The Gloria Lift is an old tram-like public transport in Lisbon. Recognized as a National Historic Monument in 2002, it is one of the most used means of transportation in Lisbon and is especially popular with tourists. The elevator was officially opened to the public on October 24, 1885. It was powered by water, and in 1886, it was converted into steam, and in 1915, it became the current electric motor. The tram travels back and forth between Praça Restauradores and S.Pedro de Alcântara, starting from Praça dos Restauradores, and goes up 265 meters all the way to the high area. When tourists come out of the elevator to the San Pedro viewing platform, they can overlook the whole view of Lisbon and the distance. Overlooking St. George's panorama.

I could only see it from outside as it only works during specific times. Really pretty
This is one of the very good places, I highly recommend it to everyone to play together.
Lifts became a big attraction in Lisbon, parked on a trail for tourists to take pictures. There are two, one is yellow retro style, one is covered with graffiti. Many tourists come to take pictures. The elevator was not locked, and there were tourists going in to take pictures, but there would be staff nearby to stop it and not allowed to enter. I don't know if I am afraid that tourists will break it and get dirty. So whether you can enter it depends on luck. Compared with the elevator running on the street, this is more convenient for tourists to take pictures and watch. Fashion tourism blogger @kymico_chan
Lisbon's Gloria Lift is actually an ancient tram, a local especially popular with tourists. The Gloria lift follows the narrow, high and low Lisbon path, all the way up to the upper district terminal, overlooking the city of Lisbon and the castle of St George.
