   From its vantage point, you can enjoy stunning panoramic views of the Gruž port, the Lapad Peninsula and Babin Kuk. Beyond its practical purpose, the bridge has become a favorite spot for bungee jumping and offers breathtaking vistas of Dubrovnik’s vibrant new district, making it a must-visit landmark.

5. Mount Srđ – Dubrovnik’s iconic hilltop lookout (20 mins)

   Rising 412 meters above Dubrovnik, Mount Srđ offers spectacular views of the Old Town, modern Dubrovnik, Lokrum, Cavtat, and even three countries.
