Santa Justa Elevator is a stunning neo-Gothic landmark built in 1902 connecting the lower Baixa district to the upper Chiado neighborhood. Designed by Raoul Mesnier du Ponsard, a student of Gustave Eiffel, this iron tower rises 45 meters and offers panoramic views from the observation deck. The elevator is a working public transport and one of Lisbon's most photographed landmarks.
Only €1.80 with Viva Viagem card. Upper platform €5 extra. Free with 24h ticket

For the elevator experience from the bottom, yes - it is unique. But for views only, you can walk up the hill and enter free from the top or use the nearby Carmo elevator.
