The metro map above also shows four orange lines of the 'Funicolare', or the cable cars of Naples with a total of 14 stations that are ideal for getting on top of the hills. These funiculars are operated by the transport company ANM, which also manages metro line 1. In particular, the 'Funicolare di Montesanto' is widely used by tourists to visit the Castel Sant' Elmo and the Monastery San Martino. You can easily buy tickets for the funicolare from the machines at the station of the funicular. You can choose from the same tickets as described above for the metro.
