Cable car to Petřín to be reconstructed by Metrostav

The cable car to Petřín will be reconstructed by Metrostav DIZ for approximately CZK 134 million, the Prague Transport Company announced on its website. The reconstruction should take a year, and another five to six months will be spent on the installation of the transport system and its testing, the company said. The first passengers could ride the new cable car, designed by Anna Marešová, in the third quarter of 2026. The cable car has been out of service since last September, when heavy rains damaged the line. It was not repaired in view of the planned reconstruction. The cable car has been in operation since 1891 and its current form dates back to the mid-1980s.
