It's a giant panoramic wheel called 'Amber Sky' located on the Granary Island. The wheel consist of 36 air-conditioned cabins that take you up to the height of 50m offering wonderful views of the Old Town. There is even a VIP cabin with glazed floor (paid extra). The ride lasts about 15 minutes which equals to 3 full rotations of the wheel. It's a all-year round tourist attraction. #letsguide, #visitgdansk, #gdansk, #poland, #granaryisland, #ambersky, #panoramicview, #oldtown, #vip, #touristattraction, #landmark,

This Amber Sky Ferris wheel is located nicely in the city of Gdańsk to give lovely views of the city. Your ride lasts about 15 minutes which is a nice amount of time to enjoy the ride. The cars are enclosed and tinted which is nice on a sunny day. It also has lights and air conditioning inside to ensure that your ride is comfortable. Nestled near the river it is a great location especially during the fair as there are booths with food and drink here and a stage with bands performing.

Although I generally don’t find ferris wheels particularly exciting, the architectural impact and the panoramic views offered by the AmberSky Ferris Wheel in Gdansk are notable. While I did not ride it myself, observing the structure from the ground was an experience in itself. Architectural Impact and Design The AmberSky Ferris Wheel, located in the Ołowianka district next to the iconic “GDAŃSK” sign, stands 50 meters tall. Designed by the Dutch company Dutch Wheels, it features 36 air-conditioned and heated gondolas, including one VIP gondola with a glass floor. This modern installation opened to the public in June 2016 and was relocated to its current spot in December 2018. City Views AmberSky offers a unique vantage point over Gdansk, allowing visitors to admire the historic cityscape. Key sights include the Crane, St. Mary’s Church, and the Town Hall’s soaring tower. On clear days, the view extends to the Hel Peninsula. This panoramic perspective highlights the city’s blend of historical and modern elements, enhancing the architectural experience of Gdansk. Tourist Experience For those interested, a ride on AmberSky lasts about 15 minutes, providing ample time to take in the sights. The ferris wheel also offers amenities such as a terrace with sun loungers, an ice cream stand, and a lemonade kiosk, making it a pleasant spot to relax and enjoy the scenery.

The wheel itself is excellent, the cabins are clean modern and fitted with heating and a/c, lights, and communications. The price is good too although other reviewers have said it's expensive, for me I feel it was cheap. The biggest issue is the location, unfortunately it's now (I'm sure it was not when the site was chosen) in the center of a building site. There's huge construction going on on the side facing old Gdansk, which is unfortunate. The views from the top are over this luckily, but even so, there are more picturesque locations and it's a little less than stunning. It's not ambersky's fault.. Gdansk just isn't as scenic from above as some other locations. You go round a variable number of times it seems, depending on how busy it is, on a cold December day we went 5 times, without stopping once. Since so cheap it's still worth doing, although do be aware you travel round much faster than some other wheels, a complete rotation is in the order of seconds, rather than minutes. One thing that could be improved is to clean the windows more often and use something like rain X to bead the water off better, as the windows were very hard to photograph through as it has rained earlier in the day.

The reduced ticket price for students was 27 Zloty. I have to be honest, my story is so ridiculous that I am still laughing at myself 😄 I got in the cab and the ride startet. I have to say, that I have never been on the Ferris wheel that was this fast 🫣 after one round, I thought it would stop, but it did not. Then I thought, okay maybe there is 2 circles included in the price 😄 No, it was not. After third round, I thought of calling to help, because I was not enjoying it anymore, also I was sitting alone in the cab and that made it worse 😄 On each round I was waiting for someone to stop the wheel and to open the door, but no one did 😄 And at last, after 6 or 7 rounds, the control guy stopped it and I left the cab. I was so relieved omg 😄😄 Usually, all the Ferris wheels include just one round and you are then out, but this time was different and I was nervous 😬 So if you are planning to buy tickets, be aware that there is more than 1 round 😄😄 and don’t be frightened 🫶🏻

The amber sky wheel is a great attraction for Gdansk and looks very pretty when lit up at night. However, when we visited, it was bad weather with rain and wind, but we still wanted to go on the wheel. Unfortunately, due to the weather, the views from the cart were limited and the windows did steam up. We tried to turn on the air-conditioning in the pod. However, this was not working. We did get six rides around the wheel and I can imagine when the weather conditions are better. It would be a more enjoyable experience. My mother was very scared due to the weather conditions and tried to press the help/ stop button to get off however this also did not work and she had to stay on for the whole ride.
