While standing in the long queue to the cable car one's tempted to worry about the length of the queue and how long you may have to wait. Don't worry though, cable cars depart every 10 to 15 minutes and transport 65 people at a time... so the wait isn't as long as you may think (although, as stated previously, buy your tickets online to save a little cash and skip the first queue).
The trip to the top of the mountain takes between 4 and 5 minutes - and as long as you secure a standing spot next to a window, don't worry about exactly where to stand - the cable car's floor rotates slowly so that everyone get's a 360° view on the way up.
