[🇵🇹Lisbon] View of Lisbon from the Santa Justa Elevator

Lisbon's Historical Elevators There are several elevators in Lisbon, but the Santa Justa Elevator is particularly impressive. Built in 1902, this elevator features a Gothic design made of iron and rivets, giving it an atmosphere similar to the Eiffel Tower in Paris. This is because it was designed by Eiffel's disciple Raoul Mesnier de Ponsard. It has been used for many years as a means of transportation connecting the Baixa district, a low-lying area of ​​Lisbon, with the Carmo Square on the hill. Amazing View from the Elevator When you go up the elevator, you will arrive at an observation deck with a panoramic view of Lisbon's cityscape. From here, you can enjoy a beautiful panorama of Lisbon's unique red brick roof buildings. In particular, the view of the São Jorge Castle towering on the hill, the calm flow of the Tagus River, and the Baixa district with its colorful buildings is breathtaking. When I actually visited, I realized once again how unique and beautiful the landscape of Lisbon is. Tips for going up The Santa Justa Elevator is popular with tourists, so depending on the time of day, there may be long lines. If you want to shorten the waiting time, it is recommended to visit early in the morning. Also, if you have a Viva Viagem card that can be used on Lisbon's public transportation, you can ride the elevator without paying the regular elevator fee. Summary The Santa Justa Elevator is the perfect spot to view the city of Lisbon from above. Its historic Gothic design is also attractive, and it is a place where you can enjoy the culture and scenery of Lisbon at the same time. In particular, the view from the observation deck is worth visiting, so be sure to stop by when you are sightseeing in Lisbon. #SantaJustaElevator #LisbonTourism #BeautifulLisbonView #LisbonStreetScape #PortugalTrip #LisbonArchitecture #RedBrickRoof #BaixaDistrict #LisbonHill #PortugalTourism #Spring0YenTrip
