Lovely little ride up to the top. Great views when you get there too. Some really nice graffiti art as you go up as well ...and of course its a free ride if you have the daily travel pass which is only 6.60

Walking down the hill was trecherous with Portuguese cobblestones and the rain so I thought I should do this tram. 5 minutes exercise for 4 Euro may not be the greatest use of your money, but it is safe, if nothing else. Partof the Liboa Crad if your purchase one.

Horribly organized in a sense of public transit. The ride itself is great but the process is painful. The line to get on can be long or short but the process is painful. Most people PAY CASH when they show up at over 4EUR one way. People should really just buy a DAY PASS for 6.80EUR for unlimited transit. It makes no sense. I'm sure Lisbon loves it to make more money but it is so slow when people pay cash to get on. a 3min ride takes 10min to get on.

It is fun ride up to steep hill. Skip it if the waiting line is long. Perhaps coming down it will be less crowdy. It is cover by metro card, although is more expensive ( ~ 4 euro). Nice view of Lisbon from the top of the hill.

My mum and I purchased a 24 hour travel card from the metro station to use for such activities today. We were there by 10am and there was no queue. The driver didn’t seem to have any job satisfaction and was very miserable! Fun ride up! We decided to walk down. Great little activity.

The elevator that has been taking Lisbon locals up and down the steep hills of the city. Each car holds a maximum of 42 persons and in the season these cars are packed with both locals and tourists. The route up hill ends at a very pleasant park with outstanding views over Lisbon. Downhill the rails end near the Metro (a very efficient transport system) at Restauradores. The fare is €4.10 for the return journey, however the handy tourist ‘Navegante’ card is also accepted. This card costs €6.80 for 24 hours travel on any tram, metro or bus. Great value.

Surprisingly short ride. I expected a longer trip with a view on the way up. Runs every 12 minutes. Is there's no queue and you can get a seat then try it. Otherwise, save your money and walk!

The best and shortest way to get the upper level of city - Bairro Alto/Chiado from Baixa is to take a ride the Elevador da Gloria funicular (a few blocks north of Rossio on Avenida da Liberdade, opposite the Hard Rock cafe) located near the obelisk at Praca dos Restaurados. You can pay the ticket directly to the driver, but this will cost you more or pay less of the difference in price if you use a Viva Viagem card. This little yellow train will take you up (a ride is 3 minutes) the steep hill to Principe Real district and breathtaking viewpoint Miradouro de Sao Pedro de Alcantara, if you wish to visit it. Short ride but worth it as the hill is a steep climb. This is not the only funicular in Lisbon, but the most popular and useful it saves your legs from fatigue as well as your energy for the rest of the day. This line was laid in 1885 and is somewhat of historical value. We took advantage of this trip in the middle of the day and there was no queue and we boarded the first train that was waiting for us.
