Dubrovnik Cable Car Info

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.

Getting to the Cable car

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 cabin can hold up to 32 persons

Cable car alternatives...

The cable car ride is short but fun (it's among the most popular things to do for children in Dubrovnik). However, if you don't feel like riding the cable car, there are still other ways to reach the top of Mount Srdj above Dubrovnik. Consider taking one of many tours that take you there on a pleasant drive. We would recommend Tuk-Tuk tour and buggy safari tour.

Instead of taking a cable car to reach the top of Srdj Hill, book this bus panorama tour by cabrio bus (6 departures throughout the day). Or take this 3-hour photo tour which takes you also to other great viewpoints from which you can take amazing photos.
