Before our journey, I read that the Funicular de Santa Luzia is the longest in Portugal. At 3€ return it was money well spent on a hot day.

€2 one way or €3 return. Last trip 19:50. No air conditioning on funicular but it takes 7 minutes once you are in. Only space for 24 people at a time.

I would recommend it for the experience. There is a lift for wheelchairs & ramp for bikes also. …

By the time it makes it to the bottom it is almost out of water. When the dry unit reaches the top it is filled with water and the cycle starts all over.…
