Transports
The Elevador da Gloria is part of the public transportation system in Lisbon, a practical way to get up and down the steep hills of the city. However, it is more than just a mode of transport - it is a historical treasure and a wonderfully scenic ride.
Not only will it save you from a dizzying climb up to Bairro Alto, but the mechanism itself of the funicular is quite fascinating to observe up close. Taking a ride on this elegant funicular is a must-do and the views will take your breath away.
The elevator will slowly lift you up the slope, a journey of 265 meters from the Restauradores Square to the Sao Pedro de Alcântara Belvedere. From the top you will be able to enjoy a bird’s eye view of the entire city while inhaling the fresh breezes from the Atlantic.
