Dominican Monastery, Dubrovnik vs Franciscan Monastery, Dubrovnik
Two churches in Dubrovnik. Dominican Monastery, Dubrovnik has no online ticket listed; Franciscan Monastery, Dubrovnik has 1 ticket or tour to book. The table and the two notes below put them side by side; the full pages have what to see, the ticket and the timing for each.
The Dominican monastery occupies the north-eastern corner of Dubrovnik's walled old town, just inside the Ploce gate, and it is ticketed, cheaply, with the ticket covering the cloister and the museum. The church itself can often be entered for free. This is one of the most rewarding interiors in the city and one of the least crowded, because the tour groups enter through the Pile gate at the other end of the main street and many never get this far.
The Franciscan monastery stands immediately inside the Pile gate at the western end of the Stradun, the main street of Dubrovnik, so it is the first building every visitor passes. The church is free to enter; the cloister and the museum, which includes the old pharmacy, are covered by a small ticket sold in the passage between the church and the cloister. Buy it. The monastery sits right beside the start of the city walls walk, so combining the two in an early morning is the natural plan.
