Also a wonderful sea view from the high view of the cable car, you can see the vast Adriatic Sea as it sparkles in the sunlight and up ahead the imposing Mount Srd Dubrovnik.

Once on Mount Srd Dubrovnik, you will be handed the opportunity to explore the historic Fort Imperial where even more scenic views await. After getting off the cable car, there is an opportunity to enjoy drinks at the bar located on the mountain and overlook the surrounding islands of the Dalmatian coast while enjoying the aforementioned drink. When you're done enjoying the bar, you can look around not only Fort Imperial, but many of the buildings in Old Town and the old city as whole from the mountain's point of view, there you will see not only more structures that have been carefully preserved for centuries but will be able to fully immerse yourself in the surrounding nature of being near the top of the mountain as the wildlife freely graze around the area while you grab hundreds of pictures of the environment.

You can also use this opportunity to observe how the old town Dubrovnik looks in the evening from a bird's eye perspective and take some last-minute photos.

How to get to the cable car by bus

There are several buses that stop just in front of the cable car. From the main bus station, you can take the bus service line 8 which will get you to the cable car. We strongly suggest checking with the public transport company for the timetables because there are other bus lines that also stop at the cable car. If you are with a group an option would be to arrange a minibus.

Tips

Just a few tips, obviously choose a clear day so you can enjoy the view. The mounting is 415 meters (1,352 feet) high! On clear days expect to get a magnificent view of the Adriatic coast with views up to 56 kilometers (35 miles). Go early morning to avoid the crowd, it can get busy, you will not be the only tourist, especially during the summer months. If you are planning to visit at sunset then be on time as there will be others with the same idea and there will be queues. And don't forget to take your camera to photograph an unforgettable experience. Enjoy!
