When exploring Dubrovnik consider buying Dubrovnik Pass that grants you free entry to famous City walls and a number of museums (in Dubrovnik and Cavtat), free rides on city buses and various discounts in selected restaurants, stores and travel agencies.
The Dubrovnik Pass is available as a 1-day (€35), 3-days (€45) and and 7-days pass (€55) and is activated with the first visit to any sight or by picking up a bus ticket from selling points.
Taking in consideration that single ticket for the City walls costs €35, exactly the same as the daily Dubrovnik Pass, the pass is good value and worth it since it allows you to save money on bus tickets, museum and gallery visits and other discounts. Visit to Lovrijenac Fortress is also included in the pass!
Choose the pass that best suits you, regarding the number of days you stay in Dubrovnik. The Pass may not be the best value for children. Some sights, such as the City walls, have children discounts anyway.

The easiest way to buy Dubrovnik Pass is online but you can get it once you arrive to Dubrovnik from Tourist Boards (Pile, Gruz, Lapad, Zupa Dubrovacka - Mlini, Cavtat), Libertas sales points and some travel agencies throughout the city. If staying in one of the many hotels, buy the Dubrovnik Pass from the reception.
The Dubrovnik Passes are activated after the first visit to a sight or after picking up the bus tickets from Libertas sales points or a driver in the city bus. The Pass allows you a one-time visit to every sight/museum meaning you can't return the next day with the same Pass.
