A lift to spare your feet . It takes you to the nearby Santa Catarina neighborhood and a good way to get to Chiado, Lisbon's heart

The Elevator da Bica, at Rua da Bica Duarte Belo, establishes the connection between Largo do Calhariz and the St. Paul Street, facing one of the steepest slopes of the city.

Lisbon's most photographed street is probably Rua da Bica de Duarte Belo. It's in the historic and picturesque neighborhood of Bica, one of the city's most traditional neighborhoods, known for its small bars and especially for the iconic funicular that runs through it. Constantly photographed by tourists, the funicular has been going up and down the hill since 1892. The tiny neighborhood, found between the Bairro Alto and Cais do Sodré districts, is made up of cobbled lanes and stairways, dating back to 1597, after a landslide.

Great music, with some Portuguese tunes you've never heard mixed with international classics...

Constantly photographed by tourists, the funicular has been going up and down the hill since 1892. The tiny neighborhood, found between the Bairro Alto and Cais do Sodré districts, is made up of cobbled lanes and stairways, dating back to 1597, after a landslide. The land belonged to an influential Jew with ties to King João II, and was first inhabited by fishermen and fishwives. The name comes from a 17th-century water fountain ("bica"), although there are several in the area, that belonged to Duarte Belo, a local merchant. The fountains were popular meeting places, filling the neighborhood with life. Little affected by the 1755 earthquake, Bica offers a beautiful view of the river, and maintains the colorful 17th- and 18th-century buildings, many always with open doors, flower-filled balconies and laundry out to dry.
