The funicular in Prague provides a convenient and scenic way for visitors to ascend Petřín Hill from the Lesser Town (Malá Strana). This historical railway, inaugurated in 1891, begins its journey near the Malostranská metro station and gently climbs up to near the summit where the Petřín Tower stands. The ride offers passengers picturesque views of Prague Castle, the Vltava River, and the city skyline, making it a popular choice for both tourists and locals alike.
At the top of Petřín Hill, passengers disembark near the iconic Petřín Tower, a miniature replica of the Eiffel Tower, offering stunning panoramic vistas of Prague and its surroundings.
