Ironically, this was originally built to provide transport servants to and from work in the castle and thus a stigma was attached to its use; taken nowadays mainly by tourists. How times have changed!
Description:
- The funicular is definitely the easiest way to get up to the top of Castle Hill. Built in 1870, the two cars travel up and down every day from morning until night. The carriages are lovingly maintained, and although modern, have an antique look and design. The stations are also interesting; check out the massive wheel, which operates the system at the top of the terminal. Please note that the funicular is closed for maintenance on Monday of every even-numbered week.
