The Funicular del Tibidabo operates from Plaça del Doctor Andreu to Tibidabo. This funicular is not officially part of the Barcelona public transit system. As a result, ATM system tickets are not valid on the funicular. The Funicular del Tibidabo opened on October 29, 1901 and is 1152 meters (0.72 miles) long. An interesting feature of the funicular is that its cars' exteriors are repainted every so often by local artists.
