Central Funicular (Funicolare Centrale)

Since 1928, the Central Funicular (Funicolare Centrale) in Naples has been a vital link between the city’s historic center and the elegant hilltop Vomero neighborhood, specifically Piazza Vanvitelli. Stretching for 4,167 feet (1,270 meters), it ranks among the longest and busiest funiculars globally, annually transporting over 10 million passengers. The cable railway offers a practical and scenic way to ascend the steep slopes, providing visitors with an efficient means to explore both the bustling lower city and the more tranquil, upscale Vomero district.
