Izmir Cable Car

Balçova, one of the prominent districts in Izmir in terms of social life, also hosts an interesting sightseeing spot. This point is the Izmir cable car, which offers the possibility to view the region from high. It means a full experience of excitement, pleasure and scenery for both the residents and tourists of the district. The Izmir cable car, opened in 1974, became obsolete after a while. It was reopened in 2015 as a result of subsequent repairs and renovations, ensuring compliance with the standards. The cable car, which has received intense attention since opening, would reach close to 1 million passengers by 2017. The Izmir cable car, which has a line length of 810 meters and today serves up to 20 cabins each in different colors, can carry approximately 1200 passengers per hour. Izmir cable car, one of the city's symbols, may be out of service during certain periods of the year due to maintenance. In general, during the summer months and near the end of the tourist season in the autumn is of great interest. Open daily except Monday, the hours of Izmir cable car, where you can see the unique view from the hill, start at 11:00 and continue until 18-19: 00 in the evening. The cable car, which is free to children ages 5 and under, can be experienced with a relatively modest tariff fee.
