Since the crash of the funicular (with several fatalities) in autumn 2025, the funicular has been completely shut down. At the same time, for safety reasons, (almost) all funiculars in Lisbon and the Santa Justa Lift have been shut down to carry out safety checks!

Praça Dom Pedro IV, traditionally known as Rossio, is the heart of Lisbon's Baixa district and has been the city's main meeting place, center of commerce, and public life since the 13th century. It's a vibrant, historic square with distinctive architecture that makes it a must-see for any visitor.

The Santa Justa Lift, also known as the Elevador do Carmo, is a historic elevator built in the early 20th century to connect the Baixa district with Largo do Carmo. It is one of the most photographed architectural icons in the city. Built between 1900 and 1902, it was designed by the engineer Raoul Mesnier de Ponsard, considered a disciple of Eiffel.

In Parque Eduardo VII, you'll often stumble across free-roaming peacocks, strolling leisurely across the meadows or hiding in the trees. Their magnificent tail feathers are particularly impressive when they display their plumage. It's a wonderful moment to pause, take photos, and enjoy this unexpected wildlife encounter right in the heart of the city.

From this vantage point, you can look down over the geometric hedges and lawns of Parque Eduardo VII to Avenida da Liberdade and the Tagus River. Depending on the light, the mix of greenery, city, and river creates a truly impressive panorama. It's ideal for a photo stop or a short break before heading back into the hustle and bustle of the city center.

The mural "Whose World Is This?" is an impressive piece of street art that immediately catches the eye with its vibrant colors and clear message. Nestled among the surrounding buildings, it almost seems like an open reflection on responsibility and the future. It's a perfect photo spot and a good moment to pause and take in the details.

The Marquês de Pombal Square is a large traffic circle with a tall monument to the statesman who rebuilt Lisbon after the earthquake. From here, the wide avenues of Avenida da Liberdade lead down into the city center, while behind you, Parque Eduardo VII rises. It's a good landmark and photo stop before continuing towards the center or up into the park.
