Elevador de Santa Justa
Take one of the most iconic elevators in Lisbon. A unique structure and a phenomenal view from the top make it one of the city's most sought-after attractions. The Santa Justa elevator is one of the most famous historical monuments in downtown Lisbon. Designed by Mesnier du Ponsard, it was originally called Ascensor Ouro-Carmo. It connects Rua do Ouro to Largo do Carmo, in a neo-Gothic style structure completely different from the other elevators in the city. The wooden cabins themselves, elegantly decorated with brass, evoke a journey through time as you ascend and descend towards the city's most exclusive areas. At the top of the tower you will find one of the best viewpoints in the city, which provides a splendid view of the Baixa, the Castle, the Tagus River and the impressive ruins of the Igreja do Convento do Carmo. It's worth climbing up and feeling a shiver of emotion with the landscape that stretches out before your eyes.
