itinerary due to its super close proximity to the walls.
Dubrovnik City Walls – 3 days in Dubrovnik itinerary
The City Walls are one of the best and most popular attractions in the whole of Dubrovnik and while I’d heard great things about them, I wasn’t sure whether they’d actually live up to my expectations.
My hometown of York also has its own city walls and while they’re certainly very impressive, they’re nothing compared to Dubrovnik’s version!
The Walls of Dubrovnik were originally built in the 13th century and an additional 15 towers were built in the 15th century as part of the city walls. There were also four original gates that acted as a means into the city, with Pile Gate and Ploče Gate still remaining today.
There are several entrances to access the walls, with the best place being next to St Saviour Church. They operate on a one-way system and there are several points where you have to get off the walls and then rejoin them due to broken parts of the fortress.
It takes at least an hour to walk around the entirety of the Old Town via the City Walls, but it’s advisable to give yourself a bit longer (around 2 hours) to make sure you can stop at all the viewpoints and really soak it all in.
You get an incredible vantage point of the whole Old Town, as well as out to Lovrijenac Fortress, Lokrum Island, the harbour and out to sea.
Unfortunately, the City Walls of Dubrovnik are not wheelchair or pushchair accessible as there are lots of steps to climb and the paths along the walls are very winding and narrow. It’s also good to note that it gets remarkably hot on top of the walls, especially in the peak summer months, so make sure you’re equipped with a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, good walking shoes and plenty of water.
Are the Dubrovnik City Walls worth it?
Tickets to the Walls of Dubrovnik costs 250kn (approximately €33) per person. When I first read this, I was so shocked at how expensive it was, especially considering the City Walls in York are completely free!
However, after a lot of research, we concluded that the Dubrovnik City Walls were worth paying for, so we did! Instead of buying a single ticket entrance to the walls, however, we purchased the Dubrovnik Pass…
Is the Dubrovnik Pass worth it?
The Dubrovnik Pass is another thing that I’d heard about but I wasn’t sure it was worth it until we discovered that the price of the Pass is the same price as the ticket to go on just the walls alone.
The Dubrovnik Daily Pass costs the same as the entrance to the City Walls (250kn – €33), and it includes entrance to the walls, as well as several other attractions in the city.
What’s included in the Dubrovnik Pass?
- City Walls
- Rector’s Palace/Cultural History Museum
- Maritime Museum
- Friars Minor Franciscan Monastery
- Ethnographic Museum
- Museum of Modern Art Dubrovnik
- Plus six more attractions!
If you plan to go on the Walls of Dubrovnik and visit at least one other attraction as well, it’s 100% worth buying the Dubrovnik Pass as you save so much money.
Minčeta Fortress (Tvrđava Minčeta)
Part of the City Walls, Minčeta Fortress (Tvrđava Minčeta) was (and still technically is) the highest point of the city’s defence system and it remains almost completely intact today.
The tower is deceivingly high and very tricky to get to the top; there’s a super narrow staircase leading to the viewing platform at the top and while it will quite literally take your breath away, it’s worth it for the awesome views of the Old Town from above.
*Game of Thrones filming location in Dubrovnik*
Minčeta Fortress is the first Game of Thrones filming location that you’ll see during your 3 days in Dubrovnik and avid fans will recognise it as the House of Undying in the town of Qarth where Daenerys Targaryen is looking for her stolen dragons in season two.
Lunch at Pub Dubrovnik
Once you’ve worked up an appetite walking around the City Walls, it’s time to head for a spot of lunch at Pub Dubrovnik.
Located at the bottom of the Jesuit Stairs, Pub Dubrovnik offers a mixture of both Croatian/Balkan cuisine, as well as many international no-frills dishes. You’ll find things like burgers, risotto, sandwiches, salads, bruschetta and dozens of spirits, beer, wine and more.
There’s both indoor and outdoor seating and it’s a great place to grab a coffee, a bite to eat or even a cocktail.
- Prosciutto and cheese mix platter for one 104kn
- French fries 44kn
- Iced americano 34kn
Rector’s Palace – 3 days in Dubrovnik itinerary
At this point, I’m assuming that you’ve purchased the Dubrovnik Pass so it’s time to head to more of the attractions that are included as part of the pass.
