World's Shortest Subway
The wiki says that Haifa has the world's shortest subway. But really it's just an underground funicular. Called "The Carmelit", it goes from the bottom of the hill to the top and has 5 stops. I had a hard time finding it. There's no big signs for the station and locals didn't know where it was either. From the train station, walk a couple blocks inland, then go north (left) to Paris Square. The subway station is a small stone building with yellow trim. 
It's interesting to have a city on the side of a hill. There's great views everywhere, but there's no main streets through the city. Roads just wind their way up the hill.
