Amber Sky

Amber Sky, Observation wheel in Old Town, Poland.

Amber Sky is a 50-metre Ferris wheel on Ołowianka in Gdańsk, built to the Dutch Wheels R50SP-36 design. Its 36 climate-controlled gondolas each hold eight people, and one VIP gondola has a glass floor.

Amber Sky opened to the public in June 2016 on Granary Island in Gdańsk. It was later dismantled and moved, reopening in 2018 at its present site on Ołowianka. The wheel was designed and built by the Netherlands-based company Dutch Wheels to the specifications of its R50SP-36 model.

The wheel's name links it to amber, the fossil resin long gathered and traded on the Baltic coast, and Gdańsk has a museum of amber housed in the old Foregate complex. The 50-metre ride gives a view over the Motława and the shipyard cranes north of the Old Town.

Access is available in good weather conditions, which also provides the clearest views across the city. Morning visits are often less crowded, giving you a more relaxed experience as you ascend and survey the surroundings.

The wheel has 36 climate-controlled gondolas, each holding eight people, and one VIP gondola stands out with its glass floor. Dutch Wheels of the Netherlands built the structure to the R50SP-36 model specification, and the whole wheel reaches 50 metres.
