If you’re visiting Dubrovnik you have probably heard about the Dubrovnik Pass . It’s a city card that grants access to various attractions all across Dubrovnik, as well as free public transport rides. However, a common question many travelers ask is: Does Dubrovnik Pass include the cable car? The short answer is no — unfortunately the Dubrovnik Cable Car is not included in the Dubrovnik Pass.
And if that’s the only thing you wanted to know, you might leave now if you wish. But if you stay for just a little while longer, you’ll find out some useful information about the cable car in general and whether it’s worth the ride or not.
What is the Dubrovnik Cable Car? The Dubrovnik Cable Car is one of the most popular attractions in the city which takes you to Srđ Hill . The cable car station is located just outside the Old Town and the ride lasts for 4 minutes As you climb up and descent from Srđ, you have the opportunity to enjoy in beautiful panoramic views of Dubrovnik and surrounding coastline and islands.

What’s Included in the Dubrovnik Cable Car Ticket? When it comes to the price, only the 4-minute scenic drive is included in the price but the cable car in Dubrovnik brings you to some additional places (which you can reach by other means as well). Here’s what to expect from this ride:
A scenic 4-minute ride to the top of Mount Srđ (and back).Panoramic viewing platform with incredible photo opportunities. Expect some crowds here if visiting at sunset hours.Access to Panorama Restaurant & Bar , a fantastic spot for enjoying a meal or drink with the best view of Dubrovnik below you.Entrance to the Homeland War Museum , located inside the Imperial Fortress at the top of the mountain (separate ticket is required).
Why Isn’t the Cable Car Included in the Dubrovnik Pass? The answer is pretty simple, Dubrovnik Pass does not include the cable car because the cable car is privately operated . The rest of the museums and historic sites in Dubrovnik are owned and run by the government, and that’s the reason they are included in the Dubrovnik Pass.
Finally, we believe that Dubrovnik Pass is a good investment, even though it does not cover the expenses of the cable car.
Alternatives to the Cable Car The cable car is not the only way to get to Srđ, but it’s the fastest and most convenient. If you want to experience the views from Srđ Hill without taking the cable car, here are some alternatives:
Hike to the Top – A 30-45 minute uphill hike provides a great and scenic way to reach the summit.Drive or Take a Taxi – A scenic road allows access by car, with taxis available near the Old Town.ATV or Jeep Safari Tours – Some adventure tours include a drive up to Mount Srđ with stops at scenic viewpoints.
Is the Cable Car Worth It? We believe it is! We have taken the ride a few times and, although it’s a short ride, it’s a nice panoramic experience. Sunset from Srđ Hill is something we recommend you experience if visiting Dubrovnik. If you’re short on time or don’t want to hike to Srđ, the cable car is a fast and comfortable way to see the breathtaking landscapes of Dubrovnik from above.
