March 2nd of 1870 was the opening day of the Buda Castle Hill Funicular, making it the second-oldest hillside public-transport conveyance, and since then – with glowing and turbulent times lining its 146 years history – the gracefully constructed wooden cars have been providing a panoramic link between Clark Ádám Square and the Buda Castle, transporting 24 passengers at a time. Those who want to ascend the castle in this unique style should buy a separate ticket, as the regular public transport tickets and passes are not valid for the funicular.
