The most beautiful views of Dubrovnik and surrounding islands can be enjoyed from the Mount Srdj above the town.
That's why you shouldn't skip taking a cable car ride to the top which takes less than 4 minutes. And if you visit Dubrovnik even in low season, you can do this, as cable car runs year-round.
The cable car has two cabins running throughout the day, and each can hold up to 32 passengers. During the summer months, the queues can be long, so be sure to get there early enough to avoid waiting.
From up there, you can capture the most stunning photos of the whole Old Town, the City walls and the islands lying just off the coast of Dubrovnik.
Escape the crowds of Dubrovnik and take e-tuk tuk tour to the best panoramic spots: Dubrovnik bridge and top of Mount Srdj!
The cable car station is located above the Old Town so it's very easy to get there if you find yourself within the City walls. It's just a couple of minutes on foot.
Walk up Boskoviceva street from Stradun to the top (just bear in mind that steps are little steep), turn right and walk until you reach parking lot. There you'll find stairs leading to the cable car station.
Alternatively, head to Pile Gate or Ploce Gate and take a scenic route around the City walls (it will take around 10 minutes).
For visitors arriving from the cruise port the easiest way to get here is to take a city bus no.8 which will drop you on the spot. Otherwise, take any bus running to Pile Gate, then get off and walk toward the cable car.
The cable car ride is short but fun (it's among the most popular things to do for children in Dubrovnik). However, there are still other ways to reach the top of Mount Srdj above Dubrovnik.