The Rector’s Palace is one of those attractions and it resides right in the heart of the Old Town, mere metres from other attractions such as St Blaise’s Church and Stradun.
It used to serve as the seat of the Rector of the Republic of Ragusa between the 14th and 18th centuries and it was also the seat of the Minor Council and the state administration. Today, the Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque-inspired building houses the Cultural History Museum, with exhibits such as photographs from the war in the early 1990s, as well as state collections, antique furniture, paintings, sculptures and more.
It’s certainly not the most enthralling museum in the world and you don’t need to spend very long there, but it’s worth having a nosey around if you’ve purchased the Dubrovnik Card.
*Game of Thrones filming location in Dubrovnik*
The Rector’s Palace is another Game of Thrones filming location in Dubrovnik and it features in a scene in season two when Daenerys visits the Spice King’s mansion.
Franciscan Church and Monastery
A visit to the Franciscan Church and Monastery is also included in the price of the Dubrovnik Pass and it comprises a friary, church, library and pharmacy.
You don’t need to spend too long at the monastery and church as it’s a pretty small space, but it’s worth seeing the beautiful cloisters and the ancient pharmacy that’s still in operation today!
Maritime Museum (Pomorski muzej)
The Maritime Museum is another attraction that’s included as part of the Dubrovnik Pass and while I’m glad to have seen it as part of the pass, I wouldn’t necessarily recommend paying to visit it on its own as it’s pretty underwhelming.
If you’re a fan of all things maritime, ships and sea, then you might enjoy a brief visit to this museum, but otherwise, just pop your head inside for a quick 5-minute look around!
Sunset at Bard Mala Buža – 3 days in Dubrovnik itinerary
There are several great places to enjoy the sunset in Dubrovnik, with Bard Mala Buža being one of them.
This gorgeous little find appears to be a secret gem as it’s tucked away behind a “hidden” entrance, but once you go through the doorway, you’ll find it to be a bustling place to drink and watch the sunset.
As we visited in October, it wasn’t too overcrowded, but I reckon it gets very busy during the summer months, so make sure you arrive in plenty of time to get a good spot to watch the sunset. You also don’t necessarily need to purchase a drink here, as there’s a rocky platform underneath the bar where you can sit and enjoy the view for free.
You can find the exact Google Maps link to the bar here as it can be easily confused with Buža Bar, which I’ve also recommended below…
Dinner at Pizzeria Mamma Margherita
Pizzeria Mamma Margherita is a great place to enjoy dinner during your first day in Dubrovnik as they offer a fantastic range of pizza, pasta and other Italian dishes.
I went for the spaghetti carbonara (approx £12) and Matt had the prosciutto pizza (approx £14) and both dishes were super yummy.
It’s also located in the very heart of the Old Town, down one of the many adorable narrow streets and if you can grab a table outside, it makes for a wonderful al fresco dining experience.
- White wine small 40kn
- Large beer 50kn
- Spaghetti carbonara 100kn
- Pizza with prosciutto 120kn
Day 2 – 3 days in Dubrovnik itinerary itinerary
Day 2 of your 3-day Dubrovnik itinerary involves exploring more of the Old Town, as well as enjoying some of the city’s cuisine!
Breakfast at Mlinar (again)
As I mentioned above, the food in Dubrovnik can be a little expensive, so we decided to eat at Mlinar again for breakfast on our second day, something which we very rarely do unless we’re spending an extended period of time in a place as we like to try as many different restaurants as possible.
However, the food here is super cheap compared to the breakfast options at a sit-down restaurant, so it’s a good option to bear in mind if you’re trying to keep costs down while visiting Dubrovnik.
Explore the Old Town
The Old Town of Dubrovnik isn’t very big and it can be easily explored in one day.
Below, you’ll find my recommendations of the best things to see and do in the Old Town during your 3 days in Dubrovnik.
Church of St. Ignatius
The first stop on day 2 of your three days in Dubrovnik is the Church of St. Ignatius, situated just at the top of the Jesuit Stairs.
Our Airbnb apartment was located just around the corner from this magnificent church and we were lucky enough to see a wedding happening while we were there.
Jesuit Stairs – 3 days in Dubrovnik itinerary
The Jesuit Stairs are one of the most notable and famed attractions within the Old Town of Dubrovnik, largely due to their involvement in a major Game of Thrones scene.
