Ascensor Reina Victoria is a super fun little funicular railway in the heart of Valparaíso, Chile! It’s definitely worth visiting if you’re in this city as it’s a fun experience and provides great views. It is extremely old (built in 1902) but it still runs great. The area has a playground for children, seats, and streetlights, and it’s quite inexpensive to ride the funicular. It’s also in a great walking area for you to explore all the shops, restaurants, and street art! Definitely put this on your list of saved places!

100 Pesos..... such a deal

An interesting place to visit as tourist because of the view at dusk. Has criative and interesting graffiti around the top of Reina Victoria. Also has a slide (funny). The ascensor takes you to a hill full of colourful bars and cheering retaurants, beautiful graffiti and souvenir stores. Totally recommend going and eating in one of these restaurants.

You will see different attraction nearest of this elevator like artisan on street, pubs and restaurants...

I took the stairs only to take advantage of the amazing views at the top of the elevator! Amazing Valparaiso reminds me so much of the colourful kaleidoscope of Porto city in Portugal - love it

What a great way to ascend the Concepcion hill! 100 CLP ticket that is paid in the bottom station. Recommended!

one of the best views from an ascensor. definitely worth going up/down this one

The Reina Victoria funicular in Chile is an incredible traditional transportation choice. With a history spanning over a century, this funicular showcases the area's charm and offers a unique view of the city. Its route is noteworthy, and the experience of ascending through lush landscapes is truly enjoyable. If you're looking for a unique and authentic experience, the Reina Victoria funicular is definitely worth a visit.

It’s a must do I guess but it was a one and done. Have taken the funicular in La Paz, now that’s a ride. This was more a curiosity. A 3 rating is too low, but a 4 is too high - giving it a 3 though because was had to wait quite a while in the car before it started - could have probably walked in the time it took.

The Ascensor Reina Victoria in Valparaiso turned out to be quite overrated. It was even out of service when we arrived. However, the surrounding area boasts many excellent dining options. Do note that restaurants tend to close around 9:00 PM. Nevertheless, Cerro Concepcion offers stunning street art and murals, making it worth a visit despite the disappointing ascensor experience.

Quite short ride, but nice little shops and bars/ restaurants around there

nice view, colorful house

I recommend you take this if you want to visit Alegre and Concepción Hills. It also has an amazing view of the city. It costs 100 pesos so it's inexpensive.

Beautiful ❤️ wish I had a chance to check out the gift shop but it looked great

Tourist attraction. The ascensor is a nice way to go to the upper part of Valparaiso, which is the main city attraction

Amazing place

The neighbourhood at the top is worth the visit and there seems to be quite a lot of cafes or restaurant with a very nice view.

My first ride up a slanted elevator with amazing views on the way up to the upper streets of Valparaiso. The wait time was long because the "Ascensor" could only hold 10 people, however it was on a Saturday, and tourists from everywhere flocked, not unlike myself to this unique mode of transportation

Just one of the amazing places to view the city and art.

This a very turistic and frecuented square in Alegre's hill. Totally recomended since it is surrounded by other hills, you are provided by many restaurant, amazing views of an old and laic cementery and its amazing views to the full-drawn walls. It is very picturesque, so if you go there you are going to enjoy it. At nights it is usually frecuented by youth. So be careful in every corner of the city at night, dont leave alone and your expemsive devices...

Such a cool piece of history!

The restaurant is on the hill. There are colorful graffiti, street art and souvenirs nearby. Have a broad view of the hills.

1902 Queen Victoria funicular. World heritage.
