Show on mapDubrovnik's museums tell the rich trading and maritime story of the Republic of Ragusa inside the walls. Most are within walking distance of each other, and a combined pass makes visiting several easy.
The Dubrovnik Pass gives entry to the walls and many museums with one ticket (1, 3 or 7 days).
There are no regular free days; some museums are free during Museum Night in late January.
