Funiculars and cable cars Genoa

Built in 1929, the Montegalletto elevator provides access to the heights of Genoa. The system is unique in Europe, and operates in a highly ingenious way. First, a small cabin transports you like a funicular along the rails of a horizontal gallery for around 300 meters... then suddenly, the gallery is embedded in a cavity, and the click: the cabin rises gently and is immediately transformed into an elevator! A unique experience well worth the detour, if only to experience the ingenuity of the mechanism.
