Prague's Petřín funicular reopens after two years
- Location
- Prague · 🇨🇿 Czech Republic
- Project
- Petřín funicular (Újezd–Petřín)
- Investment
- about CZK 134m (track renewal) and CZK 137.7m (new cars)
- Status
- Back in service since 22.09.2026
The funicular up Prague's Petřín hill has been running again since 22.09.2026, after heavy rain destroyed the line in September 2024. Metrostav DIZ renewed the track for about CZK 134m according to ČTK, and Doppelmayr/Garaventa supplied new, more extensively glazed cars for up to 120 instead of 100 passengers for CZK 137.7m; because downhill cars no longer stop at Nebozízek, they run roughly every ten minutes (E15, 20.09.2026; Newstream, 22.09.2026).
