Frequently asked questions

One ticket covers the full 1,940-metre walls circuit plus Fort Lovrijenac (the freestanding fortress across the bay, a few minutes' walk from the Pile Gate) and the Western Outer Walls. There is no separate ticket needed for Lovrijenac - it is part of the same entry.

There are three access points: by the Pile Gate, which is the main and busiest entrance; near the Ploče Gate at the eastern end; and beside the Maritime Museum at St John's Fortress, by the old harbour. Quieter entrances mean fewer people on the first stretch of your walk.

The recommended direction is anti-clockwise. Entering near the Pile Gate and heading anti-clockwise takes you up toward the Minčeta Tower first - the highest point and best rooftop view - and keeps the walk flowing in one direction with the crowd rather than against it.

Most visitors take around two hours with photo stops. Fast walkers can finish the loop in about an hour, while photographers and families often spend two to three. The circuit is roughly 2 km with frequent steps, so it is a proper walk rather than a stroll.

Confirmation is emailed to you within hours of booking, usually much sooner. Your entry ticket arrives as a PDF with a barcode, along with a free 5-minute audio guide - no app required. Have the barcode ready on your phone (or printed) to scan at the entrance.

No. We sell an open-date ticket: you book for a specific date and can arrive any time during opening hours that day. There is no fixed half-hour entry slot to select.

Adult (18+) is €59 and Child (7-18) is €25. Children under 7 enter free and don't need a ticket. All tickets include the full walls circuit, Fort Lovrijenac and the Western Outer Walls.

Yes - children under 7 enter free and are not a sold ticket. Just bring them along; photo ID may be requested at the gate to confirm age. Note the walls have over 1,000 steps and no stroller access, so a baby carrier is the practical choice for little ones.

For the child ticket, staff may ask for photo ID to confirm age eligibility. Carry a passport or national ID for each named reduced-rate visitor to avoid any hold-up at the gate.

No. The ticket is valid for one continuous tour and re-entry to the walls is not permitted - once you exit the circuit, that visit is complete. Fort Lovrijenac, however, can be visited separately with the same ticket, so you can split the walls and the fort across the same trip.

No. The walls are reached only by long, steep flights of stairs, and the circuit has more than 1,000 steps up and down. They are not suitable for wheelchairs or strollers. With young children, a baby carrier works far better than a pushchair, which you'd need to leave at the bottom.

Opening hours are seasonal. In summer the walls open early (around 08:00) and stay open into the evening; in winter the day is much shorter. We'll confirm the current hours for your chosen date when you book. The walls are typically open year-round, closing only on 25 December.

Yes - the walls run a high season (roughly March to October) and a low season (November to February) with different operator pricing and shorter winter hours. The ticket shown here is the standard high-season product. If you're travelling in deep winter, contact us first and we'll sort the right ticket for your dates.

Yes. Dubrovnik's Old Town and walls stood in for King's Landing across many seasons, and Fort Lovrijenac - included in your ticket - played the Red Keep. Fort Bokar appears in famous rampart scenes. Walking the circuit, you'll recognise views used throughout the series.

Early morning, right at opening, or the late afternoon before close. Both avoid the midday heat and the cruise-ship crowds that build from mid-morning. There is almost no shade on the walls, so an early or late start is far more comfortable in summer - and the light is better for photos.

Water, a hat and sunscreen are essential - the exposed limestone gets very hot and there is little shade. Wear comfortable shoes for the many steps. There are a couple of small cafés and kiosks on the walls for drinks, but it's best to start with water already in hand.

All sales are final. A refund is issued only if the operator cancels.

Reach out to our concierge team as early as you can and we'll readily rebook your date. Refunds are guaranteed in the event we cannot deliver the entry you booked.

The Walls of Dubrovnik are a medieval system of stone fortifications encircling the Old Town of Dubrovnik on the Adriatic coast of Croatia. The unbroken circuit runs approximately 1,940 metres and rises up to around 25 metres above the streets, dropping sheer to the sea on its outer side. Built mainly between the 13th and 17th centuries to defend the independent maritime Republic of Ragusa, the walls are reinforced by towers and forts: the round Minčeta Tower at the highest inland point, Fort Bokar on the western seaward corner, St John's Fortress guarding the old harbour, and the freestanding Fort Lovrijenac on its own rock across a small bay. The ensemble was inscribed by UNESCO in 1979 as part of the Old City of Dubrovnik, and the ramparts later gained fame as King's Landing in Game of Thrones, with Lovrijenac standing in for the Red Keep.

The Walls of Dubrovnik ring the Old Town of Dubrovnik on Croatia's southern Adriatic coast. The nearest airport is Dubrovnik Airport (DBV), roughly 20 kilometres to the south-east, around a 25 to 40 minute drive depending on traffic. Airport shuttle buses and taxis run into the city; the shuttle typically stops near the Old Town's eastern gate, from where it is a short, well-signposted walk to the walls. The walled Old Town itself is pedestrian-only, so no cars enter; visitors arrive on foot through one of the historic gates. There are three access points to the walls: the Pile Gate at the western end, the main and busiest entrance; the Ploče Gate at the eastern end; and the entrance beside the Maritime Museum at St John's Fortress, by the old harbour. From the cruise port or nearby Lapad, local buses and taxis reach the Pile Gate in roughly ten to fifteen minutes.
