Optional cable car ride from the Old Town to Srđ mountain to enjoy scenic views of the mighty ramparts and of the Elaphiti Islands. Find idyllic spots for lunch and dinner. Perhaps walk the famous 1940m long city walls or take the cable car (entrance fees required) or take a stroll along the famous "STRADUN" (both a street and a square) a 'promenade' inside the old town. Overnight in Dubrovnik, Gruz Harbour.
