8 ways to explore
Good museum visits sell out in Dubrovnik; the best go first. Below are the 8 standouts, with current prices and what makes each one different, so you can book before the calendar fills.
Step into Dubrovniks Red History Museum, an interactive look at communist life with a Yugo 45 photo spot, parallel-universe drinks, for $11.
“It's a very nice museum to refresh our memory of past living back in Yugoslavia, some other times, way different from what we have now. Worth visiting”
Prebook admission to Dubrovnik’s Love Stories Museum and walk straight in, exploring myths, pop-culture love, and interactive rooms in 45 minutes.
“Love, love, love this museum. 3 floors about love, each with a different theme. The exhibits were charming in an old school way. The top floor was FILLED with paper hearts—on the walls, the ceilings with personal messages from people who visited from all around the world. My husband and I left messages about our romance and I left a paper heart for my mom and dad too. And the darling woman at the front door took our picture in front of the museum as a memento of our visit.❤️❤️❤️”
Shell Museum Cavtat at Glossus Humanus shows 3,500+ seashell species in a guided visit. A budget stop near DBV airport.
“An extensive shell collection, beautifully displayed with informative labels. Amazing colours and shapes to view at your leisure. I recommend a visit.”
Skip-the-line access to Dubrovnik’s Love Stories Museum, with donated letters, film and TV romance ties, and an interactive Love Wall.
“it was very reading heavy but quite sweet. the rooms at the top where you can write a message and pin it to the walls was lovely.”
A fun 1-hour stop at the Museum of Selfies and Illusions Dubrovnik with 14 interactive photo scenes, plus a tall selfie ring lamp.
“Looking for something fun to do when in Dubrovnik? Don’t miss the chance to check out the Museum of Selfies! They are a variety of scenarios that you can play around and create the most amazing pictures!”
Visit Villa Banac’s Banac Museum in Cavtat, enjoy art and panoramic views, then sip Kutjevo sparkling wine. Great 1-hour stop.
“Incredible experience, lovely guide and the villa was spectacular especially learning about its history. Beautiful private art collection and a relaxing atmosphere after to have a bottle of wine on the balcony watching the boats”
Visit Villa Banac and the Banac Museum in Cavtat, with coffee and fresh juice, plus views toward Dubrovnik and van Gogh’s Sunflowers.
“Great tour . Sadly we were only allowed juice or a coffee . Not both .”
Visit Villa Banac’s private art gallery in Cavtat for a guided tour featuring Van Gogh’s Sunflowers, plus free time and a scenic stroll.
“We had a really lovely time at Villa Banac. The tour guide, Tanya, was very knowledgeable about the artwork on show there and the history of the building. The highlight of course was seeing Van Gogh's Sunflowers. A glass of wine on the terrace over looking the Bay (not included in the price but just as welcoming) is a nice way to round off the visit. You can enjoy some food there if you take the later tour.”
