About
Hurtige fakta: Fra det øjeblik man træder ind mærker man den kolde støbejernsstruktur og kan beundre de indviklede, neo-gotiske ornamenter mens byen folder sig ud under dig. Under den nostalgiske facade arbejder et gammelt tandhjulssystem, som stadig løfter besøgende næsten 45 meter og giver en overraskende jævn, næsten tog-lignende bevægelse.
Højdepunkter: Den 45 meter høje filigran-jernkonstruktion, tegnet af Raoul Mesnier du Ponsard og indviet i 1902, overrasker med sine udskårne gotiske detaljer og den svage lugt af maskinolier når kabinen hæver sig. Mange lokale har en lille tradition med at stå på øverste platform ved solnedgang, tælle de røde tegltage og lytte til kirkeklokkerne mens de nipper til stærk kaffe.
Insider tips
- Arrive before 9:30 AM or after 6 PM to avoid long queues, especially on weekends.
- Head straight to the rooftop platform for unobstructed views of Castelo de São Jorge and the Tagus River.
- Have a contactless card ready or buy tickets at the kiosk before boarding to speed up the line.
- Wear comfortable shoes for steep, cobbled streets if you plan to walk between Baixa and Bairro Alto.
