Historical Context

Built primarily between the 12th and 17th centuries, the walls protected the wealthy maritime city-state of Ragusa.

Photography Tips

  • Use a polarizing filter to cut the glare off the limestone and sea
  • The hour before sunset provides the most flattering 'warm' glow on the stone
  • Wide-angle lenses are perfect for capturing the narrow walkways

Insider Tips

  • Start at the Ploče Gate entrance to tackle the steepest climb first
  • Bring a reusable water bottle; there are fountains in the Old Town to fill up before you climb
  • The ticket is valid for one entry only, so don't leave until you're finished

Our Partners

  • In partnership with Viator, a TripAdvisor company
  • Verified local Croatian tour operators

Fun Facts

  • The walls have never been breached by a hostile army
  • Some sections are up to 6 meters (20 feet) thick
  • The walls have served as the backdrop for 'King's Landing' in Game of Thrones and Canto Bight in Star Wars

Unforgettable Views

Booking the combo tour was the best decision. Our guide, Ana, knew so much about the history that isn't on the plaques. The views of the Adriatic are worth every penny.

Game of Thrones Heaven

If you're a fan, you have to do the GoT themed wall tour. Standing where Cersei stood was surreal. Booking through this site was seamless and the mobile ticket worked perfectly.

Beautiful but busy

Even in November it was quite busy, but the small group size of our tour made it manageable. The guide's English was perfect and the stories were engaging.

Excellent Value

The private tour was exceptional. We went at our own pace, which was great because my mother walks a bit slower. The views from the Mince Tower are the best in the city.

The cable car and walls combo is the most efficient way to see the city. The logistics were handled perfectly by the operator. Highly recommended for first-timers.

Top Tier Guide

Our guide was a local who lived through the 1990s siege, and hearing his personal perspective while walking the walls made the history come alive. Truly moving.
