The Pederneira Funicular, in Nazaré, should open in January 2027, creating a public transport connection between the upper area and the beach. With about 200 meters in length and an investment of 10 million euros fully funded by the Recovery and Resilience Plan, the equipment will have the capacity to transport up to 300 people per hour in each direction, with capacity for 40 passengers per trip.
