Getting Around

Going South: Ferries + Trains

Not only is it pleasant for visitors to use ferries for their own sake but, if you look at the traffic queues for the bridge in the rush period, you will realise that it's sometimes the quickest way!

North Bank FERRY Stations=Lisbon (ALL): Terreiro do Paco + Cais do Sodre + Belem

South Bank FERRY Stations: Montijo, Barreiro, Seixal + Cacilhas + Trafaria

Interestingly bike trips and beach escapes start with a ferry crossing to the southern bank!

The best TRAIN station to the south is probably Sete Rios.

Elevadors

Getting from the level of the Barrio in Lisbon up to the Bairro Alto would either involve a very steep climb or a long zigzag route if it were not for the elevadors. There are four in total but two are worth taking for their own sake:

The Elevador de Santa Justa is a large outdoor lift from the end of a road to a level about half way up - very picturesque.

The Elevador de Gloria is a funicular up from near Rocio station to the Bairro Alto. To the right at the top is a view point across the lower city and up to the Castelo on the other side - superb when more..

Subway

In portuguese we call it metro. You can find all information you'll need here (in english): http://www.metrolisboa.pt/Default.aspx?alias=www.metrolisboa.pt/eng
