Festungsbahn Funicular Railway

For the comfort, or for those who want to enjoy a mini amusement park experience, take the funicular ride up to the Fortress of Salzburg in less than two minutes, saving a considerable hike and avoiding the steep rock climbing to reach the castle. There is another way up and down, which is walking, but since the ticket price includes transportation, and the stairs aren't really interesting, take advantage of the opportunity to see the city open up before your eyes while enjoying a sense of vertigo. On your way out, before heading out to the street, there is a small Funicular museum, which exhibits the plans up to the continuous renovations and its relationship with the Alm water pipes.
