One of the shortest public funicular lines in the world, a 66-metre ride connecting the Lower Town and Upper Town since 1890.
The Zagreb funicular climbs 66 metres in about a minute from Tomićeva street to Strossmayer Promenade. It opened in 1890 and was originally steam-powered. The fare is about €0.66 one way and the funicular is a short, charming way to reach the Lotrščak Tower and the Upper Town without climbing the Stone Stairs. A refurbishment of the line was announced; check ZET (zet.hr) or the Tourist Information Centre for the current status.
