Funicular, adjacent restaurant and hotel are closed for now, but to enjoy the view of this, in full peace, there is always available (regardless of time) the longest number of steps in the world, ie 11,674 steps. If you find it too difficult or intimidating (because they are not used only by staff funicular), then you have to wait until May when it reopens all facilities.
