Continue walking along the riverfront promenade (Cais de São Bento) until you reach the junction with Avenida de Cabo Verde. Turn left onto Avenida de Cabo Verde and continue straight until you see the signs for Elevador de Santa Luzia. The Homenagem ao Padre António Carneiro Grande is located at the top of the hill, near the Elevador de Santa Luzia. You can either take the elevator or walk up the steps if you prefer.

• Public Transport

  From the city center, head to the nearest bus stop and catch the local bus to the Elevador de Santa Luzia. Buses in Viana do Castelo are frequent, and you can check the timetable online or at the bus stop. Once you arrive at the Elevador de Santa Luzia station, the Homenagem ao Padre António Carneiro Grande is just a short walk from the elevator. Follow the signs and enjoy the scenic views along the way.
