Preparations to build a funicular running to the top of Budapest’s Gellért Hill are scheduled to be ready shortly, the project company said on Wednesday.

The project is backed by the mayors of Budapest, the 1st district and the central government.

The funicular cars will run through a tunnel for 100 metres and then openly up to the Citadella, Sikló-Beruházó said.

Budapest’s new funicular will be constructed between Tabán and Gellért Hill. Furthermore, Gellért Hill’s public park will also be renovated, read more HERE.
