Dubrovnik Cable Car

There is nothing like a ride in a cable car, and Dubrovnik takes this experience to the next level. This cable car was built in 1969 and covers almost half a ­mile (778m) in under 4 minutes. The views afforded at the top are breathtaking.

From atop Mount Srdj, all of Dubrovnik is visible below, with the cerulean blue of the Adriatic sea twinkling in the sunlight beyond.

While at the top, visit the Imperial Fortress. Most recently the front line of the Homeland War of 1991, it is now home to the Museum of the Croatian War of Independence.
