The Pfaffenthal-Kirchberg funicular in Luxembourg City, Luxembourg, is an innovative transportation system designed to connect the Pfaffenthal district with the Kirchberg plateau. Opened in December 2017, this funicular is a crucial part of the city's public transport network. It operates in conjunction with the Pfaffenthal-Kirchberg railway station, enabling seamless transfers between trains and the funicular. The system features two parallel tracks with two cabins capable of carrying up to 168 passengers each. The funicular travels a distance of 200 meters, overcoming a vertical rise of 40 meters, and offers spectacular views of the Alzette Valley.
