Prague Funicular and Chairlift

To take the funicular, buy a special ticket at the funicular station or use a 24-hour or 72-hour public transport ticket if you have one (see Tickets & Passes).

The funicular is out of service due to regular maintenance for about three weeks in the fall (usually in October).
