Žaliakalnis Funicular
Žaliakalnio funikulierius
A funicular with wooden cars, opened in 1931, that climbs from the city centre up the hill where Christ’s Resurrection Basilica stands.
Opened in 1931, it is one of Lithuania’s oldest funiculars and among the oldest still operating in Europe. Two original wooden cars travel alternately along a track about 142 meters long, carrying passengers from the city centre up Žaliakalnis Hill to near Christ’s Resurrection Basilica in just a few minutes. The fare is around 1 euro. The ride itself is a nostalgic experience, and there is a viewpoint at the top. Operating hours vary by season, and service may be suspended for maintenance, so check the announcements before setting out.
