Walking along the main street of Augusto, you will definitely see a high openwork structure - the famous Santa Justa lift. Its design reminds us of the work of the famous French engineer Gustave Eiffel - and this is no accident, because this elevator tower was designed by his student Raoul du Ponsard. The Santa Justa lift rises to a height of 45 meters and is made of wrought iron. There are two spacious old elevator car, alternately raising and lowering passengers. The lift connects the lower Baishu area with the upper Shiadu and takes you to the observation deck and the ruins of Karma Church. The cost of lifting / lowering the elevator is 5 euros. If you bought a Lisboa Card or a Yellow Bus tourist ticket, the lift ride is free for you.
After driving on the Elevador de Santa Justa, you have the opportunity not only to ride in this unique century-old elevator, but also to admire the amazing views of the old part of Lisbon from its two observation decks (entrance to the upper platform by spiral staircase - 1.50 euros without travel).
