Sikló
The Budapest Castle Hill Funicular or Budavári Sikló is a funicular railway in the city of Budapest, in Hungary. It links the Adam Clark Square and the Széchenyi Chain Bridge at river level to Buda Castle above. From the cabins you can have a wonderful view over Budapest with Chain Bridge and River Danube in the front, Parliament on the left and the city on the right.
The line was opened on March 2, 1870, and has been in municipal ownership since 1920. It was destroyed in the Second World War and reopened on June 4, 1986. The construction was started by the idea of Odon Szechenyi, son of the statesman Count Istvan Szechenyi. Back then, this was the second funicular railway operating in Europe. The funicular had been meticulously reconstructed and rebuilt in a vintage style after being completely destroyed in a WWII bombing raid.
There are two cars in the Sikló, they are called Margit and Gellért after Margaret Island and Gellért-hill that are main sights in Budapest. You can use Sikló with your Budapest Transport ticket. Go up and enjoy the view! The Buda Castle Funicular was admitted to the list of UNESCO World Heritage sites in 1987.
