Using advice from a TA reviewer that free parking was available near the Vohwinkel (West) end of the line, we followed the tracks from the ground until we got there. (It may be helpful to know there is a nice, large, clean rest room in the pastry shop across from where tickets are sold. Make sure to have a coin or two for the attendant.) We got day tickets which were less than 5Euro each. The ride was fun and the view of the city was awesome. You could ride it more than once and not see everything. I wish we'd had more time to check out some of the stops. The far eastern terminus with its "garage" for the cars and turning bay was particularly interesting. Check out my review of the Wupper Grill for a great place to eat at this stop.

Loved this transit system...very cool. It is wonderful they never dismantled it years ago. All original. Try to do the night Kaiserwagen tour...it is excellent!!

The schwebebahn is a must see must do if you're in or around Wuppertal. It's unique, fun and cheap. We took the ride from vohwinkel (free parking here is a bonus) after stopping by for a late brunch at the local cafe. The highlights of this trip are the zoo, the Bayer site, the spot where tuffi the elephant fell in the river wupper in 1950 and of course the magnificent views all round. I recommend stopping at the Hauptbahnhof stop for a great shopping experience particular at the city arkaden with all the cafes and parlours. All in all, this was a once in a lifetime opportunity that we couldn't afford to miss. Would recommend to anyone.

Although busy as times this is an interesting way to see the town. Only €1.60 single trip ticket which are bought from the stations, remember to stamp the ticket.

You must ride on this overhead suspended railway.It's unque and wobbly.Ask about Tuffi the Elephant.Wuppertal is well worth a visit particularly in December when the Christmas Market is on.

We visited the Wuppertal suspension railway as part of a Great Railways journey package. I am not certain I'd have visited it in any other circumstances, Wuppertal is not the most picturesque destination, but the suspension railway is certainly unique and we can add it to the list of odd little railways we have ridden on. We went on the Kaiserwaggen, a restored turn of the century carriage originally ridden in by the Kaiser in 1900. We had coffee and cake on board as part of our package but it was such a horrible wet day the windows kept steaming up. Essentially a sort of tube train in the sky the railway is an essential part of the public transport network of the area, not just a curiosity, but if you are a fan of railways, well worth seeing, as it is unique.

20 stations in 13.3 km in a city that stretches the length of the city, so you are never far from a useful stop. It is 115 years old and truly amazing. If visiting Wuppertal, do not miss the chance of a ride. With 85,000 passengers a day, and a train every few minutes, I was left wondering why every city doesn't have one. The answer of course is the unique shape and circumstances of the city.

The Schwebebahn , or suspended monorail is just part of the city's regular transport system, but it is also the main tourist attraction. The first train ran in 1901 , and still runs the 13 kilometre route , mostly suspended 12 metres along the course of the river Wuppertal. For a special treat you can take the special "Kaisers" and enjoy a drink as you glide over the city.

Public transportation rocks. This is the way folks get around town. If you are visiting Wuppertal and don't take at least take it between one or two stops, you will miss out. Really unique experience, fun for the kids, great view of the river, cool architecture. Don't skip it. We drove up from Solingen, parked at one end and took the train to the shopping district, did a bit of walking around, enjoyed ice cream and returned.

It is original of course, having a flyiing train all over the city. Stations are really close, but to visit Wuppertal and don't catch the suspension railway is like you miss something for sure. Trains are small so avoid rush hours if you can
