Nizhny Novgorod Cable Car
Нижегородская канатная дорога
A cable car spanning the Volga to link Nizhny Novgorod with Bor, covering about 3.6 km, with aerial views over the broad river and the old town.
The Nizhny Novgorod–Bor cable car opened in 2012. It spans about 3.6 km, with a main span of about 900 m over the river, making it one of the longest river-crossing cable cars in Europe. A one-way trip takes about 12–15 minutes. From the cabin you can see the Volga, the Kremlin, and the Pechersky Monastery. The Nizhny station is on the high riverbank east of Rozhdestvenskaya Street. The fare is about 150 roubles. The cable car may be suspended in strong winds, and queues are longer on summer weekends.
