About	The Glória Funicular is one of the funiculars existent in Lisbon, right downtown, most precisely on the Restauradores Square. It makes the connection between this square and Bairro Alto (literally High Quarter) on a 265 metres journey up or down the hill. When you go out of the funicular you will find on the right side the S. Pedro de Alcântara belvedere, from where you get a magnificent view of downtown Lisbon and the magical St. George Castle. Just across the road, slightly to the right, at Rua de S. Pedro de Alcântara, nos.39-49, lies the Instituto do Vinho do Porto, where a vast range of port-wines may be tasted and purchased in the sumptuous surroundings of the Palácio Ludovice (1749). The Glória funicular opened on 24 October, 1885, and since then two funiculars have been going up and down, carrying locals and tourists on a journey though not being particularly rich in landscape, is still unique and very nice! The Glória is the busiest funicular in Lisbon and also the most accessible for tourists as it lies next door to the main tourist information office in the Palácio Foz.

Bela foto. Reconheço tão bem essa subida..e como é uma subida, a tua foto demonstra essa inclinação ingreme. Também gostei de ler sobre os elevadores/electricos. Parabéns Mário.

The perspective of the funiculars is good, the slope must be very steep because the two trams have a strange aspect and the people seem to walk with a great effort, I like all those coloured houses on the background and the beauty of this street. Bye Max
