Breathtaking scenery
We had a great time. Our guide was very knowledgeable of the area and very friendly as well. The food was good and we learned a lot of the local history.

Excellent city tour
Fantastic experience. Cable car journey was good with plenty of time at the top for photos and anything else. Tour of city was excellent with loads of info both serious and light hearted. Route through city kept us away from the crowds whilst also seeing everything of interest. Would thoroughly recommend this. 👍
via Tripadvisor
The Cable Car is worth your time and money.
Some say the cable car isn't worth it. I disagree. The views of old town are spectacular and it beats riding up a dusty road in a jeep. I would suggest the combo ticket with the museum on top. It helps you to understand the war that destroyed so much of the old city.

I wish it were a little easier to find the tour guide at the start. Besides that it was super fun! And easy enough walk. Lots of great information and history. The cable car ride up was so cool with beautiful views. The destination at the top was amazing with the views and restaurants

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Explore Dubrovnik by Cable Car (ticket included): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubrovnik.
How much does Explore Dubrovnik by Cable Car (ticket included) cost?
+
Prices start at $89 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Dubrovnik usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Explore Dubrovnik by Cable Car (ticket included) take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Dubrovnik is not rushed.
Is Explore Dubrovnik by Cable Car (ticket included) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 123 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Dubrovnik, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Explore Dubrovnik by Cable Car (ticket included)?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Explore Dubrovnik by Cable Car (ticket included) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Explore Dubrovnik by Cable Car (ticket included)?
+
Around 43 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Dubrovnik can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Dubrovnik and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Explore Dubrovnik by Cable Car (ticket included) start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Dubrovnik within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Dubrovnik?
+
On Outty we rank every Dubrovnik experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Dubrovnik: Game of Thrones Walking Tour, Dubrovnik: 7 Caves & Blue Cave Speedboat Tour (4h), Dubrovnik: Sunset Kayaking & Snorkeling with water &wine. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Dubrovnik?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Dubrovnik?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
