UBS Polybahn

We rode up and down 3 times we enjoyed ourselves so much.It is free as part of the 24 hour transport ticket that allows you to travel on the buses and trams . Great view from the top as well.

It's so nice for a 1.2CHF trip! It takes you from ETH Zürich down to near the Zürich HB. Everyone should try it at least once if come to Zürich.

Very nice attraction in Zurich for kids. The train is historic. The route is super short, basically taking you up one street to the university where you can enjoy the views on the city. The train is very frequent. Although the train is small, the wait is short, so you will have a chance to enjoy it.

It’s a short ride… not very scenic but does the job of getting you up the hillside. The ride was over before I finished this post!

The Polybahn in Zurich offers an exceptional experience for both children and adults alike. It provides a delightful and seamless journey to the upper part of Zurich, revealing a plethora of captivating sights along the way. One cannot help but appreciate the convenience and efficiency that the Polybahn bought to the city's transportation system since 1889. It is a fantastic engineering and I can't believe it is 140 years old. For families with children, the Polybahn presents an exciting adventure. The anticipation of ascending to the upper reaches of Zurich is met with awe-inspiring vistas that unfold as the funicular makes its ascent. The young ones are sure to be enthralled by the ever-changing panorama that includes picturesque spots like the university and various museums. Not only is the Polybahn an ideal choice for seeking an entertaining day out, but it also appeals to those with an inclination for exploration and discovery. As the funicular glides upwards, passengers are treated to breathtaking glimpses of the cityscape that gradually unveil its charm. The journey itself becomes an immersive experience, allowing riders to witness the interplay of history and modernity within Zurich's landscape. Upon reaching the upper part of Zurich, a world of opportunities unfolds. The proximity to renowned landmarks such as the university and museums provides visitors with a rich cultural experience. The university stands as a testament to Zurich's status as an educational hub, while the museums offer a journey through art, history, and science. One could easily spend hours engrossed in the exhibitions and displays that offer a glimpse into Switzerland's vibrant heritage.

The ride cost only 1.20chf. It was a good experience. It took about 2-3 mins to the top and you can catch sight of the Zurich view. Very relaxing and breathtaking.

A hidden gem in the heart of Zurich. A 3 minute ride which will be rewarded with a very nice views of the city.

A discreet entrance to the Polybabn Furnicular, which opened in 1889. Tickets can be purchased at the entrance or it’s Free with your Zurich Card & is within Zone 110. It was only a short ride, only 2.5 mins but loved it regardless. At the top, exit for a view of Zurich City.

This is a great little tram that will take you from the Limmattquai up a hill really close to ETH and the University of Zurich. I highly recommend this three minute ride up hill because from the top you will have absolutely magnificent views of Zurich and the Limmatt River. I was able to get terrific panoramic photos on the way up and from the ETH University which is about sixty yards to the right of the train stop at the top. Visited November 2013
