Kiev Funicular

Kyiv Funicular connects two historic neighborhoods of the city by transporting you up and down Volodymyrska Hill in a couple of minutes. Embark on a journey down the Dnieper River between the upper old town and the Podil neighborhood on the turn-of-the-century funicular, which opened in 1905.

To obtain the finest view, take a seat near the front or back of the vehicle. From the top, you can see the river and the waterfront below. There are two automobiles. Halfway up the slope, the track separates into two, allowing them to pass each other. A cable pulley system pulls the ascending car up the hill. It is propelled by the weight of the descending car, which is helped by an electric motor in the top station. The journey takes about 2.5 minutes. Every day, the railway transports over 10,000 passengers.
