One of the most unusual and beautiful elevators in the world! The Santa Justa ski lift is not just a transport, but a real architectural work of art in the Neo-Gothic style. Cast-iron patterns, vintage atmosphere and historical significance make it a special place in the center of Lisbon.
The elevator connects the lower and upper districts of the city, making it easier to climb the steep streets. Even just seeing it from the side is already an impression, because the design resembles something from the Victorian era.
A real symbol of Lisbon, which should be included in the itinerary! 🚋🏛️
For altitude differences in Lisbon, this lift is a very good solution. You can go up without it, because it's just an elevator, probably you shouldn't queue for it on purpose (besides, it's paid). I didn't regret it, but I didn't feel wild delight either.
I think it's not worth it to stand and wait for half an hour until the queue comes up and still pay 6 euros for it, it's expensive! A train ticket to Sintra costs 2.50 euros for 35 kilometers))) There are plenty of viewing platforms in Lisbon