The Baroque-style stairs were there long before any GOT crew members came to town, however, as they date all the way back to the 17th century.
They’re actually taller and steeper than I expected and it’s worth having your camera to hand both at the bottom and the top of the stairs so that you can get a great vantage point from both angles.
*Game of Thrones filming location in Dubrovnik*
GOT fans will recognise the Jesuit Stairs as the place where Cersei’s infamous “Walk of Shame” scene took place in season five. In the summer months, the stairs are positively teeming with tourists, so if you want to try and take a picture with very few people around, be sure to head there super early in the morning.
The Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary
Once you’ve seen the infamous stairs, check out Dubrovnik’s Cathedral, known as The Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary.
Dating back to the 1670s, this cathedral is situated just a 1-minute walk from the Rector’s Palace and due to its substantial size, it’s hard to miss! You can also go inside and have a respectful walk around the cathedral, but it’s arguably most impressive from the outside.
Porporela – 3 days in Dubrovnik
Enjoy a wander around Porporela; the pier and breakwater in the city’s Old Harbour.
It was originally built as a means to reduce the intensity of the waves from hitting the boats and ships parked in the harbour and it’s still a useful contraption today.
Despite housing many boats, the water in the harbour is unfathomably blue and clear; just look at the picture above!
The harbour next to Porporela is also where you can hire boats for the day or book day trips to nearby islands, something worth bearing in mind when heading into day 3 of this Dubrovnik itinerary…
St Blaise’s Church
St Blaise’s Church is another 17th-century piece of architecture in the heart of the city and it also resembles the classic Venetian-Baroque style that many of the buildings in Dubrovnik are famed for.
As it’s situated right in the centre of the Old Town, it cannot be missed and it looks truly beautiful both during the day and at night, inside and out.
Dubrovnik Bell Tower (Clocktower)
The Dubrovnik Clocktower/Bell Tower resides in Luža Square at the end of Stradun (the main street running through the Old Town).
It originates from the 15th century and today it can be seen all over the Old Town, as well as most notably from the City Walls. If you’re around the Clocktower at midday, you’ll hear its familiar chimes ringing through the city.
Stradun
Stradun is the main street in Dubrovnik and it’s a pedestrian-only walkway that runs for approximately 300m from the Clocktower towards Pile Gate.
Along Stradun, you’ll find many of the Old Town’s famous alleyways peeling off to both sides and while it can get seriously busy down the street in the height of the summer months, it is a gorgeous part of the city that’s worth braving the crowds for.
Ice cream at Gelateria Dubrovnik
One thing I didn’t realise about Dubrovnik (or in fact, Croatia as a whole) is that they are obsessed with ice cream! I truly don’t think I’ve ever seen so many ice cream shops in one place or so many people eating it at any given time (apart from maybe in Italy!).
We tried a few different ice cream parlours during our 3 days in Dubrovnik (including the little bakery at Dubravka 1836 just outside the city walls near Pile Gate), but the best one was Gelateria Dubrovnik.
They have dozens of flavours to choose from for around €2 a scoop and the scoops are pretty substantial! I had two flavours; orange and salted caramel and Matt had lemon and strawberry and every single flavour was heavenly! They also had numerous vegan and dairy-free options as well which is always an added bonus.
Large Onofrio’s Fountain (Velika Onofrijeva Fontana)
The next stop on day 2 of your Dubrovnik itinerary is Large Onofrio’s Fountain, located at the Pile Gate end of Stradun.
It was originally built in the early 1430s and while of course it’s gone through a lot of restoration work over the years, the fountain that stands today is in almost-pristine condition. It was once used as part of the water supply system in Dubrovnik and the 16-sided fountain is complete with stone-carved masks, with a small seating area around the entirety of its base.
Pile Gate
Pile Gate is one of two main gates that still remain as access points to the Old Town of Dubrovnik. Located on the west side of the Old Town, Pile Gate once had a wooden drawbridge that provided access to the city. It’s since been replaced by a stone bridge, but it still looks incredibly medieval.
