Took this picture en route down Castle Hill at night. Bit cold and very hungry at this stage. The funicular wasn't as scary as I thought it would be. Nice and slow up the hill and down.
We had initially walked up the hill. But it was dark and some parts were a bit too dark for my liking so we opted for this faster ride uphill.
The view from the top was nice but it would have been much nicer during the day. On the up side, there wasn't a crowd and no long line for the ticket and for the ride up and down.
We'd walked across Chain Bridge from the Intercontinental Hotel....with many photo stops en route.
The funicular was opened in 1870. Like most things, it was destroyed during World War 2 and eventually reopened in June 1986.
Note: Funicular is a cable railway that moves up and down a steep slope
