It is very hilly in Porto. The riverfront is actually, at parts, vertical from the rest of the city. So, instead of climbing up the steep hill, there is a funicular that carries people up. This train is part of the public transit system, and it probably the coolest thing ever. All I can say is that they call it FUNicular for a reason.
