Budapest Castle Hill FUNICULAR TRAM (Budavári Sikló) Cable Car - Budapest, Hungary attractions
Вставка

- We are in Budapest the capital city of Hungary. My wife and I were here for a 4-5 day long weekend during the Easter in April. This footage is of the Funicular Railway which was opened on March 2, 1870. The Funicular train or Budavári Sikló as it is called in Hungarian connects the Adam Clark Square and the Széchenyi Chain Bridge with the higher lying absolutely must see Budapest Tourist attraction, The Budapest Castle (Budapest Palace).
The Funicular cable car is operated by the Budapest public transport company the BKK, but even though my wife and I had a Budapest 72 Hour Tourist card which entitled us to unlimited public transport we still had to pay the fee to ride this rather unique cable train. The price was not very much and I think that the Budapest Card even allowed for a discount. We bought a return ticket to the top of the Buda Castle Hill and back. The view at the top is breathtaking and this is definitely a Must see Budapest attraction / Must try Budapest attraction (the Buda Castle in itself is the top attraction in Budapest or at least on the top of the top attractions list).
From the top of the hill the views of the Danube River with the Chain Bridge (Széchenyi) passing over it, not to mention the parliament building the cathedral and grand luxury hotels such as the Four Seasons or the French Luxury Hotel Chain, The Sofitel. This is a fantastic place to view the city of Budapest in both daylight and just as breathtaking with the cities night lights turned on.
And now for a little Technical information:
The Funicular Tram's railway line is 95 meters long and ies at a height of 51 meters. The railway is operated with two Double Decker Tram Cars with a capacity of 24 passengers per car. The two tram trains are named "Margit" and "Gellert".
And here is a definition by wiki of what a Funicular Train is:
A funicular, also known as an inclined plane or cliff railway, is a cable railway in which a cable attached to a pair of tram-like vehicles on rails moves them up and down a steep slope; the ascending and descending vehicles counterbalance each other.
Funicular Tram Railroads are quite common around Europe and around the world. Some of European oldest Funicular cable cars can be tried in Austria (Festungsbahn from 1892), Czech Republic (Petřín funicular from 1891).
Wiki writes about Budapest, "Budapest, Hungary’s capital, is bisected by the River Danube, and the 19th-century Chain Bridge connects its hilly Buda district with flat Pest. A funicular runs up Castle Hill to Buda’s Old Town, where the Budapest History Museum traces life from Roman times onwards. Trinity Square is home to 13th-century Matthias Church and the turrets of the Fishermen’s Bastion, which offer sweeping views..."
