Description: The Zagreb Funicular (Croatian: Zagrebacka uspinjaca) is the funicular in Zagreb operated by ZET, connecting the Ilica Street (Donji Grad) with Strossmayerovo setaliste (Strossmayer promenade) to the north (Gornji Grad).

The funicular was built in 1890 and has been in operation since April 23, 1893. It has two cars for 28 passengers each. It runs on 1200 mm gauge rails, track length is only 66 m, but height difference is 30.5 m and inclination 52%. This makes it one of the shortest, but also one of the steepest funiculars in the world. It runs at a speed of 1.5 m/s, needing 55 seconds to cross the distance. Since it has fully retained its original appearance and construction, as well as most of the technical properties of the original constructors, Zagreb Funicular has been legally protected as a cultural monument, and it is one of the symbols of the city of Zagreb.
