Is Elevador da Bica worth it in a day?

DependsIn a day

Elevador da Bica is a real time commitment — fit it in only if it's a priority.

Allow 10–20 min.

The most photogenic of Lisbon's funiculars — a yellow car grinding up a flower-lined cobbled chute with the river framed at the bottom. The catch: it's brief and mostly about the photo, and the picture-perfect lane gets clogged with people staging the same shot. A delightful two-minute ride, not a sight.
