Nowadays more a tourist attraction than a means of transportation, the Elevador Santa Justa links downtown Lisbon to Carmo Square; it also takes you to a great viewpoint over the city.
Already during my first visit to Lisbon, more than two decades ago, my attention was drawn to the Elevador de Santa Justa or do Carmo, the Santa Justa or Carmo elevator. Not only is it not very common to see elevators in the street; it also seemed like a brilliant idea in a hilly city like Lisbon. In Lisbon, there are more ways to conquer the surrounding hills and get up to the higher neighbourhoods: there are a few funiculars (called elevadores as well) and old trams working their way up the steep hills, and obviously you can train your legs and walk, too. But the Elevador de Santa Justa is the only elevator, and the most efficient one in that it takes you up fastest.
