For storytellers

Why Mount Srd matters

For the postcard view, ride the cable car up Mount Srd. From the top the old town looks tiny, the islands scatter out to sea and the coast stretches south. Sunset is the busiest and best time, so go early to get a spot. You can also walk up a steep path if you feel energetic.

Talking points

  • A cable car runs from near the old town to the summit.
  • Sunset brings the biggest crowds.
  • A small museum about the 1990s war is at the top.
