In Kiev it is possible to find also a short funicular line which connect the area of the Saint Michael Cathedral (Михайлівський золотоверхий монастир, Mykhaylivs’kyi zolotoverkhyi monastyr) with the area of the metro station “Poshtova plosha, Поштова плоша”.

You can get there also by foot, but if you don’t want to walk or you just want to try something different then you can take the metro until “Poshtova plosha” and then you will see right in front of you the entrance of the funicular station.

Once inside you can buy a token at the cashier (Kassa, Касса). (1 token = 1 ride)

One token costs 1,50 Hryvnia.

Then pass the turnstile and go to the train.

The raid is very short and last just few minutes. Try to sit at the beginning (or at the end) of the train in order to take advance of the beautiful view on the Dnipro river.

Note

At the funicular line work in the same time two trains so, you have very few to wait between a train and the other one.
