Buda Castle Funicular

Since 1870, the Danube bank has been connected to the Buda Castle by the Buda Castle Sikló. Travelling on this special railway, which runs on a 95-metre track, you can not only overcome the 50-metre difference in level with ease, but also enjoy a stunning view of the capital from the vehicle climbing up the side of the hill. Travelling by the Buda Hill Funicular is a pleasant and a fairly cheap way to save your legs a hike when you want to get up to the Buda Castle Hill from the river level on Adam Clarke square. Located at the Buda end of the Chain Bridge, the ride on the Funicular takes only a few minutes, and it does provide a unique and beautiful view of Budapest, the River Danube and sights at the top of Castle Hill, such as the Fisherman’s Bastion. Running every 10 minutes up and down the Castle Hill from early morning till late at night, do not be recoiled by the queues. The Sikló has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987.

LOCATION:

Clark Ádám tér-Szent György tér, Buda Castle
