The Dubrovnik Cable Car was built back in 1969. Nowadays is mainly used by the many tourists who visit Dubrovnik. While some people prefer to walk the demanding trail up hill or take a taxi which will go around following the asphalt road, others will take the fast cable car. Specially for visitors coming by cruise ship, who just had a few hours to explore the town, the short time which takes to reach the top is a valuable advantage.
The system starts working at 9:00 AM and ends in different times of the day accordingly to the season. For further details please check the official website (link provided in this waymark).
From the official website (see link included in this waymark):
"Two cabins, holding up to 30 passengers, need less than 4 minutes to negotiate the 778 metre distance between the lower and upper stations, passing over one column.
The upper station, located at 405 metres above sea level, has three terraces equipped with binocular telescopes, a panoramic restaurant, a souvenir shop, restrooms (disabled access) and an amphitheatre with seating for a maximum of 120 people.
