Perhaps the cutest little tram ride you will have ever, the UBS Polybahn funicular is a short railway ride that connects the Central Square to the ETH Zurich. Dating back to 1886, this funicular is quite popular with people who want to ride up to the incredible viewing point that reveals stunning views of the city. The funicular was originally water-driven but was shortly converted to an electric drive in 1897. The Polybahn funicular price is also very moderate and won’t burn a hole in the pocket.

Hop aboard this charming ride if you want an experience of a vintage tram and also to save a few breaths while climbing to the top of the hill.

• Trains are available after every 2 – 5 minutes.
