    Great views and an enjoyable hike
    We visited Mount Srd around sunset and had a wonderful time. We chose to save money and stretch our legs a little, so walked up and down the trail instead of taking the cable car. We had an Uber drop us at the trailhead (and another pick us up afterward) since we were staying a little further out, in Srebreno. The hike is about 1.5 miles each way, on a nice trail with lots of switchbacks to avoid being too steep. It took some effort and about 40 minutes, but we enjoyed the time outdoors as well as the steadily improving views as we gained altitude. At the top, we went immediately left and found some spots in the rocks where we could look down on Dubrovnik and the nearby islands and enjoy the sunset. We weren't especially interested in any other attractions at the top of the mountain, so as the sun started getting lower we headed back down the trail. The return trip was a little quicker, and we made it back to the trailhead before it got dark.

    Get the 17 bus to the top and walk down.
    Ok, so the cable car is one way up, but we did the alternative. Buy a 24 hour bus pass and catch the 17 bus outside Pile Gate. This takes you to almost the top of the mountain. But just off the bus stop is a footpath that takes you down the hill with fabulous views of the old town. It is quite a walk back to the Old Town, but not too difficult as mainly downhill. Well worth doing.

    Worth the walk
    From the old town to the top of the mount it took us 1hr 18 minutes. The hike is totally worth it for the views you get. Wear sensible shoes, converse pumps did feel like I was walking in bare feet at times on the journey down!!!

    Spectacular views
    Our stop in Dubrovnik was truly special, and the views spectacular, and there's no better view from above in Dubrovnik than Mount Srd. Accessible by hike (which I would not recommend as the path is poorly maintained and very uncomfortable underfoot) or by cable car, Mount Srd offers breathtaking views of the Old City, the crystal clear Adriatic Sea, and the numerous islands. After taking in the view we felt the desire for a bit of adventure and decided to book onto a Buggy Safari tour with Dubrovnik Buggy Adventure - a 35 minute off-road tour taking you through the mountain and woodland finishing with more astounding 360° views. The tour is at a cost of €40 per person; however, if you have the time and the stamina, you're able to access the viewpoints on foot.

    Great views, interesting museum
    On the top of the hill, you definitely get the best views of the city. We were also pleasantly surprised by the small museum inside the fort. It's a few Euros per person to get in but interesting and a good way to learn about the war

    Nice little hike reachable from the Old City
    We had an enjoyable time hiking up to the top from the old city. A good excuse to get some exercise to burn off some of the lobster pasta and wine from the night before. The trailhead is a little tricky to find. There is nothing particular to see on the hike itself but the views are great, particularly at the top of the old city. On the steeper side but it’s quick.

    Enjoyable Hike
    We took a taxi to the top to visit the Homeland War Museum, and then we walked back down. It was a nice, enjoyable walk with beautiful views of the city. It's a well maintained path and if you're interested in religious attractions, the Stations of the Cross are displayed on the whole path. I wouldn't go out of my way to do this hike, but if you're looking for a great opportunity to photograph the city from above then it's a perfect place to do that.

    Stunning
    We walked up and down the mountain, it took one hour to go up and a bit less to go down. Don’t waste your money on the cable cars if you are moderately fit. It’s a stunning walk with stunning views. Toilets and cafe at the top as well as the fun sky bike (£30 a ticket).

    Many Trails with Sweeping Views
    Whether you arrive via cable car, walk on foot, or taxi/rideshare, Mount Srd will provide nearly half a day of enjoyment if you let it. The restaurant by the cable car station has great food, the station itself offers stunning overlooks of Old Town Dubrovnik, and several hiking trails branch out in various places across the peak, which is surprisingly quite flat. My electric wheelchair could handle most of the major trails, but they are made with gravel and dirt, so it’s definitely bumpy and risky. One of the trails leads to a horseback riding course or farm of some sort, although I didn’t visit it.

    Great experience
    Took the cable car up to the top where the views are absolutely amazing! Walked back down, well worth doing! Took us an hour. Make sure to wear good shoes if you decide to walk one way or the other!

