Petrin Funicular Train - Prague - Public Funiculars and Incline Railways on Waymarking.com

Funicular train connects the Small Quarter with the top of Petrin hill. It has three stops: Ujezd (the bottom station), Nebozizek (the middle station) and Petrín (the upper station).

The line was originally opened in 1891, with a length of 383 metres, a track gauge of 1 metre, and water balance propulsion. This original line closed with start of the first world war in 1914 and did not reopen after the end of hostilities. The current longer line opened in 1932 with a different track gauge and completely new equipment, and operated throughout the second world war. However an earth movement in 1965 caused the service to be suspended, and it was not resumed until 1985. At that time new cars were provided and the track reconstructed, but the original machinery retained.

You can take your photo when the funicular train goes along you or from the train. It is up to you.

Fee is the same as in other public transport in Prague, because funicular is a part of it.
