Petřín funicular

More than just a mode of transport, the Petřín funicular represents a chapter of history. It first opened in 1891, powered by a water traction system. Then the technology advancements of the 1930s meant that electricity modernised the funicular. Since its inauguration, it has been shutdown twice. The first time due to the hostilities of World War I. Then again in 1965 due to a landslide, and it was closed for over 20 years. Popular with locals, the Petřín Hill funicular is the easiest way to reach the summit, but you need to buy a ticket. For those who want to walk, there are clear paths which will lead you all the way up.
