Cable Car to Mount Srđ
A four-minute cable car ride from just behind the Old Town up to the 412m summit of Mount Srđ for the definitive bird's-eye view of the walled city and the Elaphiti islands beyond.
The call
Worth it if you are watching the budget and you only have one day.
Why
- 01
The view from the top is the one everyone's seen and it does not disappoint — the whole Old Town laid out like a model with Lokrum floating offshore.
Our read - 02
The catch is the line and price, and the summit can be windy or hazy; sunset is spectacular but mobbed.
