Equipped with a panoramic cabin and free to use, it is an excellent means of transport that facilitates pedestrian connection between Rua Marquês d'Ávila e Bolama and Rua António Augusto de Aguiar. Next to the elevator there is a long staircase that seems to accentuate the difference in level even more. The Pedestrian Mobility Plan for this city, rich in steep slopes, includes two other elevators, one of them very close to this one, and a funicular.

Some say it's more charming in winter because of the added beauty the snow provides, but there are plenty of reasons to visit during the warmer months as well. Starting with the protected area of ​​the Serra da Estrela Natural Park, with its rich fauna and flora, and ending at Torre, the highest point in mainland Portugal. There's much to explore on foot or by car. Another unmissable highlight is Serra da Estrela cheese.
