Lokrum is a beautiful island with a lovely feel. Tickets for the ferry can be bought at the old port - cash and card accepted. We paid 140 kuna per adult; 20 kuna per child (under 15). The ferry only takes ten minutes. Would recommend walking the whole island, including the fort and visiting the dead sea and the rocky 'beach'. We stayed all day.

We visited Lokrum for the 1st time. We had to take a boat taxi for 10€ per person from Dubrovnik old town. After 15min we arrived at the reservoir Lokrum where we had to pay 15€ per person to enter. The island is quiet small so it is easy to walk around the whole island in less than an hour. The nature is so beautiful even peacocks are waking around and are not afraid of humans. There is no beach but only rocks from which you have to climb into the water. There are many beautiful spots to make selfies or to just have nice pictures. There are a few bars on the island but the prices are definitely too high: a coke 0,25L costs 4€ instead of 2€ like in other seaside bars. Nevertheless a must see when in Dubrovnik so 4 out of 5 stars due to the expensive entrance and drinks.

Although it is a small island it has so much to offer. I really recommend you prioritize to visit the Lokrum. Entrance to the island is around 150 khuna and the boat trip from the old city is around 50 khuna. When you visit, I would recommend going to the Benedictine Monastery of St. Mary. When we where there in July 2021 there were an expedition about the local bats, an expedition about the crusades and (for some odd reason) something about Game of Thrones. To the south of the monastery you can play football, volleyball and take a swim in the sea. To the north you can visit the botanical garden or walk all the way up to Fort Royal which has a stunning view of the sea and landside around Dubrovnik. There’s a café in the monastery and also one next to the port where you can also take a swim in the sea. Prices are a bit higher than normal in Croatia, but not too expensive. And the food at the monastery is very good (didn’t try the other café). You can easily use 2-3 hours on the island.
