Opened in 1893, this funicular is one of the many ascensores, or hillside elevators, that are characteristic of Valparaíso, a city known for its steep hills and panoramic views. The Artillería Funicular specifically connects the bustling port area with the Artillería Hill, where passengers can enjoy breathtaking views of the city and the Pacific Ocean.
