Hiking

The funicular railway runs through Rua da Bica de Duarte Belcio and connects Rua de São Paulo with Largo do Calhariz, located in the Upper Town.

Price for round trip September 2017: 3,70 EUR

Right in the old town. At Largo do Calhariz, at the top end of the track, there are almost every evening celebrating on the steps in front of the small pubs.

Hiking

The Bica Elevator, also known as the Bica Lift, is one of Lisbon's most picturesque and iconic funiculars. It was inaugurated in 1892 and designed by engineer Raoul Mesnier du Ponsard, the same architect who designed the Lavra and Glória elevators.

Hiking

Rua da Bica de Duarte Belo is Lisbon’s most photographed street, not just because it picturesquely frames a view of the river, but also because of its charming funicular. Inaugurated in 1892, this yellow funicular takes tourists and commuters between the Cais do Sodré district in the waterfront and the neighborhood of Bairro Alto at the top of a hill.