Fantastic views out over the city and surrounding countryside. I would highly recommend giving yourself at least an hour to go to the museum and watching the archive footage of the effects of the Homeland war on the city and people of Dubrovnik. A do not miss spot on your Dubrovnik visit

We hiked up at around 8:00am at end of August and down around 10am.

Getting to the trail:
Quite hard to find the start of the trail. If coming from Ploce direction, do not allow google maps to guide you along “Jadranska cesta” as it is a very busy road with no pavement. Follow side streets under Jadranska cesta and then cut straight up to reach the path, which is marked by a large brown signpost.
It takes around 15-20 minutes from the Old Town to the start of the trail.

The trail itself:
It took us about 35 minutes to walk up, going quite quickly. Allow an hour to go slower and take photos etc. The trail is not that steep and there are 14 turns marked by numbered monuments. However, the trail is set on loose rocks so definitely wear closed toe shoes, not sandals.

Timing:
We would recommend doing this early as most of the trail is directly in the sun. Going early also decreases the chance of seeing snakes.

The top:
Bring lots of water as there is none at the top unless you go to the expensive restaurant.
Gorgeous views, but views are actually better on the walking path as the top has annoying metal railings!

Beautiful view of the bay and the elaphite islands.
Zoo can choose taxi option or cable car, both more proffered than riding yourself. 😉
Take a look at the Fort Imperial as well and learn of recent war history of Dubrovnik and Croatia

The view over Dubrovnik and Old Town is incredible. The price for the 5 minute cable car is 200 kuna (up more than 40% from 2021 to 2022) which is definitely not worth it. An uber from downtown to the top is 64 kuna.

At a height of 400 meters above sea level, this mountain provides some amazing views of the city. The best time to visit is around sunset. You can view the sunset from the top of the French fort there. It's not a well known spot and you will have great views. You can take the cable car up and down again. It can get pretty crowded and costs 27 EUR for a round trip ticket. Alternatively, you can hike up and enjoy the view on the way up. There are mainly two routes, the switch back route and the longer more gradual way up. Best to use google maps or some other app to navigate. It's pretty easy to do that way. I did that, then took the cable car down for 15 EUR one way. Of course, you could also take a taxi, uber or even e-tuktuk. Either way, you shouldn't miss it.

There is a hiking trail that starts at the highest road above the old town. We’ve heard it’s hard to find, but we didn’t think so. The problem is that this road does not have a sidewalk, though. It’s possible to walk at the very edge by foot but it’s not pleasant.
Also mind that if you start from the old town going by foot, you’ll have gone up a significant amount of the mountain before you even arrive at the beginning of the trail - so the hiking trail itself might ‘only’ take 50 minutes, but you might already be a little out of breath when you arrive at the beginning. (You could definitely take an Uber to the start of the trail.)
The hike itself is actually fine, just make sure to bring a lot of water and come either very early or later in the day. You won’t have any shade for most of it.
On top, there is a restaurant at which we had something to drink - it’s very expensive, though (an ice tea is 50kn, almost 7€). We really needed to sit down and have a cold drink after the hike, so keep that in mind if you want to go, since there is only this one restaurant up there and no other comfortable places to sit down in the shade.
We hiked back down on the other side. To do that, you just walk along the road to a little town called Bosanka, from there, there’s a trail back down towards the old town. You’ll get great views of the old town from the other direction. I think this is much nicer than walking back down the same way.

Well worth visiting for a wonderful view of Dubrovnik Old Town from above and the islands around the area. The restaurant/bar at the top gives you the chance to take in the scenery whilst relaxing with a drink. The cable car to get up there was also a lot of fun and really gives you an appreciation for the height you rise to but was a little bit pricey.

We took a taxi to the top of this mountain and rode down on the cable car. When you arrive at the peak, there is sparse vegetation in a rocky landscape. Parking is random in a gravel lot. The fortress at the top is from the Napoleonic siege and gives a wonderful view of the city and surrounding areas. The top of the mountain is fairly small and can easily be walked. There are public toilets, a monument to war heroes, a restaurant and, of course, the fort. This was enjoyable but if you are running out of time, it should be on your second list of priorities.
