Lisbon’s GLORIOUS Funicular | Elevador da Glória | Full On-Ride POV

Start off this Christmas week right. Today we're going back to Lisbon, Portugal's capital, a city built upon 7 hills. To get up and down these hills, the people of Lisbon rely on a number of unique public transportation systems, such as the world's steepest tram and some really old elevators. Today we are riding the Elevador da Glória, a funicular built in 1885 that links the Restauradores district with the Jardim de São Pedro de Alcântara 44 meters higher. The ride aboard one of these classic funiculars takes about two minutes. It's loud, it's rickety, and it's history.

Trains Are Awesome!

Lisbon has such a variety of public transport options to overcome so many different situations and it's great it's all covered by the viva viagem card, and it's great value! Another excellent video Thom 😃🇵🇹

I believe the 900 mm track gauge is the narrowest track gauge in use anywhere in the world for a street tram system, certainly unique in Europe (Most tram systems use either 1000 mm or 1435 mm). However, I found the Santa Justa elevator to be a total ripoff, as it isn't that difficult (and faster!) to walk that hill.

Spray paint all over the place is so sad.
