The magical city of Zurich in Switzerland has so many attractions . Its historical values have long become museums and if you want to get acquainted with something interesting, walking along the streets of the city, then you just need to ride on the Polyban cable car. It is located near the embankment, where you will surely spend your leisure, admiring the city panoramas. Do not miss the opportunity to ride this extraordinary sightseeing in Zurich.
A bit of history
Poliban was established in 1889. Then he served to transport students to the university, which is located on a hill. He simplified a steep hilly road, both to students and local residents, because in this area of Zurich the slope reaches 23 degrees. In 1998, the funicular wanted to close the local authorities, but the Swiss bank allocated a sum for the restoration of Poliban. Since then, the famous funicular began to move not by water, but by electricity, and the trams themselves were modernized and acquired a rich red color.
Polyban today
Nowadays Polyban is one of the interesting tourist walks. A small tram will take you from the embankment of Zurich to the upper station, which is near the University of ETH. Of course, from its windows will be torn off beautiful landscapes of the area, which will not leave anyone indifferent. On the tram line of the funicular there are only two trams, they run every three minutes and accommodate about 25 people (the size of the university group). Even if you are in Zurich for only one day, be sure to visit this colorful landmark, especially if you are traveling with children .
