Santa Justa Lift
The imposing Gothic structure isn’t easily ignored! Located in the Baixa-Chiado neighborhood.
Fortunately, when we decided to reach new heights, the queue was fairly short and we only waited around twenty minutes. The lift only holds around 20 people and requires 10 minutes rest between trips.
I paid around €5.30 directly to the operator on entry to the lift (without a Lisbon Card) that included an ascent, descent and up to the terrace reached by a staircase after embarking (turn immediately left on exiting the lift). If you're using a Lisbon card, the card only covers you for the ascent and descent, and the terrace is a further €1.50 paid on entry to the barrier.
