Review:
Nearly ten million passengers annually take advantage of Naples’s Funicolore Centrale. First opened in 1928, the funicular was designed to ease traffic between Naples’s lower central precincts and Piazza Vanvitelli. Visitors will find four stations along the line, which stretches 4,167 feet. It ascends a 558-foot elevation, stopping from bottom to top at Piazza Fuga, then Petraio, next Corso Vittorio Emmanuel, and finally Piazza Vanvitelli. The train capacity is 450 passengers, and the trip from bottom to top takes about 5 minutes. Since it is a major mode of transportation for working Neapolitans, visitors may want to experience it on the weekend, when the number of passengers drops from 28,000 daily to 10,000 daily.
