The Castle Hill Funicular is a municipally owned funicular operated by BKV connecting Adam Clark Square and the Széchenyi Chain Bridge with Buda Castle. It first opened in 1870 and was transferred to city ownership in 1920. The funicular was damaged by bombs during World War II and did not reopen until June 4, 1986. The line is 312 feet long and a one way trip takes about a minute and a half.
