How much is a budget per day in Dubrovnik?

For budget-minded travelers, it costs around $50-$80/day to visit Dubrovnik. These prices are based on what you'll need to visit the city comfortably as a budget traveler. If you want to upgrade your accommodations then you'll want to add another $50-$100/night to your travel budget.



In 2026, Dubrovnik remains one of the more expensive destinations in the Mediterranean, but a savvy budget traveler should expect to spend roughly €85 to €110 per day. This budget assumes you are staying in a hostel or a private room outside the Old City walls (€45–€60), eating one meal from a bakery or grocery store and one mid-range sit-down meal (€30), and using public buses rather than taxis. A single walk on the famous City Walls now costs around €35, so you must factor in these "one-time" high costs. To keep the daily average down, many travelers in 2026 utilize the Dubrovnik Pass, which bundles entrance to the walls and museums with free public transport. If you want to eat every meal in the Old City and take the cable car to Mount Srđ, your budget will easily spike toward €150+. Dubrovnik is a "premium" destination, and prices for coffee and beer in the main Stradun plaza are significantly higher than in the surrounding Croatian suburbs.
