The most photographed funicular in Lisbon, due to the dramatic contrast between the steep route and the river in the background, this is one of the city’s greatest attractions. It connects Largo do Calhariz to Rua de São Paulo in a heady descent possible on foot but an ascent only suitable for the hardy. Decorated by artists and witness to the vibrant nightlife in Rua da Bica, the tram seems to share the excitement of the rest of the city during the Festas Populares. It is declared a national monument since 2002 and in operation for a century.
