Elevadors

Edit This
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 the sun id declining.
