Buda Castle Funicular, Funicular railway in Castle District, Hungary
The Buda Castle Funicular consists of two parallel passenger cars traveling on tracks up the steep slope of Castle Hill in Budapest.
The funicular railway, constructed in 1870 as Europe's second such installation, underwent complete reconstruction after its destruction during World War II.
The funicular transports visitors between Chain Bridge and Buda Castle, connecting the medieval upper town with the 19th-century lower town of Budapest.
Operating from 8:00 to 22:00 daily, the funicular offers return tickets for 5000 HUF per adult and 2000 HUF for children aged 3-14 years.
The 95-meter track system elevates passengers 50 meters above the Danube River, providing views of Margaret Island and the Parliament Building.
