Kotor - Lovćen Cable Car in Montenegro
In August 2023 a cable car opened in Montenegro, linking Kotor on the shore of the Bay of Kotor with Mount Lovćen. In a few minutes the cabin carries passengers from the sea to the mountains, with views of Kotor old town, the bay and the slopes of the national park.
The ride quickly became one of the most popular attractions in the country: it is chosen both by holidaymakers staying in Budva or Tivat and by cruise passengers who have only a few hours in Kotor.
The Kotor - Lovćen cable car in figures
the upper station is 1,348 metres above sea level;
the line runs 48 cabins;
capacity of up to 1,200 passengers per hour;
a round trip takes about 22 minutes, roughly 11 minutes each way.
How much is a ticket
At the opening a one-way trip cost 13 euros for adults, a return ticket for minors cost 12 euros, and children under 2 travelled free. There are discounts for people with disabilities.
Prices may have changed, so check the current fare before your trip.
What to see at the top
Lovćen is a national park and one of the main mountains of Montenegro. At the top you can walk the hiking trails, photograph the panorama of the Bay of Kotor and the Adriatic, and visit the Mausoleum of Petar II Petrović-Njegoš on Jezerski Vrh, which overlooks almost the whole country.
In summer it is cooler at the top than by the sea, so take a light jacket.
