The Flying Dutchman Funicular Railway
Funicular railway at Cape Point
The Flying Dutchman Funicular at Cape Point was the first commercial funicular of its kind in Africa. Its ocean-side setting makes it one of the world’s most unique. Not only does it circumvent a significant hill for sightseers. It also offers dramatic panoramic views on the way up. Named after the legendary Flying Dutchman Ghost Ship, the funicular runs through dense fynbos and whisks visitors up to 214 metres above sea level, leaving just a short climb for the best views of the Cape Peninsula.
