A quite unusual attraction for a city is the ride across the river by cable car. This type of transportation is more popular in mountainous areas. Wroclaw University of Technology decided to connect two areas of university in this way (Geocentrum and the main buildings of the campus).
The cable car runs at a height of 7 meters above the river, the line has a length of 500m. Two cars run on the line, facing each other, and each of them can fit 15 people at once. The cable car ride takes 2.5 minutes.
The ride is paid for with transport tickets that can be purchased from the vending machine next to the station. Tickets for adults cost PLN 3, and children pay half of that. Students and PhD candidates at Wroclaw University of Technology ride for free. The cable car operates during these hours: 7AM – 9PM (on weekends at 11AM – 6PM).
