Dubrovnik City Card – save time and money

Written by  Jan 24, 2016

Looking to save time and money whilst visiting Dubrovnik, the answer is simple; get your hands on a Dubrovnik City Card. Following the example of other tourist destinations around the world the city of Dubrovnik has its own “City Card”. Other major tourist destinations on the Mediterranean such as Venice and Barcelona have had a city card for a few years and with the card Dubrovnik has added another interesting offer for guests to the city. With this card tourists are able to receive various discounts throughout the city.

The Dubrovnik City Card offers tourists to the city a host of options including discounts and free entry to sights in the city. The card is available for sale at all the Dubrovnik Tourist Board offices as well as most of the hotels, travel agencies and attractions. In total the card is available at 47 different outlets throughout Dubrovnik. There is a choice of one day, three day and a weekly card. The one-day card costs 170 Kunas, the three-day card is 250 Kuna and the seven day card 350 Kuna. Holders of the card will receive free entrance to eight cultural institutions including the Dubrovnik City Walls, the Marine and Natural History Museum, the Home of Marin Držić, the Rector's Palace and the Museum Rupe. But that’s not all!

The daily card, one-day card, also offers guests 24 hour use of the public transport system in Dubrovnik whilst holders of the three-day card can use the buses ten times and the seven-day card are allowed to use the buses twenty times for free. For tourists to the city it is extremely practical because it saves both time and money when visiting the city sights and travelling around the city.

Just do the maths – entrance onto the Dubrovnik City Walls is 100 Kunas (this may soon rise to 120), entrance into a museum is around 80 Kunas, a bus ticket is 15 Kunas. This means that if you catch the bus into the Old City, visit the walls and two museums and catch the bus back to your accommodation you be spending 290 Kunas. Buy a one-day Dubrovnik City Card and you’ll spend 170 Kunas...almost half the price...makes sense.

The card has already received praise from tourists visiting the city with one Austrian tourist commenting “great, this is a positive step and a perfect idea.” And another tourist from the UK commented “the card, especially the seven day card, seems to make good monetary sense, just twenty bus tickets totals 300 Kunas.” Also restaurants, cafés and souvenir shops offer special discounts for card holders.

If you want to save even more money, and who doesn’t, you can purchase the Dubrovnik City Card online at their website where each card is even cheaper, 10 percent cheaper.
