Maçka Gondola, Urban aerial tramway in Şişli district, Turkey.
The Maçka Gondola spans 333.5 meters across a deep valley, connecting the Maçka neighborhood with the Taşkışla quarter near Taksim Square in Istanbul.
The Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality inaugurated this cable car system on April 11, 1993, establishing a new transportation link between different urban sectors.
The gondola stations provide direct access to the refined Teşvikiye and Nişantaşı neighborhoods, where local residents conduct their daily activities.
Operating from 07:30 to 21:00 on weekdays and 08:00 to 19:00 on Sundays, the gondola completes each journey in approximately 3.5 minutes.
The French company Poma designed this aerial system without intermediate support towers, allowing uninterrupted transit across the entire valley span.
