Detailed itinerary

1

If you book this experience, you will enjoy a scenic stop at the majestic Dubrovnik Bridge (Most dr. Franja Tuđmana) — a modern architectural landmark offering breathtaking panoramic views over the Elaphiti Islands, Gruž harbor, and the Adriatic Sea. Your driver or guide will pause at a viewpoint near the bridge, allowing time for photos and stories about its construction, strategic importance, and the man it’s named after — Croatia’s first president. It’s a perfect short stop for those interested in engineering, photography, or simply soaking in stunning views of Dubrovnik from a unique angle.

2

As we drive by Mokošica, a residential suburb of Dubrovnik nestled between hills and the Adriatic coast, travelers will catch a glimpse of local life beyond the city walls. This area offers a peaceful contrast to the Old Town, with its terracotta rooftops, scenic coastline, and views of the Rijeka Dubrovačka bay. While we won’t stop here, the route through Mokošica provides a pleasant drive en route to the source of the Ombla River, one of the shortest rivers in the world and a hidden natural gem just minutes from Dubrovnik.

3
Stop 3

At the source of the Ombla River in Komolac, travelers will discover a serene and picturesque natural setting tucked away just outside Dubrovnik. This charming spot is home to one of the shortest rivers in the world, emerging dramatically from a karst cave at the foot of a steep limestone cliff. Surrounded by lush greenery and historic stone structures, it’s a peaceful escape where guests can enjoy a short walk, take beautiful photos, and hear about the river’s ecological and historical importance—especially its role as Dubrovnik’s primary water source for centuries.

4
Stop 4

Travelers will enjoy a scenic pause on the way to the top of Mount Srđ. Traveling by van allows us to navigate the narrow mountain road and reach higher viewpoints that larger buses cannot access. From this stop, you’ll take in breathtaking views over Dubrovnik’s Old Town, Lokrum Island, and the vast Adriatic Sea. Your driver or guide will share local stories and historical context, especially about the role of Mount Srđ in defending the city. It’s an ideal spot for photos and a moment to appreciate Dubrovnik from above.

5
Stop 5

At the top of Mount Srđ, travelers will visit the historic Fort Imperial, home to a powerful war exhibition that tells the story of Dubrovnik’s defense during the Croatian War of Independence. The exhibition features photographs, videos, and artifacts from the 1991–1995 conflict, offering deep insight into the city’s recent past. After the visit, guests will have free time for sightseeing, taking in the spectacular panoramic views of Dubrovnik, the surrounding islands, and the Adriatic coastline. This stop offers a perfect mix of history, culture, and natural beauty from one of the region’s most iconic viewpoints.
