In all honesty, this is way too overpriced for what it offers, and rich (often) Western tourists writing that it is cheap or affordable is not doing anyone justice.
Cable cars are proven to be some of the cheapest forms of transportation. While their initial costs may be high, they make up for it quickly by not consuming too much energy and carrying people across elevations with ease, unlike most other forms of transport. That is why in cities that rely on them, you will find out that they are very cheap.
This is of course a more tourist oriented cable car so an increased price is understandable, but making it 4 times the price of the finest portion of burek you can have in the world, which is also on this city, for one way of short travel, is far too much. Windows are not even clean for the most part so do not expect the best of views or photos. 30 KM return simply sounded extremely high so I decided to walk back down instead, which was an easy 45 min or so walk that I can recommended anyone but the elderly and the children.

Read moreI want to write a review just because I had an unpleasant experience here at the cable line on mountain top. When I pulled my paper ticket and scanned to pass, I was behind a Philipino couple. at this moment a white couple approached me and said that I cut in line and I should go back to behind. Even the Philipino couple said I didn’t and I always obey law and rules when I travel. I don’t know what is wrong with him. But every time when an Eastern European( Czech, Slovakia, Poland, Baltic countries) saw me, they wanted to create drama and flaunt their privilege and hate against Chinese. Here is my reply to you guys: I don’t...
