Overview

Ascend Mount Srđ in just under four minutes aboard the Dubrovnik Cable Car, a modern and exhilarating way to witness the unparalleled beauty of Dubrovnik. The original cable car, established in 1969, quickly became a major attraction, the first of its kind in the Adriatic. Sadly, it was damaged during the Croatian Homeland War in 1991. The cable car was lovingly restored and reopened in 2010, offering an improved and more popular experience.Each of the cable car's two cabins accommodates up to 32 passengers for the 778-meter journey. As you ascend, the views of Dubrovnik's Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, become increasingly stunning, with the Adriatic Sea and Elaphiti Islands stretching out before you.At the summit, 405 meters above sea level, you'll find several terraces equipped with binocular telescopes, a panoramic restaurant, a souvenir shop, and the Imperial Fortress. The fortress, built by Napoleon in the 19th century, houses the Museum of Homeland War, a poignant reminder of the city's resilience. For those seeking outdoor activities, hiking trails lead from the Imperial Fortress to Strinčjera Fortress, offering even more spectacular views. Whether you're capturing the perfect sunset photo, exploring historical landmarks, or simply soaking in the scenery, the Dubrovnik Cable Car provides an unforgettable experience.
