Polinka Cable Car in Wrocław

The Polinka cable car was built with students, doctoral students, and employees of the Wrocław University of Science and Technology in mind - today it is often mentioned as one of the tourist attractions of Wrocław. If your child is truly a fan of cable cars, you are nearby, or taking a ride on the cable car fits your plans, as a way to cross the Oder River at this point - it is certainly an interesting option. However, it is worth knowing that the ride on the cable car is quite short (the route is 400m long), and the cable car itself is located far from the city center and other attractions - so is it worth going there specifically? We leave that decision up to you.

• Short 400m route (the journey takes 3 minutes)
• Easy access to the cable car with a stroller
• Closed cable car cabins, can be stuffy in summer and the plexiglass windows are not very transparent
• Lack of other attractions nearby
