    I hated it, but loved it!

    It's an experience I'd say. Walking up to a hill with a noisy elevator. Scary for some, awesome for the other crew. It's not something I'll do it again. My advice is: Don't go here alone!

    Unique in the world

    I've talked about it in a previous review over Bom Jesus. It's one of the (i suppose) three unique types of funiculars (elevator) in the world. Reason also to the prize of UNESCO heritage that the Bom Jesus cute mountain is

    This is a fun way to go up and down the Bom Jesus monument. It costs 2.5 Euro for a round trip. But you will probably want to walk the steps one way or another. The vehicular is run by water so it takes 25...More

    Cool ride

    Nice to take at least one way trip with this antiquity. Better of from the top on weekends, since it gets very crowded down there. Cheap ride.

    Worth the money!

    It was definitely worth the little money to take this to the Bom Jesus. I walked DOWN the steps when I left but definitely didn't take them to the top. It's 600 steps from the bottom to the top and the first 300 are spread...More

    Good value for money

    It is a very ancient elevator using water energy. For the up trip, it saves really a large amount of craft and costs only 1.5 Euro.
