Elevador del Monte de San Pedro, Funicular railway in A Coruña, Spain.
The Elevador del Monte de San Pedro is a funicular in A Coruña that pulls passengers up the slope in a glass-enclosed cabin. The ride takes a few minutes and climbs steeply to reach the hilltop above.
The area around the hill was used for military defense to protect the harbor city for many decades. These defensive structures still shape how the place looks today.
The funicular connects the city to a hilltop park where locals and visitors walk and explore the surroundings together. You can observe how people use this space as a meeting point in their daily lives.
The funicular operates daily and the journey is short and straightforward for all visitors. Comfortable shoes are useful since walking paths at the top invite you to explore.
The glass cabin slowly rotates as it climbs, letting passengers see the entire bay around them from different angles. This spinning motion lets you watch the famous lighthouse and coastal views shift continuously during the ride.
