"One of Dubrovnik’s oldest fortresses stands atop a 100-foot rock, guarding the western land entrance to the Old Town. Vigilantly turned toward Venice, it serves as a monumental tribute to Dubrovnik’s foresight, encapsulated in the motto of the Ragusan Republic engraved above the main entryway: “We do not sell our liberty for any gold in the world.” After entering the Old Town through the Pile Gate, walk down to Kolorina Bay and climb the stairs to the fortress. Because it’s far less busy than the city walls, the theatrical space offers a more intimate way to experience Dubrovnik’s history and charm, with breathtaking views to boot."

This is yet another site that's included within the Dubrovnik pass (Foundry museum also) despite it not being mentioned as included on the website. Always best to ask at every place if included. For sure you get good views from this Fort, but there's nothing else here. If I had to pay for this by itself I probably wouldn't go, but it gives you another perspective on the old town that you don't get from the Walls.

A magnificent fort, a sight to behold. Crowded with many enthusiastic tourist. Have great view of the ocean and the city wall and the the town. Love it despite the effort to climb to reach the summit!

Fort Lovrijenac is one for the game of thrones fans but is also a decent tourist attraction on it's own. It's quite small so you probably won't spend much more than an hour wandering around. If you get city wall tickets kids can view the fort for free if visiting on the same day. Views are lovely. Cost from memory 15 Euro.

The castle sits on top of a cliff, so be ready to climb a lot of stairs. But it’s worth it—the views along the way and especially at the top are absolutely stunning. I recommend going early in the day to avoid the big tour groups and crowds. We got there about 45 minutes after it opened and didn’t have to wait in line. There’s nothing inside the castle itself, but the breathtaking views of Dubrovnik’s old town and the gorgeous coastline make the climb totally worth it.

As others have said, many many stairs, so be prepared. Plan to go early as well. There is a cost for this attraction that is separate from the City Walls entrance. Nice views of the area, but really you can see the same view from the city walls. No history information is posted anywhere, which was disappointing. PLEASE NOTE THE OPENING TIMES IS NOT ALWAYS CORRECT FOR THIS ATTRACTION. In fact, today it closed early and there is conflicting information on the official website versus what is on the Dubrovnik Pass website. Check the Dubrovnik pass website first to see if there is changes to the hours! We arrived early and it closed at 2 PM but we didn’t understand why, turns out they’re setting up for a wedding in this place….great for those people but not for all the visitors. It really dampened the experience for us having to walk around all the crap they set up plus deal with the huge tour groups on game of thrones tours. I didn’t really take many photos just because of the crowds, and it was 9 am. In fact, so the math on if the Dubrovnik pass actually makes sense for you and your situation because some places kids can get in free depending on age, but you pay for them with the pass if they’re under 7.

Dubrovnik is a beautiful city located on the southern coast of Croatia, near by the Adriatic Sea. It’s most famous for its old city walls, which surround the historic center and the big castle .Walking along the walls gives you amazing views of the sea, red-roofed houses, and stone streets below. The Old Town is full of scenery things to see, with narrow alleys, small shops, and local restaurants. It feels like stepping back in time.The history is amazing. The city is clean, safe, and easy to explore on foot. There are many interesting places to visit, like the Rector’s Palace, Sponza Palace, and the large Onofrio Fountain. You can also take a cable car up Mount Srđ for a great view of Dubrovnik and the islands nearby. The beaches are nice too, especially Banje Beach, which is close to the Old Town. The water is clear and perfect for swimming. There are boat trips available to nearby islands like Lokrum, which is a peaceful escape from the crowds. Dubrovnik can get very busy during the summer, but early mornings and evenings are quieter and more relaxing. Overall, it’s a great place for history lovers, photographers, and anyone who enjoys the sea and beautiful views.

Firstly i was here 12 years ago and it was free to walk the wall and see the fort. This time a ticket to walk the wall included a fort visit at 40 Euro per person. A little steep but you can’t come to Dubrovnik and not walk the wall! The dirt was a bit of a climb but worth it. Spectacular views back over old town and some stiff there to see for Game of Thrones fans too.

After reading all the comments, I was worried about the stairs, but actually it was easier than I thought. And you can stop on the way if needed. The view is stunning! But 0 information if you don't book a tour guide. No information board at all. Some mess was left in different rooms. But it's worth the view ! I have de 1Day pass, so no waiting