*Game of Thrones filming location in Dubrovnik*
It’s clear to see why Pile Gate was used as yet another filming location in Dubrovnik for the Game of Thrones series. It predominantly features in season two when the Lannisters are saying goodbye to Princess Myrcella when she is sent away to Dorne.
Sunset at Buža Bar (“Cold drinks with the most beautiful view”)
Once you’ve seen Pile Gate and had a nosey around the outside of the Old Town, it’s time to head back inside the walled city for another top sunset spot in Dubrovnik.
Not to be confused with Bard Mala Buža, Buža Bar (AKA the place known as “Cold drinks with the most beautiful view”) is a cliffside bar, an excellent sunset view spot and a place where cliff divers go to seek their thrills!
Naturally, as it’s such a top location for sunset in Dubrovnik, it’s not the cheapest place to eat or drink, but you don’t necessarily have to buy anything; you can just head down towards the rocky platform and enjoy the breathtaking views.
Dinner at Taj Mahal Old Town
To conclude day 2 of your 3-day Dubrovnik itinerary, it’s time to visit one of the most popular and highly sought-after restaurants in Dubrovnik; the Taj Mahal.
Despite its very misleading name, the Taj Mahal restaurant in the Old Town actually serves traditional Bosnian/Balkan cuisine, not Indian cuisine! It’s certainly not a cheap place to eat in the city, but it was our favourite restaurant during our 3-day trip to Dubrovnik and I’d highly recommend adding it to your list of places to eat in Dubrovnik.
If you’ve never eaten Eastern European cuisine before, the menu might seem a little confusing at first as you’ll be greeted with dishes such as kajmak, burek, ćevapi, sudžukica and more. If you’re struggling to know what to order, the staff are incredibly accommodating and will be more than happy to help you decide.
We settled on the “Genghis Khan” plate for two people which consisted of ćevapi (grilled mince meat sausages), chicken kebab, pljeskavica (hamburger), suđukica (grilled sausage), rump steak and chicken. It was served with a side of fries, homemade bread, pickled red onions and coleslaw and it was delicious.
The platter was more than enough food for two people and while it was pretty expensive (approximately £45 for 2), it was probably the best thing we ate during our three days in Dubrovnik and I would highly recommend this dish if you visit Taj Mahal!
- Genghis Khan plate 390kn
- Beer 55kn
- Tap water 25kn
Day 3 – Dubrovnik 3-day itinerary
Your final day in Dubrovnik will involve even more sightseeing, exploring and good food before you have to bid farewell to this beautiful Balkan city!
Cats of Dubrovnik – 3 days in Dubrovnik itinerary
Seeing the “cats of Dubrovnik” isn’t strictly something that you have to carve out time for as you’ll likely see so many just wandering around the city during your 3 days in Dubrovnik anyway.
However, I wanted to give the city’s many cats their own individual spot on this Dubrovnik itinerary, largely because the pictures above are so cute, but also because I wanted to address the fact that there are so many cats in the city, so if you’re a cat person, you’re sure to appreciate this point!
Ploče Gate (Vrata od Ploča)
Your final day in Dubrovnik officially begins at Ploče Gate, and if you’re staying in the Old Town, you’ll leave via this gate to get to the next stop of the day.
Located at the opposite end of the Old Town to Pile Gate, Ploče Gate acts as the eastern entrance to Dubrovnik’s walled city and it boasts stunning views out to the harbour from the stone bridge.
*Game of Thrones filming location in Dubrovnik*
Ploče Gate was featured numerous times as a filming location for Game of Thrones in Dubrovnik, most notably in season two and again in season five when Cersei enters the Red Keep after her “Walk of Shame”.
Early lunch at FO.RA Focaccia Ragusa
On day three’s itinerary, I’m assuming that you’ll either skip breakfast (like we did) or you’ll grab something to eat in the Old Town before commencing the day’s activities.
Either way, head to FO.RA Focaccia Ragusa just outside of the city walls for an early lunch. The restaurant opens at midday every day, so head there as soon as you get hungry.
Specialising in gourmet sandwiches made from delicious focaccia bread, FO.RA Focaccia Ragusa is one of the more expensive lunch places in Dubrovnik, but one that’s very much worth the money (in my opinion!).
