You can't come to Dubuque without visiting the Fourth Street (Fenelon Place) Elevator. Closed in the winter, the elevator was originally constructed so that a person who worked downtown could get home for lunch. Interest developed quickly; the elevator became a business. Any seat inside the cable car will give you an excellent view. At the top, take time to walk up the street a bit to look at some of the houses and then return to the elevator for a panoramic view of the Mississippi River valley and the City of Dubuque. Kids will love it--and so will you!

An inexpensive "Have to do"We visit this when ever we are in Dubuque. a nominal charge for this elevator which is the steepest cable car in the United States. It is closed for rides in the winter but is still a place to drive by.

This is a must see place on your visit to Dubuque. The hills used to be lined with these elevators. Makes an easy ride to the top of the hills if you don't feel like riding your bike up W. 3rd St.

I love to ride the elevator with tourists, who are sometimes really scared to go up. I've been up scores of times, and have never been scared, but loved the little boy who thought the intercom voice was God.

I just happened to see the elevator from our hotel window and went looking for more information. My husband and I have vacationed in Dubuque many times but this was the first time we rode the elevator. Everyone should take the time to enjoy this attraction. You will be glad you did!

I make it a habit to ride as many of these types of funicular's as I can. When you see one ride it so much fun. This one is a step back in time and the top gives great views of the old man river The Mississippi. Try it you will love it.

Even if this is your first time in Dubuque, you need to see the city from one of the best views. Built as a short cut for a doctor to have an afternoon nap, its a rustic and imaginative way to a great view. Think of it as a moving closet to the past! Very small fee, seasonal, one of the first things I do when I visit.

Our out if town guests are always pleased when we take them to see this elevator. The views of the city are great when you get up on top. There is a nominal fee - about a dollar.

This is a must see in Dubuque. For a nominal fee take a ride on the 4th Street elevator. This is actually closer to a cable car than an elevator. Climb in the elevator/cable car and ride to the top of the 4th street bluff. After disembarking on top you will have a panoramic view of the city of Dubuque as well as three states- Iowa, Wisconsin and Illinois. The bluffs are beautiful in any season, but fall is particularlly breath taking. Experience the varied colors of the changing leaves and admire the Mighty Mississippi River.

Take the trip to the top and stay as long as you like with gorgeous views north and south on Mississippi River, and far into Illinois and Wisconsin. Then study the view directly below- steeples of churches, the gold-topped courthouse, parks and homes. Look at the postcard display in the outside the ticket house- these conveyances are rare, and you'll be pleased that you and your family took the opportunity to experience it.
