Discover the Dolderbahn in Zurich

Dolderbahn funicular

#About:
The dolderbahn is a funicular located in Zurich going up to the mountain, where you can find a forest, a big golf field and a very expensive, castle-like hotel called the dolder grand hotel. There is no much to do up there, but I'd say it is worth seeing the hotel and looking at the view. You can see whole Zurich from up there! You may dedicate for the whole experience between 30 - 60 minutes. It is also nice to go up and down with the funicular, as it goes through the forest.

#Getting there:
Getting to the dolderbahn is easy. Just take trams number 3, 8 or 15 to a station called Römerhof in east Zurich. Trams number 3 and 15 in direction of Klusplatz and tram number 8 in direction of Hardplatz. The dolderbahn is next to the tram station.

#How much would it cost?
The dolderbahn is a part of the ZVV (Züricher Verkehrsverbund), which translates to English as Zurich's transport network that contains all kinds of transportation; rail, bus, tram, trolleybus, lake boat, and cable car in the canton of Zurich. So if you have a Tageskarte (a daily ticket) for example, you'll be just fine getting on the dolderbahn for free!