A sandwich will set you back between £8 and £15, so it’s definitely not a quick Tesco Meal Deal, but the sandwiches are truly phenomenal. I had the “Grintavičina” which consisted of pulled pašticada (traditional Dalmatian beef that’s marinated in garlic, cloves, wine and onions – it is so good!), gravy, cheese and onions. It might sound a little unusual, but it’s one of the best sandwiches I’ve had in a very long time!
- Fresh lemonade 30kn
- Fresh orange 30kn
- Petegulona 78kn
- Grintavičina 118kn
Half-day trip to Lokrum Island
Once you’ve fuelled yourself for the day, it’s time to venture out of the city on a half-day trip to the nearby island of Lokrum.
There are several ways in which you can visit Lokrum Island, including simply heading to Porat Dubrovnik (in the harbour) where you can take a local ferry for around 150kn per person.
Ferries run from Dubrovnik to Lokrum between May and October, with boats leaving approximately every half an hour in the summer months between 10 AM and 5 PM and every hour or so between 10 AM and 3 PM in the off-season. You can check the full timetable here.
Once you arrive at Lokrum Island, you can explore its shores on your own, enjoy even more ice cream and check out the Iron Throne if you’re a GOT fan!
Alternative – Kayak tour around Dubrovnik and Lokrum Island
If a simple boat trip doesn’t appeal to you, you can rent a kayak for half a day and take a guided tour from Dubrovnik around the island.
You can also book a sunset kayaking tour which looked utterly magical and I’m sure it’s a wonderful thing to do as a couple in Dubrovnik!
Dubrovnik West Harbour and Pier
Upon arriving back on dry land, head to Dubrovnik’s West Harbour and Pier for the next part of your adventure.
In the summer, this part of the city can get pretty crowded with tours due to its Game of Thrones link, but the pier and harbour are a beautiful part of the city that should be enjoyed, even if you do have to battle the crowds!
*Game of Thrones filming location in Dubrovnik*
Game of Thrones fans will almost certainly recognise this pier as a filming location throughout the series as it features as “Blackwater Bay” in several scenes.
Lovrijenac Fortress – 3 days in Dubrovnik
Sitting proudly above the West Harbour and Pier resides the astonishing Lovrijenac Fortress. Perched atop a cliff, this fortress offers spectacular views of the Old Town and out to sea and while it can be a little exhausting to climb to the top, it’s 100% worth it for the views.
There’s also a “secret” viewpoint from the garden area on the way up to Lovrijenac Fortress that boasts views of some of the clearest blue water I’ve ever seen.
You can go inside the fortress itself for 50kn or you can just enjoy the scenery from several viewpoints on the way up.
*Game of Thrones filming location in Dubrovnik*
Fort Lovrijenac played the part of the “Red Keep” in many scenes throughout the hit TV series, including in season two during King Joffrey’s name day.
Dinner at Konoba Jezuite
For the final meal of your 3-day Dubrovnik itinerary, head to Konoba Jezuite. Located at the top of the Jesuit Stairs, with a perfect view of the Church of St. Ignatius from its outdoor dining area, Konoba Jezuite is a great little eatery in the city that offers a variety of Western and Eastern European dishes.
I had the beef slices sandwich which was served with cheese, arugula, mustard sauce, marinated vegetables and fries. Even though it was pretty simple, it was utterly delicious and it made for a great last meal during our 3 days in Dubrovnik.
(Bonus – ride the Dubrovnik Cable Car)
There are certainly plenty of things to do in this 3-day Dubrovnik itinerary, but I wanted to add a bonus thing to do in Dubrovnik in case you feel like you could squeeze one more activity in.
During our three days in Dubrovnik, we debated many times whether to go on the Cable Car that takes you to the top of the nearby hill at an elevation of 778m. The views looked very impressive from all the pictures that we saw, but when we discovered that it’s less than a 5-minute ride and it costs 110,00kn (approx €15) for a one-way ticket or 200kn (approx €26.50) for a return, we couldn’t really justify the cost.
Not only that, but the views that you can enjoy from the City Walls and Lovrijenac Fortress are incredible, so we didn’t feel the need to pay even more money to go a bit higher above the city. However, I wanted to include it in this 3-day Dubrovnik itinerary in case you decided that it was worth the money – if you do ride the Dubrovnik Cable Car, please let me know whether it was worth it!
