About Mount Srd

Mount Srd is a must see in Dubrovnik. You can reach here by taking the cable car or simply hike to the top. It's located at 415 metres above sea level and the views from the top are just staggering. Napoleon Bonaparte was the first one to spot the defensive potential of Srd hill. People usually prefer to come here to watch the beautiful sunset from the top as its really stunning and one of the most spectacular sunsets you can see. From the top, you can also view the islands away to your right up to the peninsula, the mountains of Bosnia Herzegovina, and to the left Lokrum Island and down the coast to Montenegro. Where else can you see three countries in one place? Do not miss going to the lovely bar and restaurant to eat and drink while you sit and take a view from the top.

How to reach

  • There are 2 ways to get to Mount Srd: either you can take a Cable Car or you can simply just hike. 
  • If you take The Dubrovnik Cable Car it's just a short 5-minute walk from the Old Town and there are a number of different routes you can take to reach Cable Car from Dubrovnik Old Town. Two of the routes lead you from Pile or Ploče gates. It takes about 8 to 12 minutes to walk around/behind city walls. The pedestrian footpaths from Ploče or Pile gates to the lower station are quite easy to walk towards Cable Car.
  • If you looking for the quickest way it takes 5 to10 minutes to walk up the stairs from Stradun (towards Buža Gate), and from there it takes just a minute across the parking lot towards the Dubrovnik cable car base station.
  • If you are docking in the Dubrovnik cruise port the easiest way to reach the Cable Car is by local bus # 8 or taxi. Walking distance from the Port of Gruž to Ploče where the lower station of the Cable Car is located is circa 4.5 km (uphill & downhill), which takes you an hour to walk there. Once you are there it takes 3 to 4 minutes to reach the summit station on Mount Srd. 
  • If you decide to hike be reminded that there are no pavements for you to safely wander along, only speeding cars to dodge. It is steep, but not as steep as normal roads. 

Tips

  • Start early morning before it gets too hot.
  • Do carry your sunglasses and hats.
  • It is rocky with loose stones so wear comfortable shoes.
  • There's enough parking available. 
  • It's an awesome place for all those selfie lovers or even those who love to take a lot of pictures.
  • Make sure you either have a guide with you or have your google maps on for your directions to get there. 
  • Carry enough water along.
  • On top, there is a restaurant and toilets. 
  • You can also rent a four-wheel drive while on top.
