Angels Flight Railway - History, Location & Key Facts 2022

The Basics

Technically a funicular, the Angel’s Flight Railway links Grand Central Market with California Plaza, saving pedestrians a walk up a steep flight of stairs. Since the stairs parallel the tracks, it’s possible to walk one way and ride the other. Some history tours and film-location tours of Los Angeles visit Angel’s Flight, and the railway is also a favorite stop on downtown walking tours.

Things to Know Before You Go

This is a great destination for photographers. Take the stairs to snap rail cars and track in profile.
Wheelchair users can board Angel’s Flight Railway at the Upper Station for a round-trip ride.
Bring a Los Angeles Transit Access Pass (TAP Card) if you have one, since the passes can be used for a 50% discount.
