Polinka – a cable car on the Oder
One of Wroclaw’s attractions is Polinka – a cable car operating on the Oder. It takes only three minutes to reach the other side of the river by cable car. It is a unique passage on the walking route from Hydropolis to the Zoo. You can buy a ticket in a ticket machine on stations on both sides of the Oder.
The cable car is open from 7:00 a.m. till 6:00 p.m. from Monday to Friday and from 11:00 a.m. till 6:00 p.m. from Saturday to Sunday.
A valid MPK ticket is sufficient to travel by passenger trains between all stations in Wroclaw without extra fares.
