The lift is an extraordinary fixture in Lisbon with its metallic exterior and industrial shape, (much like Eiffel tower) but still manages to blend in perfectly with the city. We did not take the lift itself (as there was quite a row) but climbed the streets to the top, which allowed exploring the neighborhood and offered nice views of the city from the top (the platform on top is accessible without extra cost). This is a must see if you visit Lisbon.

There always seems to be a queue. We went early evening before sunset, and it moves quite quick. There is only one guy operating the one lift, plus checking passes and taking money. We went in June and the top viewing deck is closed, as the floor is damaged we overheard. So at the moment it is just a lift to take you up one of the many hills of Lisbon. Nice views at the top, but it wasn't overly clear the top viewing deck was closed.

Definitely worth seeing. We did not pay to ride the lift, but you can walk from bottom to top the ‘long way round’, or alternatively use the sneaky free lift to be found at the top of the steps behind the lift to the right, accessed through a small tourist ‘shop’ selling cork goods (see photos). It doesn’t get you all the way to the high level walkway, but it gets you half way there and IT’S FREE plus you get better views of the outside of the lift. You can walk around the lower viewing platform at the top of the lift FOR FREE; the highest viewing platform is currently closed.

Santa Justa lift is one of the favorite lookout spot of the city for an awesome view. The place is usually crowded during sunset as many people like capturing the picturesque city. The view also offers a beautiful view of Sao Jorge Castle.

This is a world famous elevator in Central Lisbon – almost the best description would be that it is a stand alone structure of approximately 50 metres or so in height. One can purchase tickets and go to the top of the viewing arena/gallery at the top of the structure. The entire structure looks quite menacing to me actually because it is almost entirely made with steel, a bit cold in the middle of the warm coloured buildings of Lisbon. The view from the top is quite good- but nothing spectacular. Better vistas elsewhere. Definitely worth a visit though, but can be avoided if queue’s are unending.
