Prague castle with st. Vitus cathedral, Petrin hill funicular tram, Lesser Town, Prague (UNESCO), Czech republic. Nebozizek train station.

First opened in 1891, Prague’s funicular railway now uses modern coaches that trundle back and forth on 510m of track, saving visitors a climb up Petřín. It runs every 10 to 20 minutes from Újezd to near the Petřín Lookout Tower, with a stop at Nebozízek. A full-price ticket or day pass is required to ride.
