Hiking

This charming elevator takes us from the Cais de Sodre neighborhood to Bairro Alto, at the top of the hill. It is often called Elevador da Bica and is not only one of the most famous places in Lisbon, but also a valuable means of transportation. Its 200-meter route between Largo do Calhariz and Rua de São Paulo is considered the most picturesque of all the elevators in Lisbon.

Hiking

The Bica elevator is the third of the nineteenth century elevators in Lisbon (along with the Lavra elevator and the Glória elevator). Hidden in Rua da Bica, very close to Cais do Sodré, it is the least frequented by tourists. You will recognize it by the peculiar arch of its entrance, which seems to transport us to another era.

Hiking

During the day, the funicular runs through Rua da Bica de Duarte Belcio. So you can easily get from Rua de São Paulo near the Cais do Sodré train station to Largo do Calhariz, Chiado or vice versa.
They celebrate here at night.
