    Loved the views at the top, amazing history & fast ride considering how busy it was. Did not like how many people were squeezed into each carriage, especially as we had a baby.

    Experience Breathtaking Views from a Historic Train

    This 4.5-minute journey takes you to 2,750 feet above sea level, offering breathtaking views of the island and beyond. Not only is this one of the world's steepest funicular trains, but it's also an impressive feat of engineering that's been in operation since 1923. As you make your ascent, you'll even pass through the world's steepest tunnel, which measures 79 meters long. Once you've reached the top, there are plenty of attractions to explore, including the historic Bellevue hotel, the Penang Hill mosque, and the Love Locks viewpoint. The lush tropical rainforest is also a great opportunity to spot local flora and fauna.

    Upgrade for Faster Access

    With two-way transfer options, frequent departures, and easy access, the funicular train ride is the perfect choice to get to the top of Penang Hill. Plus, for those looking to skip the queues, you can upgrade to the fast lane access for an even more hassle-free experience.
