City Tour Panorama – Mount Srđ
Discover Dubrovnik from its most spectacular viewpoint, in a private air-conditioned vehicle with a professional English-speaking driver, at the time of day that suits you best.
Instead of waiting in long cable car lines during the busy season, you are collected from your hotel, apartment, villa or cruise ship and driven directly to the top of Mount Srđ.
At the first viewpoint you have around 10 to 15 minutes to enjoy the views over Dubrovnik Old Town, Lokrum Island and the Adriatic Sea. This is the same main viewpoint area that visitors reach by cable car, but with the comfort and convenience of arriving by private vehicle.
We then continue to a second panoramic viewpoint, a more exclusive spot with a different and often even more beautiful perspective of the city, where you have another 10 to 15 minutes for photos before we drive you back.
If you would like to see more, the extended two hour option adds the Dubrovnik Bridge viewpoint and the River Ombla, one of the shortest rivers in the world, set in peaceful countryside just outside the city.

Very little walking is involved. The vehicle parks close to each viewpoint, so this experience suits guests with limited mobility, families with strollers and cruise guests short on time.

Your driver meets you at your accommodation entrance, or at the agreed pickup point at Gruž cruise port, and returns you to the same place or anywhere else in Dubrovnik.
