About the place

The idea of creating the funicular belonged to engineer A. Abrahamson. Initially the rail­way was 200 metres long, but after the reconstruction in 1928 it was lengthened by 38 metres. The travel lasts about 3 minutes. In 1984, in the course of general reconstruction, a new pavilion was built at the lower terminal. It looks like a unique composition of big glazed arches. In 1995 a historical diorama was installed in the hall of the upper terminal.

Стоит хоть раз прокатится на фуникулере с Почтовой площади к Михайловскому собору. Стоимость проезда как в метро.
