Ever. It works out to be nearly \u00a328 for the one-day <a href=\"https:\/\/dubrovnikcard.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dubrovnik Card<\/a>, which you may as well get as it&#8217;s almost the same price as the ticket for the walls alone, except you get to visit a bunch of museums for &#8216;free&#8217; as well (although it&#8217;s debateable whether you&#8217;d want to visit some of them) plus a ticket for &#8216;free&#8217; public transport. That said, the view of the city is breath-taking and you can take as long as you like wandering. If you don&#8217;t go on a Wednesday as I did (when many of the museums are closed) you can call into the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dumus.hr\/en\/maritime-museum\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Maritime Museum<\/a>, included with the Dubrovnik card, positioned part-way along the walk of the walls. But even if you plan it badly the ticket lasts 24 hours so you can get to see the museums the following day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thingslostlostthings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/dub-views-from-wall.jpg?resize=800%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1452 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thingslostlostthings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/dub-views-from-wall.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thingslostlostthings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/dub-views-from-wall.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thingslostlostthings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/dub-views-from-wall.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thingslostlostthings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/dub-views-from-wall.jpg?w=1080&amp;ssl=1 1080w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px;
